Breh, I don't know where you get your information from, schools in California are only
just now opening.
This is from December
Many schools are already offering in-person classes, even with surging coronavirus cases, and there have been few outbreaks, said Linda Darling-Hammond, president of the California State Board of Education and an emeritus Stanford University education professor. More than 1,730 schools have received state waivers to reopen classrooms.
“Even in places of high rates of transmission, they are going to school safely,” she said.
In other states where schools did open at some point during the winter, they typically did so with mask wearing, social distancing, being very strict about sick kids not attending class and immediately isolating any kids who showed symptoms. Almost everywhere students were given the option to remain in remote learning if they desired, and even in states where schools were "open", many individual schools and school districts either stayed shut or ended up having to shut down when they had outbreaks.
Saying that you could understand a 15-20% drop but not a 97% drop is just failing to give credit to the exponential nature of disease transmission. You can get a 15% drop in flu cases just by closing schools in one city for one week (it's been shown in spring break studies). When you're doing massive interventions across the country, you can have a far more profound effect than that, because even in the instances where people are moving stupid, they haven't been exposed to enough sick people from outside to even introduce the virus to their circles in the first place.
Please share where you get that 15% decrease in flu cases by closing schools in 1 city for 1 week.
Also, you're only focusing on states, cities and people that do adhere to the strict guidelines and health advisements.
There are literally millions of people that as you like to say "move stupid" but yet there's only 600 flu deaths. The math isn't there. How do you know how many of millions of people were exposed to sick people to make your claim?
It's not like we're a bunch of disconnected little communities that each has its own outbreak. The entire globe has reduced flu cases because the entire globe is doing shyt to try to avoid transmitting disease. When so many fewer people are going to school, going to work, going to big social events, hanging out indoors, travelling, etc. and many of them are masking up and staying socially distanced when they do go, when people are more paranoid than ever before about staying isolated when they get sick, it's going to have a profound effect.
There's been nearly a million flu tests carried out across America since flu season started, by clinical labs across the country. Do you believe it's a massive conspiracy where they're all lying simultaneously?
are you saying this isnt happening
Holy shyt, breh. Serious question... is English your first language?
