Fistocuffs,
I'm not sure what statistics you're referring to, but hockey kids are at close to no risk from covid unless they're obese (unlikely) or have other serious co-morbidities. Among adults, there are specific cohorts at risk. With two promising vaccines just around the corner, it makes no sense for anybody who's not at risk to be on any kind of lockdown. Let people at risk stay home if they want to until a vaccine is ready. Suicides, suicide attempts, and depression are surging among young people. At this point, I've read a disheartening number of stories about the catastrophic mental health issues that kids are suffering from now. What the frick is wrong with the grownups that they would do this to children??
I know exactly one person who died from/with covid. She was 87, and she outlived her daughter who died of cancer in her 60s. I know an older retired couple who both tested positive. One lost her sense of smell and taste, and then...got better. Her husband got sick at home, and then...got better.
Sacramento public schools can't open...but the private school where Newsom's kids go can stay open? Really??
Yes, people like freedom, as well they should. The problem is that we are locking down as if everybody is at the same risk. Save some kids' lives: speak out against this nonsense. And let kids play ice hockey...and soccer..and baseball...and roller hockey...and...and...we've lost our ability to reason, and kids are suffering as a result. That's the responsibility of every grownup who continues to panic instead of thinking rationally.
