Its pretty hilarious to think that a virus only starts affecting people at the arbitrary age that we decide kids become adults.
Because we need someone to babysit them during the day to get that economy moving. Also why education has suddenly become so important to Republicans who typically cry about it being a liberal brainwash center.
Kill off the children and it's a two for one. No potential future liberal voters and you can close down schools.
They share that with religious people.
Yeah, "the opposite of whatever science says" might as well be part of the GOPs platform at this point.
Thank youThe research is not conclusive on this, please stop posting Business Insider articles that claim to know about science. Business Insider generally takes nuanced articles from other publications and then distills them into the most click-bait, ideology-baiting statements to get attention. It's their business model, they take articles that people pay money for, written by good journalists that present all of the known facts, and then they strip out everything that seems like fluff to them, and repurpose it as a hard hitting takedown, in order to sell ads for junk. Other publications that do the same thing are The Hill, Forbes, Fortune, and dozens of others. It's best to stick to the publications that write the original articles about it, the ones you can trust, and be hesitant to form a conclusion.
The WaPo had a good article yesterday about conflicting research when it comes to children, infections, sickness, and transmission:
Children and the virus: As schools reopen, much remains unknown about the risk to kids and the peril they pose to others
The research is still inconclusive, and there's a lot of contradictory studies because we just don't know that much about the virus. It's not helpful to make posts as if research is conclusive when it isn't. Don't turn child transmission into another hydroxychloroquine, an issue that got politized immediately, with one faulty study being taken up by Republicans as proof that it was a miracle cure, and then two faulty studies contradicting that one, and then Republicans used the faults in those two other studies to then further promote the findings of the earlier faulty study.
I know we eagerly want to dunk on everyone, but please, just be responsible with statements of fact or arrogant statements of truth about the virus. We all want to think that we know everything about the virus, but we don't. This is literally how misinformation spreads.
Here is more information from the NYT about one of the studies that this Business Insider article is referring to:
Children May Carry Coronavirus at High Levels, Study Finds (Published 2020)
The research does not prove that infected children are contagious, but it should influence the debate about reopening schools, some experts said.www.nytimes.com
"That measurement does not necessarily prove children are passing the virus to others. Still, the findings should influence the debate over reopening schools, several experts said."
No. There is competing, contradictory research and the results across multiple competing studies are inconclusive because we just don't know that much about the virus yet. Please, don't act like President Trump, where he presents a list of statements and then puts a question mark at the end as if he's "just asking a question." Trump does this with hydroxychloroquine, with delaying the election, with re-opening the schools, with everything; I know he's the president of the United States, but he's not a role model anybody should emulate.
The NYT article above is one of the first ones covering the JAMA study as well as some others, the WaPo article above is a good synthesis of all of the recent conflicting studies.
But answering your fake question, from what most researchers and scientists still believe, the virus is generally not considered to be as dangerous for children as adults. But, that shouldn't be misconstrued as "There are no dangers for children," or that "children cannot get the virus," or that "adults are not at risk from getting the virus from children." We should be especially cautious in places that still have widespread outbreaks, like most of the United States.

To add to this, here is a German study from April that concludes that children are just as contagious as adults. In my opinion, this discussion is settled:

I mean the headline is spot on. More studies have come out recently that do point to children being vectors for transmission. I'd much rather rely on recent studies and real world examples verses a couple of garbage studies from the beginning of the pandemic. It might not be completely settled but the way it currently stands we should be treating kids the same as adults when considering transmission.The research is not conclusive on this, please stop posting Business Insider articles that claim to know about science.
