Bad news about reopening schools: Summer camp took almost all precautions and still 76% of the kids attending got infected

/\ It has been reported/claimed that since victims don't build up reliable/lasting immunity, the virus keeps going round and round like the wheels on the bus. And every time someone has gotten sick a second or third time it has hit them harder.

I just read that in my native Belgium, a grand total of only 36 children were infected in schools and holiday camsp over the past 6 months. That's in a country of 11 million people. Here in Vietnam it's even less. So stop the excuses already.

Part of the human race has decided it is above protecting others against itself. This is going to be very, very bad. Spanish flu, anyone?

I do think that headlines like '76% of kids attending got infected' are misleading
People reading that will automatically equate being infected with being hospitalised. That is not the case
Only one child without underlying medical conditions has died in the world.

Well the current data contradicts that.
While infection rates in responsible countries (I exclude Trump's America) are still high but declining, hospitalisations and deaths have plummeted. This has to mean that herd immunity is taking hold

been saying for months--keep schools closed until the new year.

And even worse is the first part of "Summer camp took almost all precautions and still 76% of the kids attending got infected" because, as has been stated before (and as anyone can read from the OP) the camp didn't take any precautions whatsoever. Zip, zilch, zero. Nothing, nada, niks, nul, niente.

Trump and the Republican party should get most of the blame for stoking the crowd that think covid-19 is a hoax.

absolutely but never underestimate the dumb fucks in this country---this election should be an easy Dem landslide but won't be.
