FIFY. School starts here next month and kids are going back. They just have to wear a mask and classes are smaller. This will end when either a vaccine comes or they come up with better treatment options. Neither of which exists right now.
Actually no. Covid 19, a global pandemic that has killed 767,000 people and negatively impacted the health of millions is the cause of those things.
Isn’t that the same as any article that gets posted here where you claim it’s media fear mongering?
CDC: One quarter of young adults contemplated suicide during pandemic
The toll is falling heaviest on young adults, caregivers, essential workers and minorities.money.yahoo.com

Baseless. It’s baseless. The cdc put out a 9 page paper on it. Yahoo reported on that paper. It’s baseless though.
And making kids watch videos and do busy work because their teacher is suddenly out and there aren’t enough substitutes is a great way to show you’re not afraid.
You are literally describing virtual learning.
Teen suicide has always been an issue. 25% seems really ominous, but if you look at history 29% of high school students said they considered suicide in 1991 and it’s moved between that high down to around 17% more recently. When you look at it that way you realize it’s not all Covid related. There’s also a great deal of stress from Covid itself not just lockdowns. Were there no suicides in Montana where they had no lockdowns?
I’m not saying virtual learning is good or great. I don’t like it. I don’t like lockdowns as an idea. But unlike you I’m not going to ignore the reality of what continuing on means and pretend it will magically take care of itself. Many schools are already overcrowded and lacking in sufficient substitute teachers. Ignoring that and just opening schools won’t make things any better, but you’ll get to shout about how you’re not afraid.
My point is you call other people out for fear mongering when they talk about CDC guidelines or other scientific studies that were reported on, but when you post something ominous it’s somehow not fear mongering?
I specifically mentioned São Paulo yesterday. It was the epicenter in Brazil in May and it is still the epicenter in August.
Because they don’t consider it fear mongering if they can use it to their advantage to push their agenda.
Ah yes, a study of ~5,400 people that somehow concluded 1,350 young people are representative of 25% of the population (of young people)CDC: One quarter of young adults contemplated suicide during pandemic

In reality nobody is really fear mongering. I was just pointing out a repeated hypocrisy here. I think there are some very valid physical health concerns related to Covid. There are also some very valid mental health concerns. I just don’t see how the physical health concerns should be no big deal but mental health is. I also don’t see how all mental health issues are only related to the lockdown. When kids are seeing death and sickness that’s also a strain on their mental state. There’s no way to know it’s all from lockdowns alone.

That’s one of the reasons the Big Ten cancelled their football season too. They had several players with similar issues.There's also Eduardo Rodriguez of the Boston Red Sox who won't be able to pitch this season because COVID-19 caused myocarditis. He's 27 years old and was initially cleared to return to the team on July 18 but then after a week they discovered the heart issue. His doctors told him 10-20% of COVID-19 patients are diagnosed with myocarditis.

I imagine these kids are going to have a greater chance of getting Covid not playing football this season than actually having the season and playing. Just my opinion though.
Its a possibility. I look at that the schools don't want to have to deal with that responsibility.I imagine these kids are going to have a greater chance of getting Covid not playing football this season than actually having the season and playing. Just my opinion though.
