Re-opening Schools in the era of COVID

In San Diego... the stats show on the Union Tribune website no one under 19 has died.

Has anyone bothered to post stats on this thread or have governments anywhere discussed about how often healthy kids catch the virus? .

How often healthy kids who catch the virus has even flu like symptoms?
How often kids with healthy immune systems spread the virus to others?

My wife works in a children's hospital... I know doctors who work in Children's hospitals who are very concerned about virtual learning in light of the fact this virus is not even the flu for many kids under 19.

It would be really fricken nice if we had the data and were making decision based on science and data.

Are kids with healthy immune systems even a risk for teachers who stay socially distanced.
Can anyone produce that science. The only study I found was from Iceland.
 
do you all have any other studies.

Icelandic Study: ‘We Have Not Found a Single Instance of a Child Infecting Parents.’


Children under 10 are less likely to get infected than adults and if they get infected, they are less likely to get seriously ill. What is interesting is that even if children do get infected, they are less likely to transmit the disease to others than adults. We have not found a single instance of a child infecting parents.

Other researchers in other countries aren’t quite so sure of that, determining that children can definitely carry the virus. (It may be that children’s immune systems fight the virus better, resulting in less coughing, which reduces the likelihood of infecting someone else.)

If the Icelandic conclusion is accurate, it would be a strong argument for reopening schools, suggesting that children would not be at harm from exposure to each other, and that teachers would be similarly unlikely to catch the virus from their students. (Teachers could catch the virus from other teachers and other adults in the school.)

More...
What you and others completely miss over and over is kids catch "things" very easily and get over them very easily, but can then pass them on to others very uhh what's the word ... easily.

Just like mask wearing is done not just to stop someone from getting the virus but passing it on.

Back and forth, round and around. All because we didn't all shutdown together and reopen together. Rinse, repeat till who knows when.
 
Your kid is much more likely to be kidnapped or abducted than they are to die from Covid, and by quite a large margin. An astronomically larger margin. Why isn't that number being scrolled across the screen day and night? Why aren't we having a national conversation about that? After all, it's all about the safety of the children, isn't it?

According to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), every year, more than 200,000 children are abducted by family members. An additional 58,000 are taken by nonrelatives with primarily sexual motives. However, only 115 reported abductions represent cases in which strangers abduct and kill children, hold them for ransom, or take them with the intention to keep.
