Huh? I'm not in this discussion. Sorry.

Because you always want to cite the Post & Times as “factual” you in fact are in this discussion Paul.

Just imagine for a second if Trump had said this:

But Cuomo is the liberals' voice of reason...

Children 'seem less capable of spreading virus'
Children appear to be "less capable" of spreading coronavirus than adults, the World Health Organization's chief scientist has said.

Soumya Swaminathan told the BBC's Andrew Marr that the WHO hasn't observed any big outbreaks linked to regular school attendance.

While she also said children were at "very low risk of getting ill" from Covid-19, she added that more information is needed about a rare syndrome that may be linked to the virus.

But sure, let's start the next school year with classes only being held two days a week like Dewine suggested.

He has no ability to see the big picture. His only focus is minimizing the spread while ignoring the damage is this doing to the kids socially, mentally and educationally. Does Dewine have anyone advising him besides for a Acton?

Edit: the news said some kids are turning red from covid. My daughter must have had it about a dozen times the, growing up.

My thoughts are as follows:
1 - Models are just that; models
2 - They can be good, or bad. Close or not so close to what actually happens
3 - I don't think doctors who try to model a virus are thinking politically. I think they are trying to be helpful.
4 - Sometimes they are going to miss, and miss by a lot.

But none of that in my mind is political. It's medical. It's science. It's estimates to try and help stop deaths. A virus can't think.
The fact that we characterize our responses to a virus as left, or right, or anything political, seems not productive at all to helping what we should do.

In a word...no. In Springfield Mike's mind "Doctor" Amy Acton is the end-all-be-all. She is calling the shots in the state of Ohio. She has more political aspirations than Dementia Joe Biden. We are screwed here in Ohio. I have a hard time believing that schools will open their doors this Fall with her incompetency at the helm.

It is only affecting the global warming crowd.

Well this is a pretty ignorant comment. I would imagine you interact with a fairly narrow group of people in a fairly narrow geographic cluster where (1) not many of them travel regularly for work etc. and (2) group think is pretty prevalent. I think it's great that Ohio and Indiana have fared so well with COVID and absolutely support lifting of lockdown measures. I also think Ohio was / is probably a little on the conservative side. Keep in mind that those are two relatively sparsely populated states, and just because something doesn't happen to somebody you know, doesn't mean it didn't happen. We have over 300MM people in this country.

I can tell you that here in the Northeast I have had multiple coworkers who have confirmed or suspected positive cases of COVID-19 as well as colleagues who have had close relatives die from COVID-19. One of my co-workers is from Queens. Basically his entire family got COVID.

Just because you guys don't know anyone in Indiana or Ohio who has had it doesn't mean it's not real.

Isn't ohio opening up the pools though at least? Here in socialist kentucky, governor dipshit doesn't think people can make their own decisions.

I really want to make a Kentucky joke here, but I'll refrain.

Kentucky doesn't have pools open yet? NJ just opened beaches and (for some reason) fishing charters among other things. I'm hoping pools are soon to follow. My family's quality of life in the summer is highly dependent on it.

Based on the scenes at Blind Pig and Rosedale over the weekend, it appears that at least some people and businesses cannot be trusted to make smart decisions. (however, shout out to all of the bars and restaurants that followed the rules and found creative solutions to expand seating)
