Should kids and college students go back to class in person or online this fall?

Touchy subject because young ones that are allergic can be royally fucked over or even die from an allergic reaction. My sister did almost die and even she somehow personally retained memory of the near death experience even though she couldn't have been more than just 5 years old.

Allergic to what?

Allergic to what?

Allergic to a vaccine ingredient. This was probably around 25 years ago. My convo with her was probably when we were teenagers, maybe 15 years ago. The paramedic response was able to bring her back. But it is the principal reason my mom has vaccine hesitancy now.

As for me, I have no hesitancy ( I got a tetanus booster a couple years ago with absolutely nothing, the male nurse even made the needle insertion painless) but my hopeless scientist part kinda of wants to be a guinea pig. It can't worse than the dude who handled the plutonium core with a screwdriver. The temptation to spend $150 on a T-cell test and then get the vaccine remains stuck my mind even though the frugal side says no.

Wow did not realize lot of kids were actually getting sick too now. Always figured they were mostly asymptomatic.

The media has been inconsistent with its information.
Children have always been susceptible to coronavirus just not as badly as seniors. And they do spread the virus to each other and to adults quite easily.
So yeah, we need them to wear masks. When able, we also need them to be vaccinated. Same with smallpox and measles and influenza.
The news doesn't show dying kids on TV and I think maybe the rest of us don't see it as a real problem consequently.
Conservative misinformation campaigns make it worse.

If vaccinated, butts in classroom. If not, they are on their own. Why this anti-vax thing is running amuck is just silly. Don't want to play by society's rules then die by the wasteside. I certainly will not offer help to those idiots not willing to help themselves.
