    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.
