To the contrary of what? No peer reviewed study says Covid-19 is not transmitted in schools or playing sports. It may not be the “primary driver” in many instances when appropriate precautions are taken, but it is still spread through both activities, and the extent to which it is a danger varies tremendously among schools/clubs/sports based on the proactive measures they take, and the extent to which they can given limited funds, especially schools. Claiming we can all go back to school and sports as if everything is fine and everyone has the unlimited resources, knowledge and ability to adequately protect people and prevent further spread is just stupid. People like you are making ridiculous generalizations that everything is fine based on the wildly false assumption that that everyone has the resources and will take the steps needed to appropriately limit spread. We’ve got Grace Karen going around claiming masks don’t work, so everyone go back to school and don’t worry about wearing masks. We’ve got msk357 claiming it’s all a hoax and everyone is actually dying of heartburn, so you don’t need to worry about complying with precautions. We’ve got crush the anti-vaxxer doing his best to spread it to
to whomever he can and claiming god will save us, and then we’ve got desert hound hitting the bars until it’s time to pick up his kiddies from school to soccer practice.
There is plenty of support for the idea that risk of transmission can be mitigated IF everyone does what they should AND important (but often cost prohibitive) steps are taken. But the reality is that magats are stupid and will not do what they should, so the actual risks, especially in schools, are much higher than you think. In other words, you haven’t gotten to have nice things because you’re an idiot.
Hopefully the vaccine will protect people from trumpanzees like you.
