I can tell you as an SFUSD parent that is unsure, but is far from an alpha parent and do believe the Earth is round, you did not mention the main reason that I am concerned. You stated that data from Sept. ‘20-Jun. ‘21 showed that children were largely unaffected-I agree with that and the data clearly shows that. However, the data that we are seeing after June of this year, when the delta variant started spreading, is that children are clearly affected, and in much greater numbers than the original or alpha variants. Also, could you please tell me where they’ve published their ventilation standards? I am genuinely curious because it is my understanding that there wasn’t one. Please do some genuine research before issuing blanket statements about parents that are concerned for their children’s health. I absolutely believe they need to be in school, but I am also following the science, and have legitimate questions about sending them back right now while this variant is surging and a vaccine for them is coming soon.
I support in-person learning. You are correct. However, until there are risk/benefit analyses of children being masked up all day, I'll remain skeptical regarding the efficacy of overused, non-medically compliant, not sealed at the perimeter, and not replaced every couple of hours masks. Especially on children who will treat them like toys. Touch them. Swap them with friends. Play with them on the school grounds. If that still sounds like an effective way to deal with viral transmission, then I'll need to see data on that as well. Masking is elusive enough with adults. How many Bazooka Joe Bandanas, Rainbow Flag Virtue Signaling hand towels, and Faux Surgical Greens do you see? They are theater and we're in Idiots Delight right now.
I don't think the woman who said she'd rather her kids were stupid than dead has thought this thing all the way through. Forget the science part, she can't understand this anyway and anything she can't understand is stupid. Stupid is as stupid does. If her kids stay at home and don't get schooling when they are old enough they will be out on the streets doing what kids who have dropped out of school have been doing all along, being little thugs. And, here's the part she hasn't thought through, in very little time plying their thug art they will be dead, either from a police gun or a peer's gun.
