The info ecology has switched from underplaying the threat to scaremongering—human nature plus business incentives. It's easy to laugh at QAnon folks who fear widespread cult kidnappings of children but alarmism directed at children is eternal. Not limited to any political group.

Many people are about to flood my mentions about how schools are irredeemably unsafe, cannot be opened till this is over. It's become difficult to have an evidence-based conversation about this but we must try because children are also being gravely harmed by closed schools.

This disease has startling age specific differences. Yet, we're opening up higher education despite evidence young adults can drive spread (efficient transmission but not sick enough to slow down) but K-6 remains locked down even in places with low community prevalence. Baffling.

I've now heard this from more than one school district. They're reportedly bringing in staff to school IN PERSON to do prep for virtual teaching.
This is a terrible idea. Staff-to-staff transmission, followed by high-schools, is the biggest risk for K-12.https://twitter.com/CruzThirsty/status/1304125602597941248 …Show this thread

what difference does it make WHERE they caught it? What this shows is that it is TOO PREVALENT and out of control to send anyone to school or anywhere. without strict enforcement of masks and limited gatherings we will never get rid of this virus.

I mean.. it matters a little bit. We are past the point of no return in regards to full lockdowns so it is scientifically relevant to know where spread happens so a) we can contract trace and b) we can know what is safe to open and what is not. So...yeah it matters.

Of course, they can only transmit it at school if they caught it at school. Everybody knows that.

I thought I was crazy for thinking this. Glad I wasn’t alone.
