No he is not. Sending kids back to school is the last thing we should do. Dropped the vid right there.
Send workers back so we can afford to treat and hopefully eventually cure this plague. School kids are the biggest infection vector. Parent your children for a while, for once.
In fact it is kids who should be sent to Corona "Summer" Camps to get properly infected and get them back with their parents when they test inmune. Win-Win.
We could have had all of them already inmune if we had do that as soon as the lockdowns started.
... this is a bad idea until long term effects of the virus are fully known. In fact, there are no known clinical studies that a bout of Covid-19 even gives immunity to Sars--Cov-2, that I'm aware of, at this point immunity or "herd immunity" is just a nice politicly-expeditent hypothesis.
If this is a "designer virus" with some special traits bestowed upon weapons-grade constructions, sending kids to summer camp to bathe in the bioweapon virus is akin to genocide, of your own kind. Long term effects could include, HIV-like symptoms compromised immune systems, weakened respiratory and heart systems (pulmonary/cardiac), blood disorders, brain function impediments and infertility are outcomes I have come across in the literature associated with ACE2-carrying cells in human organs.
This is dangerous thinking considering it to be like a turbo-charged cold/flu. It is nothing like that at all. NORAD command DO NOT lock themselves underneath Cheyenne mountain for a turbo-charged flu. Use your fucking common sense you idiots, why would you send your kids out to "get it" when the US Army is locking themselves away?
You had a way better argument when you talked about possible (yet not probable) long term effects than when you started talking about the reasons the NORAD command would lock themselves. Reasons for that:
1) They are not kids 0-9 years old... I hope. Most probably most of them are way more than 20 years old.
2) They are surely an absolutely critical service and as such they need to keep operating without the less possible disturbances... and an uncontrolled virus spread between them would surely be a big one.
3) The whole world is in a critical state, something that could be used to take advantage by some enemy no matter if, officially, they are at DEFCON 5.
That being said, and once the argument about NORAD has been proven to be irrelevant in this case, I will come back to the kids problem: Most if not all of them will be infected anyways as soon as you reopen physical schools. Or maybe your plan is to never do that until we have a vaccine and have also studied its long term effects? Years?
Also, and while I am NOT a Pharmacist, the main reason ACE-2 binding viruses (mostly coronaviruses AFAIK) do affect lungs and heart is because that's where most of those proteins are present in the human body, and also because it would usually have the effect of an ACE "spike" due to the relative ACE/ACE-2 unbalance caused by the spread of the virus.
Another reason is because many people that do already have a weak cardiovascular/respiratory system are taking ACE inhibitors (anti-hypertension) as part of their treatment which, coincidentally, makes for a higher amount of ACE-2 proteins available to bind to -> Weaker cardiovascular/respiratory system + higher probability of infection + higher speed of reproduction once infected = BOOM!.
So you are somewhat confusing cause and effect here... even though, in practical terms, the effect would be greatly influenced by the cause.
Yeah, you are citing organs where ACE-2 proteins are most present, but once the viral load has been reduced/eliminated and only antibodies are present and no damage has been done to those organs (which basically is what being asymptomatic means) no further damage should be reasonably expected to those organs UNLESS there is a relapse of the infection.
I can't positively say that after being "cured" there is not a possibility for a relapse or for reinfection... but I am making an educated guess here that we should have probably already noticed that... more so when there have not been any single critical case of some child (0-9 without any comorbidity) dying from coronavirus yet.
