What fearmongering? Most vaccines are mandatory already, unless she's referring to COVID vaccine which apprx 50% of Americans don't plan to take.

We need to teach our children To deal with life, and coach them through their worries so they can function independently as adults. I think much has to do with the energy and perspective of the adults. Be positive, Downplay the ‘negative’ . Shots hurt, but most give shots. Falling down off bikes hurts, but its worth the fun. BH they get to continue school for this small fee.Sometimes we put our kids through much worse for much less, depends on what we want in the end....just my opinion.

I don't want to be rude or nasty, but seriously? No offense, but how can someone even say that with a straight face, unless that someone literally have no insight how the world outside of their daled amos is functioning.
Are you aware of what's been going on in the hospitals since this all began? How the hospitals first shut down to any non-emergency, how they locked down to any outside visitors or support persons, how they test every single patient coming in through their door, how they handle those patients until they have their results?
A bit has changed since then. They do let in visitors, they have resumed elective surgeries, but everyone is screened and tested - visitors, staff and patients. All hospitals are functioning with strict protocols in place.
Perhaps you meant test 20% of people in a workplace?
(and I apologize if I offended you.)

I am not saying they should or shouldn’t test in schools, but currently it is our reality, and we should teach kids to deal with the curveballs that life throws at us. And if I have to choose 20% testing or no school I pick testing.
And no maybe there is no data that proves testing slows the spread, Although scientifically if you know about viruses it makes sense. But Science has not caught up to Hashem’s knowledge yet, so maybe they are wrong. But also there is no proof if the opposite either... that test spreads the virus or doesn’t slow the spread. Basically you are right, we don’t know, its our best guess IMO.
From my understanding hospitals test 100% Patients and workers . My relative just broke her arm in 3 places. She had to get it set in the emergency room and waited hours in pain for her test results before she could be admitted.
