In reply to the discussion: GOP candidate wants kids back in school just like in the 'pre vaccine era' [View all]dawg day
(7,947 posts)suggests that it can cause serious and lasting damage to a scary percentage of kids.
Few kids get the virus, but even some of those who had a mild case are getting what looks like an overwhelming immune overload days or weeks later.
But then, these GOPers don't actually care about kids. They don't even care about schools. This is all in slavish obeisance to Trump. He says, "We need to re-open, and start with schools!" and after that, there is no choice for them, apparently. They have to go to obscene lengths to justify and support him.
(And I went to school in the pre-vaccine era. I remember measles sweeping through my little Catholic school. These younger GOPers are fortunate that they didn't have to live through that, thanks to the WHO and CDC and other health organizations that invented the vaccines and got them out to the entire world.)
