Connecticut schools to be closed for rest of school year

[Unregistered]

Look at the data. it is not just kids that will be fine. We are all on lockdown because people older than 80 are dying.

Call Lamont's office. Call your state legislator. Why are you arguing on a soccer website? School is done for the year. Get over it.

Just saying it's not as easy as just saying "kids will be fine." There's a much bigger picture to consider and educators are trying to figure it all out. It's still the beginning of May, plenty of time to plan for different scenarios. No one wants schools to stay closed, especially parents. But neither do educators - they know distance learning is a piss poor substitute and isn't sustainable long term.

We don't know yet if kids will be fine:

Plenty of teachers are in the age ranges to still be sickened by Covid, even hospitalized. Ages 24-64 make up 60% of all cases. Doesn't mean they'll die in huge numbers, but they do get sick. Plenty of teachers have comorbidity issues as well

Most substitute teachers are older and often former teachers.

Age isn't your only risk factor - so is diabetes, obesity and other fairly common conditions that millions in the US have. If we kept all the teachers away that had any risk factors there wouldn't be enough to teach a grade, let alone a whole HS.

we know plenty of HS soccer refs are old :)

Yeah but those refs only move 10ft both directions and never cross midfield so they should be fine.

Kids are fine. Look at data not some online news article by someone with not critical thinking skills.

From CT site above:
0-19 years old: 2/837... 0.23% mortality rate with no vaccine nor therapeutics
20-59 years old: 170/17147... 1.0% mortality rate with no vaccine or therapeutics

The above mortality rates are probably much lower because asymptotic cases were not counted/missed.
