Especially considering I can mask all the way in all public spaces, my kid will bring all the viruses from public schools all the same.

No it has not happened universally around the world, some countries only had the initial shutdown in April 2020 and then the schools were open again. See here https://covid19.uis.u…

Are you sure you are not self-selecting? Are those people represent a random set of homeschooled adults or just the ones who were successful despite it? Also, who is homeschooling …

While pericarditis and myocarditis are not immediately fatal/morbid, we should not just hand wave it away. I got all my vac+booster, but I was better off knowing that there are som…

Agree when we are talking about random people on the streets and fleeting encounters. But, for example, I would not go to an interview in sweatpants and flip-flops. There are also …
