It's not even that. We are just starting to lose all sense of objectivity and for nothing but fear of the unknown.
In the entire state of Kansas in ages 0-64 we have lost 91 people to Covid in 5 months. The youngest was 18. The next youngest was 20. Those are the only 2 deaths in the entire state for the 0-24 age group.
Nothing about these numbers at all says "don't have school". For the 2019-2020 flu season which is 9/1-5/31 the state lost 1516 people.
On a relative basis to Covid deaths we lost 86 more people per month to the flu than we are to Covid.
This is simple math:
Flu related deaths per month during flu season 1516/9 = 168.44
Covid related deaths since March 2020 411/5 =82
And even with Covid cases increasing the deaths are not
No one gave a rat's ass about school being open then.
These are numbers that at any other point in time people wouldn't even think twice about sending their child to school. It's ****ing insane at this point to think everyone is going to start dropping dead when the the ****ing numbers show otherwise.
