Unbelievable! The chance of dying of COVID for kids of this age (they look about 9-11 years old) is almost zero.
According to the CDC published COVID fatality stats in the entire US, there have been 15 deaths of children in the age range of 0-4, and 31 deaths in the age range of 5-14.

According to Stanford, more than 100 kids (all ages) die each year from bicycle accidents.

So we shut down all the schools, screw up the kids' and their parents' lives, and train them to be easily controlled robots (sheep), so that they can avoid a risk that is 3X less dangerous than riding their bicycle. Maybe we should quarantine all bicycles until a new bicycle design is made that prevents children from ever dying from a bicycle accident?
I don't want to act like COVID is a non-event, but we have to put this risk into proper perspective with all the other risks we entertain every day without ever thinking about it. That is the objective, rational, SCIENTIFIC way of evaluating things.
