    Does he mean the young people currently being forced back into in-person schooling so their parents can be forced back to work?

    Those young people?

      Same in my country, where people simultaneously assume that young people spread infections because they party illegally, yet are firmly convinced that nobody gets infected at school because the government said so.

      Yet after the schools were closed for 3 weeks, infections among pupils halved. And that was during the holidays, when you'd assume these infectious teens have that much more opportunity to party and infect each other.

        Ontario suspended contact tracing full stop, I guess that's the easiest way to hide that schools, offices, warehouses and construction sites are super spreaders and instead pretend that everything has gone to shit because your neighbour had friends over last weekend.

      It looks like he's from Ontario, so yes, lol. Instead of criticizing the government for reopening schools while cases were starting to surge, he's making some bizarre point about how children need to work harder to stop spreading covid. The "feeling of immorality" quote is especially strange because I'm almost certain that was said about young adults and not four year olds.

      Ontario has had really lax restrictions and the gov't is trying to push the blame onto people not following their suggestions. "Damn kids and their parties spreading covid" is a common sentiment around here so I guess this is that argument taken to it's logical extreme.

    In Chicago they decided on opening schools a week or so past the 3rd surge's peak, so probably another couple weeks to a 4th surge.

      Schools are closing left and right already because like half the teachers have covid in Chicago. I know a few teachers that have covid. I also know a few support staff who have died from covid they got at schools.

      This was after the city pushed some weird bunk article about how kids are getting PTSD from having to school at home and using that as their primary reason to send kids back (as always, "think of the children!!"). As if going to school and watching their friends and teachers get covid and die won't give them PTSD?

      It is literally insane. Society is just throwing people into the meat grinder now for the hell of it. There's no benefit to any of this but we're doing it anyways

    not to mention many shit wage jobs (fast food, grocery) are staffed by young adults who have to either work or starve but their workplaces are lax with safety measures
