We cannot indefinitely implement totalitarian lockdowns based on the fact that something "might" happen. No joke, that is how dictatorships start.

- __blockcipher__ 6y agoYes, for example ushering in a new totalitarian age is much more likely than a (in children) very mild virus magically becoming super deadly. I really think you may not have ever read the literature on COVID-19 in children. We should be shouting at the rooftops that kids are safe (and btw transmit less than kids), instead here in California we’ve closed school for a year which will - in children - far surpass the harms of COVID-19 by orders of magnitude.
- croes 6y agoA mild virus? That's some kind of understatement. "Babies under 1 year old and children with certain underlying conditions may be more likely to have severe illness from COVID-19."
