Top Norwegian Doctor: Pandemic school closures were “not necessary” and “probably should not have been done”

"Oster is the one who has largely been vindicated...subsequent data indicates she did not go far enough in describing the age skew of Covid. Today, an accurate version of her headline might be: Your Unvaccinated Kid Is Much Safer Than a Vaccinated Grandma"

My son is playing his band concert outside wearing a medical mask with a hole cut in it.
I'm not a scientist, can someone please explain this to me?

Breakthrough Infections Twice as Likely to Be Asymptomatic - remember, asymptomatic breakthrough with low viral load is a vaccine success & likely just stimulated your B cells to produce more antibodies (against delta)

Glad reporters on the other coast are starting to realize what we're up against here in CA
"Our kids didn’t lose anything."
Real doozy of an interview with the head of LA's teachers union

Our public health experts are clear – it is safe and necessary for our kids to be back in the classroom. With safety precautions in place, we can and should have all grades at full capacity when the school year begins in August.

No big deal we're just treating children like lepers who have to be kept out of society. This couldn't possibly have long ranging consequences.
The @MetOpera banned children from their performances.
Speechless doesn't begin to cover this development.

Here is the MMWR report the CDC was referring to. Main lessons
1) CDC recommended masking indoors for vax'd this week because delta has higher viral loads making mild breakthroughs more common.
2) CDC is not concluding that a vax'd person is as infectious

If you listen to the news or half the folks on Twitter, you might think childhood hospitalizations for Covid are increasing at a rapid clip. Luckily we have actual data from the CDC. There’s still a lot we don’t know, but for now, I hope parents can rest a bit easier.

Delta is not an excuse to not open schools.
Let me be clear: if public school closure continues you will have damage so deep---wealth inequality and disparities so massive, that democracy itself will be threatened in <10 years.
Listen to people who study tradeoffs.

Public school enrollment dipped across the board last year, according to federal data, and the youngest grades saw the largest changes.
Kindergarten enrollment fell 9%, and pre-K enrollment fell 22%.

This is irresponsible messaging. Schools take several measures to mitigate spread - we have no idea what kids are doing during the summer, who they're hanging out with.
There are mountains of data from last year telling us schools are far safer than the wider community.

COVID deaths in CA at their lowest (left) since the start of the pandemic despite the⬆️ in cases starting 4 weeks ago. This is what adult vax & immunity do.
I've been showing this to my scared patients today. Why are we not celebrating this? What's the endgame again?

Great piece by @MonicaGandhi9 “Unvaccinated individuals in the United States remain at risk. But we should not let imprecise and inflated case numbers among the vaccinated shape public policy.”

In finding Swedish child seroprevalence yesterday, I spent some time on their Public Health site and—WOW—what a breath of fresh air. They actually tell …the truth… instead of fomenting panic. Let’s take a look at some highlights & compare to USA

"Given that California ranks 50th out of 50 states in resumption of in-person learning during the pandemic, we believe that California should... focus on the public health impact of school closures at this time, even in light of the delta variant."

One of the most sobering pieces on the many harms to kids produced by prolonged school closures. PLEASE READ/SHARE.
A few points: After Katrina, kids who missed 5 wks of school were set back 2 YEARS from their unaffected peers
3 million kids have gone MIA, dropout rate will surge
Generation Covid: Educational losses have been greater than many realize. Black and Hispanic students — whose schools were less likely to reopen for in-person instruction — missed six to 12 months of learning, according to @McKinsey. 3/10 khn.org/news/article/covid-p…

We absolutely need accountability - so that we never again respond to a public health crisis by putting kids' needs last.
Great column by @joemmathews
All over California, you can see state officials, school districts, unions, parents, and employee groups trying to move on from our pandemic educational catastrophe, rather than reckon with it. We need accountability. zocalopublicsquare.org/categ…
