I'm surprised that no one has pieced together the logic behind the high percentage of positive tests.
The only kids that are getting tested have parents who have shown positive.
So 1/3 of kids living with a positive parent (or two) have been tested and confirmed positive.
There is no additional "risk" where kids are more vulnerable than any other age category. There is just the obvious point where the selected individuals who are tested (54,000 kids out of the over 2,000,000 tests which have been administered) are the highest risk of sharing a living space with 1+ individuals who are already confirmed positive.

Every illness you have ever had in life is because your body's immune system lacked the antibodies to defend you from it. In that way, that ilness was "novel" to you.
Kids catch novel viruses all the time, not novel to all of humanity but novel to them.

Once it was obvious this wasnt a threat to younger people the narrative had to swing to this so here we are

Awfully convenient they trot this out as leaders are making the final decision on whether to have in person or online classes
No agenda at all...

Yup. And thousands of kids get Strep every year. But they recover and move on.
How many of these kids required hospitalization?
This whole lockdown was started so the healthcare system didn’t get overwhelmed. Politicians love to come on and say X hospital is at 95% occupancy. Hospitals are like hotels as far as occupancy. If the hospital is at 75% occupancy, administration is cranky and staff is sent home.
So a lot of these arguments and stories are nothing more than scare tactics.

I don’t believe a fricking thing that comes from Florida testing.

Are you a world health leader? Are you an epidemiologist? Are you even a teacher???
If not then STFU with your reckless pro-Trump rhetoric!!!
/S/ (as if needed, but I never know these days)

Yes the percentage of kids testing positive will be much higher because unlike adults they aren’t just going to go get tested on their own accord

Yeah, about that....

Know what else they are susceptible to? Poison Ivy.
Posted on 7/18/20 at 12:14 pm to musick
They may be more susceptible but they sure as hell don’t have a tough time with it. The flu in 2017 that got both my daughters kicked their asses. This stupid virus was a cold with fever. But I guess in a few years we find out if their lungs are like a smokers?
Posted on 7/18/20 at 1:13 pm to musick
But, do they spread the virus?
Posted on 7/18/20 at 1:24 pm to Dandaman
Of course, kids spread the virus.
But with the spring lockdowns, I'm betting all 15,000 of those infected kids got it from their parents.

And?
Nobody said kids don’t get this, they just don’t get anything serious from it. Flu is approximately 10x more deadly than this for kids.

That 31% number shouldn't factor into any decision making. It comes out of Florida during a time when their labs are under fire for very shady test reporting, and more and more frickery is coming to light in actual Covid hospitalizations and deaths.

That's pretty close to true.
Isn't Covid just another Coronavirus which includes the common cold.

There was a huge push that kids "weren't good vectors" of spreading this or contracting it, leading this huge push of opening back up schools nationally.
I felt this was relevant to that discussion.
People keep saying we should open schools immediately, all at the same time, nationally and just let it ride because kids aren't affected by this.
But I'm just not as sure, there's not many businesses or organizations that have opened that are similar to schools, that is people literally on top of each other in crowded buses and classrooms.
This is going to be an interesting way to end the year to say the least
