See! They arent keeping 6 ft apart. Its impossible with kids.

The COVID-19 infection is on the rise in children and Trump is pitching the notion children are immune to the virus. It appears TRUMP will do and say anything to get reelected.

Of course...they've been sheltered for so long.

Sure fakenews.

But let’s open schools anyway, GovRonDeSantis richardcorcoran, I mean, what can go wrong?

yes recnt data, data that hasnt been thought through throughly so what good it is really

So glad I’m almost done with the public school system.

Holy F! How effing predictable is this BS! You guys are INSANE!

How ironic is that.......

Beginning of HERD

I, for one, did not see this coming.

Must Scare Everyone Nothing Safe Ever Close Schools Mail-in Election Stop Trump From Saving America

And here comes.....Plandemic.As soon Trump announces some back to normal news,the Fake News its in charge of the escaleting cases hoax.

Man at first I thought the kid on the left had some Popeye forearms.

Stop the Propaganda!

Don’t believe anything from these dominant liberal establishment media outlets. Primarily propaganda. They’ve cried wolf one too many times.

I bet they are recovering just fine.

Liars. Check for tainted samples. Certain tests are registering positive for Covid when in fact, it may just be a cold.

I wonder how many people actually read the article?🤔

Weird how increased exposure means increased infections. Who could have known?

We are the news now.

Damn the swamp never gives up. !!

And death rates hovering at about .006%

Fair question. Why are child cases on the rise now Why when media wants fear around schools starting? 🤔

Schools & teachers will not be funded , staying closed

Fake News is working OT.

. Remember that student who got suspended for posting a photo of his schoolmates not wearing masks? That high school in Paulding County, Georgia, closed because of an outbreak. Pretty stupid administrators for causing this illness and possibly death.

Well the parents took them out all summer on trips and exposing them to other people with no Masks what do they expect.

How many times does science need to be borne out before these knuckleheads decide to listen?

pdacosta Must be true...the figures are not made up!! FEAR False Evidence Appearing Real Ronan Farrow is gonna get you ABC lolol

pdacosta I never thought we were the kind of people who would just sit back and let someone hurt our chikdren, but here we are. I've made an appt to see the top donor and the field coordinator at our schools here. Both are conservative, but I have to try.

Schools are SUPERSPREADERS.

PCR TEST IS A SCAM! There is no increase in deaths because of 'covid19' which only exists in computer models. All deaths are reclassified. The only 'healthy' deaths are within the standard rate of unexplained deaths, without thorough medical examination. They are now DENIED that.

Some schools in Indiana already closing and going online due to infections after just opening.

This is a great idea

If they have to wear face coverings, stay 6 feet apart and take other precautions they shouldn’t be there!

But it’s a hoax.

Let’s close all schools, and continue raising analphabets. That seems to be what the mainstream media are aiming for.

And we believe this?

Duh, kids are gross.

And children host more of the coronavirus than adults making them a greater risk as a vector of COVID19. While they may be more likely to be asymptomatic the adults in their circle will be at greater risk of exposure.

Everything should be ok if “masks work”, right?!

GOPCorruptionOverCountry GOPBetrayedAmerica

Stay no,e kids,, play on your xboxes , go twitter. , tik tok some more , read a good book, try the Comanche moon , or some classics like 1984, East of Eden ! Just read!

They're learning new things ab the novel coronavirus everyday. Why chance it? If 1 kid/teacher dies, it's too many. Plus, schls took no real precautions. The public school system is FUBAR & the US is not interested in funding safeguards for kids. That's the real story. epicfail

But Donkey says they are immune? He's not lying is he?

Not a single kid aged 0-17 in my county (Orange County, CA) has ever died from COVID-19. Ever. Not a single one. Ever... Kids have a higher chance of dying from a lightning strike in all honesty. Sorry, don't mind me... you have a narrative to promote!

Good!!!!! THAT'S GOOD NEWS. And guess what...they'll get over it...and do it much more quickly, ..WITHOUT the dumb masks. Kids NEED germs. Let our kids be kids. Children need to play & interact, rub elbows, get runny noses... & chicken pox too! Germs are necessary. Fact.

”However, COVID-19-related hospitalizations and deaths in children are 'uncommon,' and severe illness is 'rare,' according to the AAP. Based on data from 43 states and New York City, children made up less than 1% of all COVID-19 deaths.”

Shocking

You didn't need Nostradamus to tell you this was going to happen🙄

Dumbest idea ever! Our State Bars & Taverns are closed and restaurant capacity is capped at 25% but schools are going in person. It’s true, smart people never get elected to political positions.

Need a fact check, tRUMP wants all schools to open and his son’s Closed?

Education is key but our children's health right now should be the number one issue right now in the middle of a pandemic 🙏🏾🙏🏾

just stop. , your monsters at this point. kids are not dying anywhere close to the rates of flu. if you even want to bring up georgia, please mention that,tragic, but he seized, fell in shower and was unresponsive. DOA and was “suspected covid”, before panic probing. so gross

But WH is filled with Anti-Science Radicalized-Right Conspiracists. Even worse are the closet believers like SenateGOP HouseGOP Milking jobs and benefits but knowing they are killing Americans, Cowards.

Masked children cause me to have a visceral response to this insanity. All I can think about are the long-term effects of fear and isolation.

Wasting everyone’s time and distracting kids form learning , great job. Oh and schools not dangerous to kids. So. Knock it off 👍🏻

No problem!

Check your facts!!!!!!!!

Really? That's not possible because a lot of 'experts' said that children where at a very low risk of contracting COVID. They said it was nearly impossible for a child to get it. There must be a mistake. Maybe they aren't children. (Sarcasm)

If the POTUS tells you to push ur kids of a cliff would you do it? Why are parents letting their kids back to school ?

Behind every children, teacher and staff, there is a family. covid-19 may not be a serious threat to children, but how about their families?WearAMask SocialDistancing

Open the schools.

More fear propaganda pathetic

Wow

Jesus take the wheel.
