Ridgewood NJ, a new research letter in the New England Journal of Medicine presents comprehensive data from Sweden, where schoolchildren up to age 16 never stopped going to school and never adopted masks or distancing measures.
Among the 1.9 million children in Sweden, just 15 required intensive care and zero died. Less than 10 preschool teachers and 20 schoolteachers required intensive care, the latter substantially lower than the average across all professions.
Ridgewood teachers union study says schools are dangerous. Who cares about Swedes? It’s much safer to teach kids from a summer home in FL.
The study also says that Covid particularly attacks vitamin D-deficient people. Hence, science says teaching from a FL beach, remotely, is most appropriate. Anyone who says otherwise, and is actually in this country, is unscientific, is a racist homophobe, and deserves to be de-platformed, fired from work, arrested on public endangerment charges and sent to re-education gulag.
Response to this virus was (pardon the expression) trumped up to find a reason to cheat in the election and remove Donald Trump from office.
COVID is real.
Reaction to it is overzealous AND largely driven by politics.
