A mother’s gut-check is not shallow emotionality. It’s an instinctive survival system built up over millions of years of evolution.

Well if we were just listening to the science, we would not be sending the children back to school.

The best decision-making factor for whether or not a child goes back to school is a mother’s gut-check.

For all we know, children haven’t been getting it as much because they haven’t been at school! Also, this isn’t only about the children. It’s just as much about transmitting it to their parents and grandparents.

The answer is not to expose them to a deadly illness. The answer is to feed them another way!

Oh please. If a child has the measles they stay home from school. Staying home to prevent an illness makes sense, just like staying home because you have one. Your parents aren’t “abusing” you; they’re keeping you from risking your life.

Years later when the child gets into therapy, he has to work through his anger at Mommy for standing in the hall while Daddy hit the kids, wringing her hands but not calling the police.

Actor #1: We’ve got to get people back to work.
Actor #2: But we can’t do that if their kids are still in school.
Actor #3. I have an idea! Tell them it’s necessary for the kids mental health!
Actor #2: I don’t know. Some kids might die...
Actor #1: Nah, they’ll get over it.

Sending children back to school before we have Covid under control is a collective form of child abuse.

I totally support you in doing whatever your gut tells you to do. (If it were me I would not send my child to school in that situation)

So what’s it going to do to a child’s “mental health” for the rest of their life to realize they brought Covid home from school and it killed a parent or a grandparent or both? #DontBuyIt
