They're gonna make sure we never have an appropriate response ever again.
Everyone is just going to be sick, all the time, forever, and people are going to forget that there was once a time when being sick was unusual.
but with more tears.
Yeah, we could have re-opened them safely with air filtration and n95 use. But it's cheaper just to say "fuck it" and get everyone sick.
You greatly overestimate the hygiene and discipline of children
It helps greatly if the community is also taking measures.
Right now, even with just with air filtration, studies estimate it cuts down the spread of disease by 20%.
That's why you put good filtration systems in the buildings full of infection generators
Yeah that's why you never get sick from planes
how did you tell it was the plane and not the airport?

I still remember when that fuck gave the all-clear to re-open everything and ban masks but if you wanted to interview him you needed to test negative three days in a row and wear an N95 outdoors.
Curious.

There wasn't even an appropriate response the first time
True.
Can't wait for mpox+bird flu to ravage the country while we're still forced to continue our lives like nothing is wrong.
If your responses is comprehensive then schools and everything should have been shut down for 6-12 weeks while people are tested and quarantined.

You've got to be fucking kidding me.
sorry parliamentarian says macroscopic ectoparasites on your children
I breezed by this post the first time because I just assumed it was a humorous followup post to the covid guidelines
Next they will suggest the children simply pick the bugs off of eachother and eat them. 
No, that would be communism. The kid should pick their own bugs off themself 
Can we talk about just how expensive lice are? A bottle of lice shampoo will easily set you back USD 40 and that is gone quickly if a kid catches lice and the entire family needs to be deloused.
That is a lot of money for a lot of families. And if just one kid doesn't get their lice treated it will keep reappearing again and again, causing discomfort, inconvenience and expenses for everyone.
$40? That's craaaazy. It's like £5 over here

Check out my kid's kindergarten class photo
sprinkle some lice on whoever is in charge of the CDC, see if they change their mind
Well they would just stay home. Going on about your day is for the poors.
No taking off work.

I was going to write "how long until an active school shooting is not an excuse to leave school early" but then I remembered the cat litter thing.
The burden of missing school days due to nits far outweighs the minimal risk of transmission, especially when the lice have been treated.
The real burden is a society that values productivity over people’s health.
Not sure what the problem is? It's never been policy in the UK to keep kids home from school over head lice, the shits are impossible to stop with the way kids are so it's simpler to just treat repeatedly and not disrupt? Are there any particular long term health risks?
They can cause bacterial infections, which is bad with an immunocompromised population that's on their 5th+ round of airborne aids.
