And we get more from those capitals than our own. The last time Richmond cared about this end of the state, the Native Americas were still the majority land owner.
what data?? well that tells me all i need to know. this doesn't kill kids, 0 kids have died in the state of VA under the age of 18 and only 56 died nation wide, compare this to other diseases. median age of people passing from covid is 78 and guess what happens to be the life expectancy in America? you guessed it 78. kids should be in school this has become politicized and here we are. but don't worry after Nov 4 it will all disappear. all the deaths well when the smoke clears and they actually find out who died of covid and who died with it the numbers will look alot different.
Covid19 is more than serious. It's the real deal. There's no question about it. I have had it, so I can attest to it personally. We are trying to go by science and it's important to go by science IN ALL facets of any argument or debate or discussion about C-19 from start to finish. For example, we have several pieces of sound data above in this thread giving numbers about C-19 that are accurate and there's no question, any thought stating it's not very serious or is fake is just absurd. We have scientific data, metrics, and more to support this point. With this written, lets CONTINUE with the scientific viewpoint. We also have data suggesting throughout history that many, many contagious and serious illnesses for some reason or another (be it Darwinian selection or Divine intervention) children DO NOT transmit very well do adults. From smallpox to Ebola to the Spanish Flu, and to even chicken pox (yes, an adult who has never had chicken pox can be around a child who has it and remarkably, the adult usually and somehow doesn't get it.) Of course today, we have a vaccine for this as well.
Anyway and historically, it is certainly possibly and it happens, children can surely transmit serious and contagious illnesses to adults, but it is overwhelmingly LOW in chance. We have theories why, but still aren't completely sure. With all of the above written, we have very, very, very little data so far on C-19's ability to transmit/infect from a child to an adult or more important and vulnerable, a transmission from a child to an elderly adult who likely has co-morbidiities. Of the anecdotal data we have with C-19, and it's only anecdotal so far, it's becoming very clear that children are very unlikely to transmit the virus to adults. Yes, it's possible and it's easy to cherry pick the one case in Iowa or Colorado where the kid gave it to 5 adults, etc ) but it's absolutely the exception to the rule. The media has been and continues to beg for, to actively seek out, to look for this scenario and has been doing so for months, and they are turning up empty 99% of the time. One theory is that the immune response is so overwhelmingly powerful in children that the virus is weakened to the point that the overall "viral load" in the child is so rapidly decreased that sheer volume of virus around an adult or other child is greatly limited. Because of this, I am in fact, very much in favor of ALL schools opening and returning in class. With that written, when I say all schools, I am talking about Pre-K through 8th grade. I would be in favor of High Schools returning only with mandatory mask policy and would prefer a mixed curriculum of 2 or 3 days in school and 2 or 3 days online. With colleges, I would halt all public attendance until December. This is only my opinion, and yes, as you may suspect, I am in the medical field and have Dr as one of my credentials. It's also how I contracted the illness months ago. If we are going to argue scientific data to support an argument (a good thing) then we need to stay with that data or lack thereof when arguing the entire argument, from start to finish. The data in my opinion is far, far in favor of returning pre K kids through 8th grade to school, and in High School, its tricky, it's 50-50.
Just ignore him. I’ve already used the ignore feature for his content. Growing increasingly tired of BS as I get older and just don’t want to see that junk anymore. Glad Marty Smith is from Giles. He balances out the bad apples.
