| Comment | Its a virus. It doesn't care what age you are. That child can be the reason why a whole load of people wind up having the virus.
If a child can't wear a mask then keep them apart from others. If they can then they should. There's plenty of studies out there showing that masks largely have little to no effect on one's physical health. Rather most issues with masks are mental. I'm sure a child can be taught and get used to wearing a mask if its necessary.
But if they can't and need to be part of normal society then we change what's normal for this short term. People can't deal with not having things there way for a few Months and suddenly its the end of the world to them. So what if kid's can't go back to school for a while if that means less dead or dealing with long term health effects, and us being less screwed in the long term?
For how many years were children away from their regular lives in wartime? Other countries are dealing with the same issue and they're coming up with their own solutions instead of admitting defeat and just accepting the rise in cases. Teach kids over the internet. Wear masks. Social distance. Limit class sizes. Whatever. Its a pandemic which has killed millions. |
