School closures are a divisive issue but a new report says Aussie children are safe to return to classes. Here’s why.

Chief Medical Officer Brendan Murphy cited the report on Friday at a press conference with Prime Minister Scott Morrison, who stressed that schools were an exception to social distancing measures.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has repeatedly stressed that teachers face a greater risk in the staffroom than the classroom.Mr Morrison has repeatedly stressed that teachers face a greater risk in the staffroom than the classroom. “The 1.5m in classrooms and the four square metre rule is not a requirement of the expert medical advice in classrooms, and their families can feel safe in going back to work, and to ensure that there are important principles in place.

“We are not seeing evidence of significant transmission amongst children in schools. And the data is increasing in this space,” he said.

My daughter brought home chickenpox from school. I got the virus at the age of 50 my body shut down I ended up in a coma for 2 weeks my wife was told she might have to make funeral arrangements. So please explain to me why children going to school are safe from the coronavirus.

Its so infectious it can take off really quickly! If waiting in line or in contact more than 15 minutes closer than 1.5mtrs,that’s how virus can catch you. If you’re a kid sitting in a class close enough to get headlice for 6 hours, that’s how virus is safe and won’t catch you.🤦‍♀️

Random sample error is a thing. With a sample of 9 kids you're asking for inconsistent data, scale 9 children to all the children at school in Aus is insane and this is definitively a report with a clear bias and agenda. Critical thinking reading a bogus news title

Only a small no. of children contract COVID? So there's no risk How can they know that definitively? There are more than 700 kids in my childrens school. 30 kids a class. The risk seems pretty high to me.

More flu to spread .. Australia is slowly transcending into winter season

Nope.

In practice, school children wipe their snotty noses with their hands and then touch everything. Other children touch the same things and pick up the virus and bring it home where they pass it on to their parents, siblings and grandparents. This starts the whole cycle over again.

Awful reporting, pushing IPA agenda. It is not a peer reviewed article. So, it’s basically worthless. Sacrificing us plebs didn’t work, so now they want us to sacrifice our pleb kids. FuckTheEconomy PeopleFirst

Have a read.

Yet kids cannot go to the playground, catch up with their friends, go to skate parks or gardeners because the CMO said it was too damn dangerous. But locked in a confined classroom, shoulder to shoulder is completely safe. Non Peer Reviewed for a reason I believe.

Social distancing rules for adults are required OUTSIDE, but NOT INSIDE SCHOOLS Q: WHY RISK EXPOSURE TO SCHOOLS IS DETERMINED by a NON-PEER-REVIEWED study of 18 cases (9 Students + 9 Teachers across 15 Schools) and their 863 tested connections between March & APRIL 21?

are ScottMorrisonMP kids going to school?

Children haven't been at school for 3 weeks (2 weeks holiday + 4 pupil free days to Good Friday), and the 2 weeks prior, classes were halved by parents opting not to send their children to school. Non-peer reviewed and reaches inconclusive conclusion because the data is absent.

What a load of BS! It will travel through a high school quickly and we will have second wave. The government have accepted that’s it better to let kids to school and let adults become sick or die.

So what about all the grandparents that have to pick up the kids while parents are at work

A non peer-reviewed Study using 18 cases, only one in secondary school, during school holidays and reduced students actually school before that, and we are using that to send 10s of 1000s of teachers and kids back to their cramped workspaces? What type of science is that?

The might be fine. But, what about their grandparents? What about their parents? Are they going to be ok?

I’ll say again students have been on holidays for 2 weeks in NSW and probably the majority at home for the last 4. So how can the report be accurate from March to mid April 🤷‍♀️

Spanish children have not left their houses for 7 weeks! So strange to hear all the conflicting science!

How limited it is? The life of each individual student and teacher must be counted. History repeats many times: once a crisis lost control, those experts ran away and disappeared. Who will suffer?

It’s been limited because schools have been online or on holidays for weeks now in an effort to keep people safe...

A new report and every other report/study before it supports schools back.

Believe the science and experts has bitten a few in the arse lately. Cognitive dissonance is real.

What about the adults walking in and out of the schools? Can parents transmit it to teachers? Or teachers to parents?

How about high school teenagers? They will spread the virus widely in communities. The report is propaganda, makes no sense. Covid_19australia COVID19Aus education

The People have spoken.
