@Mark_Butler_MP “kids are not suppose to die” nor should we continually subject them to a virus that can leave them maimed. If only you listened to the science, if only you consulted with doctors who told us this from the start like @drajm It is not too late to change course!

@Politicalmath Good news! Mehdi Hasan says there were basically no negative consequences to school closures. 😂😂

Just incredibly asinine reporting. Of course there is some risk to kids from Covid. But there are also grave risks to kids from not going to school. When you compare those risks, the risk from Covid is quite minor.
