A study suggests there is little evidence the virus is transmitted at school, according to a scientist who backs reopening..

One of the largest studies in the world on coronavirus in schools, carried out in 100 institutions in the UK, will confirm that “there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted” there, according to a leading scientist.

Professor Russell Viner, president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and a member of the government advisory group Sage, said: “A new study that has been done in UK schools confirms there is very little evidence that the virus is transmitted in schools.

This is the some of the largest data you will find on schools anywhere. Britain has done very well in terms of thinking of collecting data in schools..

Statistics are meaningless when you have fear to run the world.

Central Bucks School District - ONE of the largest in SE PA - ALL virtual till end of first marking period 11/11 - Current COVID positivity rate in Bucks County - Just over 1%.

UNREAL. Make NO sense. Except for the correlation between Election Day and start of live classes.

Scotland is going to open its schools.

They worry most about the teachers, who are required to maintain social distancing from the pupils.

In Florida, parents were allowed opt their children out of in-classroom instruction.

If the school admins & teachers (look for the Union label) are closing schools AND keeping all of the taxpayers’ money / full salaries & benefits , you know where their priorities lie (and it’s not with the kids)..

What gives the Union thugs a right to demand teachers to be paid while not providing a service?

Interresting.😮 Chicken pox, flu, colds, bronchitis, head lice and god knows what else get brought home and are transmitted between students...but not civid19. But covid 19 is dangerous in churches and in the air on your front porch. I know that my kids used to bring home all kinds of contagious goodies, as did my grand kids. I used to make the grandkids drop their bags at the door and go wash their hands immediately..and without touching anything as soon as they entered the house. That helped a bunch. Some of the garbage being spouted by so-called experts simply floors me.

Study from the New England Journal of Medicine shows the only reason for keeping children home from school is politics..

It’s almost like Democrats are destroying our economy to win an election.

The Florida Constitution requires uniform high quality K-12 education be provided under state law.

Bucks is blue.

Only because of all the idiots fleeing Philadelphia who continue to vote Democrat.
