PHILADELPHIA – The Committee to Protect Medicare Monday called Pennsylvania House Speaker Mike Turzai’s recommendation to send children back to school amid the COVID-19 pandemic “reckless and dangerous.”
“Speaker Mike Turzai forgets that the public health impact of closing schools isn’t just to keep kids safe but to keep everyone safe, by preventing kids from bringing the virus home to their siblings, parents and elderly grandparents,” said Max Cooper, MD, an emergency physician and member of the Committee to Protect Medicare. “If Mr. Turzai had fully understood the medical concepts he felt comfortable enough to discuss, he would have realized that sending kids back to their classrooms during a pandemic that has killed more than 3,400 Pennsylvanians is reckless and dangerous. Instead of spreading misinformation, Mr. Turzai should be supporting robust social distancing measures and urging the Trump Administration to better protect the people of Pennsylvania with a coherent nationwide plan that can keep people safe from COVID-19.”
In a video recording, Turzai claimed children can develop “herd immunity” and are “not at risk unless they have an underlying medical issue.”
Epidemiology researchers say 70 percent or more of the U.S. population would need to be immune to COVID-19 to reach herd immunity. Without a vaccine, over 200 million Americans would have to get infected with the novel coronavirus before the nation reaches the 70-percent threshold. At the current pace of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States – with over 25,000 confirmed cases a day – herd immunity could be attained in 2021. If current daily death rates continue, more than half-a-million Americans would be dead from COVID-19 by that time.

Hi just thought i would tell you naklejki something.. This is twice now ive landed on your blog in the naklejki last 3 weeks searching for completely unrelated things. Spooky or what?
You made various nice points there. I did a search on the subject and found most people will have the same opinion with your blog.
You know, should you had one of all those tweet meme buttons it would make it a heck of a whole lot less complicated for us to share your posts on social web sites.
This is very fascinating, Youre a very professional blogger. Ive joined your rss feed and look ahead to in quest of more of your excellent post. Additionally, Ive shared your website in my social networks!

I used to have a website that I used to cover this, but it got spammed to death. You seem to be better at weeding out the spam than I did! Dont give up!
Youre so right. Im there with you. Your weblog is surely worth a read if anybody comes throughout it. Im lucky I did because now Ive acquired a whole new view of this. I didnt realise that this issue was so important and so universal. You certainly put it in perspective for me.
Stubbmled accross your blog and decided to have a very quick study, not what I usually do, but you have a great blog. Wonderful to see a site that isnt full of spam, and actually makes some sense. Awesome blog
