There is, practically, no risk for young kids:

Agreed but...

We were all told to wear masks.

Then we learned unless you have a N95 mask, the cheap masks are not going to prevent you from getting the virus. So now they're telling us all we must wear a mask to prevent the spread of the virus.

So I concluded a bunch of snotty nosed kids running around Walmart without a mask is one of the best ways to insure the rapid spread of the virus.

Whether the kids are at risk from dying from the virus didn't enter in my view.

So, for people under 65 fatality from CoViD is lower than from seasonal flu.

For people over 65, it’s heavily skewed towards the older ages, with fully 1/3 of total deaths occurring in the 85 and older group.

Could anyone please explain why we needed to shut down the country and the economy? And why we need to do it again?
