Apparantly quite a few... I have had an ongoing argument with my own son regarding why his friends could go hang out and he can’t. Apparantly I’m Hitler in his opinion.
If he is teen or older, tell him to look up "covidiots" that would work.

A non hysterical mother. children's immune system is very strong. virus mortality in children is 0 (zero) per 100.000. If they don't have a serious chronic disease, they will only gain immunity. Immunity is health. Read about herd immunity.
Children go home to their parents and grandparents. Just because mortality is zero doesn’t mean infection is also zero. My ten year old cousin got it, I know a three year old who got it.. and yeah, they’ll be fine. That doesn’t mean the people they come in contact will be.

I have done honors in virology, i know enough about immunity especially herd immunity. That is why I'm saying that mom is stupid and is putting her children at risk. Herd immunity isn't developed until an entire POPULATION has immunity, that even if they get infected they won't get sick. NOBODY has that with Covid, even people who are sick can get reinfected.

There have been cases of infants and toddlers dying of the disease, don't be naive.

the discussion point suddenly passed from children to grandmoms. :D


I say we have to work for this



Rates? numbers?



0 per 100.000
Quite an exception.


only for weak and sick people.
Let's talk about 99.xx percent of people.
The discussion didn’t move, they are intertwined. Unless you think all childre live in unstaffed orphanages somewhere..

“Weak and sick people” - what percentage of people do you think have an underlying condition of some sort?

And the words endangering children were never spoken by me.

first she talked about endangering children. When I said that the children didn't die from the virus, the discussion passed to grandparents
Kids usually experience a mild form of infection, whereas older people are more likely to go through severe forms of the disease. That’s what I got from her post

Edit: Therefore, when a child comes back home/visits their grandparents, they will infect them and it might cause the mentioned above.

"They social distance themselves in their own home as there is the potential that they could be reinfecting each other - no hugs, no sharing the couch, only elbow bumps in rare passing. Miller said that they are fortunate to have the space to stay socially distanced."

If you're showing no symptoms and are staying away from people, there is no need to distance from each other. Especially if you tested 5 times

Isn't it odd how children are Asymptomatic? Could it be, a child/teen hasn't messed up their health or immunity? As we become adults, it's when we're allowed to freely decide for ourselves and face the consequences of those decisions, and in turn do things that detriment our health and immune system.

Not really. The longer you have lived, the more you have inhaled bad stuff and the more damaged your lungs are the easier and faster it is to get infected.
However, still not all children are asymptomatic or teens as some have died or did get severely ill.
