New CDC study finds kids at daycare spread COVID-19 to parents and teachers

 

What a shock.

 

Obviously, we must force them to go to school.

The fact that they needed a study for this shows you the state of our country and how stupid we are.

 

Yeah.  "News Flash:  Kids in day care spread germs."

Kids spread viruses?!?

 

Shocking news.

No rational person had any reason to assume children would not spread this disease.  Every parent knows damn well that their children spread disease, and that this increases exponentially the moment they step into day care or return to school.  They know because their children have gotten them sick.  Repeatedly. 

 

Indelicately put, children are gross.  They are a class of human that literally have to be forced, often kicking and screaming, to wash themselves.  Any disease that can be spread by dirty hands, touching faces, or air will be spread quickly by a small army of children that have decided an old card board box is really a fort.   

 

No leader sincerely thought that kids wouldn't spread this disease, they just found it useful to pretend they believed otherwise.  It allowed them to push for reopening without having to say "we don't care if you get sick, we want to fix the economy in time for the election."

Face masks could be giving people Covid-19 immunity, researchers suggest

 

Face masks may be inadvertently giving people Covid-19 immunity and making them get less sick from the virus, academics have suggested in one of the most respected medical journals in the world. 

 

The commentary, published in the New England Journal of Medicine, advances the unproven but promising theory that universal face mask wearing might be helping to reduce the severity of the virus and ensuring that a greater proportion of new infections are asymptomatic. 

 

If this hypothesis is borne out, the academics argue, then universal mask-wearing could become a form of variolation (inoculation) that would generate immunity and “thereby slow the spread of the virus in the United States and elsewhere” as the world awaits a vaccine.

 

It comes as increasing evidence suggests that the amount of virus someone is exposed to at the start of infection - the “infectious dose” - may determine the severity of their illness. Indeed, a large study published in the Lancet last month found that “viral load at diagnosis” was an “independent predictor of mortality” in hospital patients.

 

Wearing masks could therefore reduce the infectious dose that the wearer is exposed to and, subsequently, the impact of the disease, as masks filter out some virus-containing droplets.

That video isn’t real, right? That’s from Onion TV or something.

Any video that says "you must watch this" without any context immediately does not get watched.

You should watch it.

 

edit: I’ll add that a fair counterpoint would be that you absolutely should not watch it.
