Stanford Doctor Scott Atlas Says The Science Shows Kids Should Go Back To School

[Federalist] Former chief of neuroradiology at Stanford University Medical Center, Dr. Scott Atlas told Fox News there are "zero excuses" to keep children from returning to schools in the fall.

"There is virtually zero risk for children getting something serious or dying from this disease. Anyone who thinks schools should be closed is not talking about the children. It has nothing to do with the children’s risk," he said. "There’s no rational reason or science to say that children transmit the disease significantly."

Dr. Atlas pointed out that many American teachers are not in high-risk age groups and therefore, should not be concerned. He also noted that those who are nervous or high-risk can take extra precautions.

"It’s true that there are high-risk teachers and those teachers should be able to believe in their social distancing and masks. They can teach using social distancing. And if they still are afraid they can stay at home. There’s no reason to lock up the children," he said.

According to Dr. Atlas, closing down the schools and continuing online education would hinder children from a full learning experience that includes social interaction and hands-on teaching.

"Long distance learning is a failure," he said.

German study finds no evidence coronavirus spreads in schools

The study by the University hospital in Dresden analysed blood samples from almost 1,500 children aged between 14 and 18 and 500 teachers from 13 schools in Dresden and the districts of Bautzen and Görlitz in May and June.

The largest study conducted in Germany on schoolchildren and teachers included testing in schools where there were coronavirus outbreaks.

Of the almost 2,000 samples, only 12 had antibodies, said Reinhard Berner , a professor of paediatrics at the hospital, adding that the first results gave no evidence that schoolchildren played a role in spreading the virus particularly quickly.

in testimony to the Israeli parliament, Dr Udi Kliner, Sadetzki’s [the head of the nation’s public health service] deputy, reported that schools—not restaurants or gyms—turned out to be the country’s worst mega-infectors..
