Reply to comment by AhbabaOooMaoMao in Darien residents deserve better than they are getting from the Republican Board of Selectman and Republican Board of Ed. Tone dead, backwards and insular. They oppose POW/MIA and Pride flags, 16 Norwalk kindergartners but can afford a $103 million private island. by senatorduff

Recycling is already mandatory. It's now just another tax on consumption.

Everyone should be free to live as they wish. I'm just opposed to forcing people using state power.

All viruses mutate, as we know from the 1919 flu. Right now there are a lot more RSV cases sending kids to hospitals because they were kept isolated. Unless you're going to go hide in the wilderness there's no getting away from respiratory infections.

Kids were never at risk. Something like 60% of kids never showed symptoms after contracting it (as opposed to 35-40% overall). As a respiratory virus, everyone was going to be exposed eventually. Numbers out of the UK earlier in the year showed well over 90% of those under 18 with antibodies.
CT laws prohibits any school districts funding to be less than the previous year. If you actually look at school funding, the annual increases in spending far exceed the inflation rate by about 3x over the last 50 years. Any failures in school improvements aren't due to lack of funds. Go look at the towns in Fairfield county that are majority R, you'll see high spending per student.
If you want fewer children to die you could simply ban all motor vehicles. About 600 kids under 13 die in motor vehicle accidents compared to less than 50 firearm murders of all types.
Also... Not a republican.

Children are not only less likely to catch covid, they are less likely to spread it. How did so many countries in Europe keep their schools open without becoming charnel houses? Simple, there was never much risk

We knew in February of 2020 as statistics came out of Spain & Italy that it was primarily affecting the elderly.

Kids were never at risk of dying. 80% of deaths were people over 65.
You don't get learning time back. A child's brain plasticity only lasts so long.

The scanners only read the bar codes which have the same info printed on the id. There's nothing secret or secure about them so any decent fake reads.
