Pay attention ReTHUGs

5. That's coming from a nation with only 8.7 million people.

We have 330 million people.
It won't be hundreds of infections, it'll be tens of thousands.

6. Yes this is a time bomb

We must try to avoid this however we can. I doubt attendance will be sufficient to hold classes, meaning too many stay-at-homes to process. Parents will do what Trump won't.

If Trump rams this through it will be a cataclysmic failure, and unfortunate for victims. Most of all, unforced. Trump doesn't have to do this, but he's making America go through with it.

13. "Kids are low risk! Kids are low risk! Awrrrrrk!"

"And what about the teachers and other staff?"
"Awrrrk! Kill them all! Kill them all! Awrrrrk!"
(aide steps forward)
"...What Mr. DeSantis meant to say was, 'all lives matter'! He's not a willing foreign asset trying to get as many Americans killed as he can, that's just silly."

11. NBC nightly news

has 5 doctors on a segment about schools reopening and they said children cant transmit it and all would send their kids to school. Dont know what to believe anymore.

12. there was reporting a few weeks ago that the WH was recruiting physicians willing to go on tv and

support their positions. THAT is what you should believe. It isn't hard to identify those ER/ICU/Infectious Disease specialist physicians with the reputation to match their frequent appearances on tv. Not to mention the epidemiologists and public health experts. It is these newcomers with few to no publications nor credentials beyond general practice who come out of the blue to spout counter-narrative to the consensus views--but that "coincidently" echo the WH party line--that you should doubt.

14. Our only family related covid 19 case was school related

Back in March.

Husband/wife both work at home only outside contact was kids at school

Very sick but Ok

17. Importantly, on May 17 in Israel it appeared the virus not only was under control, but defeated.

Israel reported only 10 new cases of COVID-19 in the entire country that day.

Israel’s unchecked resurgence of COVID-19 was propelled by the abrupt May 17 decision to reopen all schools, medical and public-health officials have told The Daily Beast.
