It's being done all over the world now, just not in the United States because Democrats think that they can somehow influence the election toward Biden if parents have to school their children at home. Who would have ever thought the Democrats would embrace home schooling.
They still do not know much about the virus. Teachers have come down with and died from COVID during summer school here in the U.S. and these teachers were taking all necessary precautions. That is a fact that cannot be disputed. According to recent news report from reliable sources, they have just discovered that COVID can kill children though the chances are lower. Moreover, even if it doesn't kill children or even adults, it still leaves life long health damage to the person or child infected. Plus, the kids can become vectors of spreading COVID to adults. My nieces and nephew come often to visit and they enjoy visiting my wife, mother and myself.
However, we have told them given that my sister and brother in law have decided to send their kids (they both have to work and I can understand their decision given the circumstances they are under) to school that they cannot come back over until this pandemic is over and their is a high unlikelihood they could possibly spread it to the rest of us. Unfortunate that it has to be that way as it might be a long time before they can come over and see and visit with us. But at the end of the day, my household has to take steps to protect our lives too. We don't need to be sending kids back to school. We are further spreading COVID by doing so and we must first get through the pandemic BEFORE we ever send any child back to school. One would argue, that if we don't send kids back to school we will damage their emotional development.
However, we will probably do far greater emotional damage to kids by sending them back to school, having them contract COVID and then those kids spread that virus to other members of the household and those members end up being killed by the virus. That will certainly emotionally damage the development of kids if that happens. To top it off, for my nieces and nephew, they are going be cut off for an unknown period of time, perhaps an extended period of time from some of their extended relatives in my household because they are going to school.
It would be better for the emotional development of kids to be able to spend time with close extended relatives without fear that they might give those extended relatives a virus that could kill them or damage their health permanently in some way. You mention scientific evidence and I see you post all the time but you never post your sources for your information. Post your scientific evidence from a reputable, authoritative and untainted source of information and I might take you seriously. Back up your claim from an untainted and authoritative source. Post your sources and I'll post mine. Otherwise, you are just gas-lighting as usual like your narcissistic, evil and tyrannical mentor Trump.
