Dozens to be deliberately infected with coronavirus in UK ‘human challenge’ trials
Proponents of the trials say they can be run safely and help to identify effective vaccines, but others have questioned their value.

Two years is 40% of a kid's prime trick or treating yearsHonestly 2 years out of a life. The consequences of this illness can be harsh with life shortening consequences. It is sad but 2 years in 80/90 are little and we could maximize what those 2 years mean. We can't seem to think outside the box.

I'd just be happy to give my grandkids a hug and kiss.Two years is 40% of a kid's prime trick or treating yearsAt the very least the Premier and Mayor owe these kids a shit ton of candy.
It just rubs me the wrong way that anything fun is too risky and things that are definitely risky are considered essential. I've seen the elementary school curriculum for 20/21 school year first hand and it's a joke. They're learning a fraction of what they normally would in a standard school year while attending full time. High school students in Ontario are mixed in person and online to reduce the number of in class students. Why would they make high school more safe than elementary school? Because daycares are currently closed and high school students generally don't need the same level of supervision at home. We're packing thousands of kids into a closed air system with no safeguards so their parents can go back to work and that's okay, but trick or treating is taboo.

Sorry @raratt, how long has it been?I'd just be happy to give my grandkids a hug and kiss.
I've heard it said that the main difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits...
It will probably be easier for junior to deal with his life long cardiovascular problems knowing they are a consequence of his efforts to be educated rather than his efforts to play dress up and gorge on sugar...Two years is 40% of a kid's prime trick or treating yearsAt the very least the Premier and Mayor owe these kids a shit ton of candy.

damn man, sorry to hear that......my step kids use the test....they get tested first before they come out once pronounced negative they come out....course I haven't seen them in a while myself cause of the school openings and suchI've seen them a few times over the last few months, socially distanced. They haven't visited since this all started.
science.......believe it.Why is everyone so down on the thought kids being kids and enjoying themselves?
The psychological toll of covid is going to be huge when it's all over. I had a really hard time keeping myself composed when I had to visit my parents and talk to them through a glass door. It was so depressing and I'm not looking forward to doing that again. We were allowed to increase our bubble over the summer as cases dropped so I was spending a lot of time with my parents and my sister and niece. We did everything outdoors just incase. Now that the lockdown is back in place we're not visiting anyone or having anyone over. I think christmas is going to be a wash this year too.
It is unfortunate. It was only yesterday my wife announced that our house won't be decorating this year. I don't think anyone is down on the thought of kids having fun, I think most are just having a hard time with everything going and so the idea of door to door interaction seems like an unnecessary risk. The folks on our street in Mississauga have a Facebook page and my wife posted we will be closed this year for the first time in 18 years of setting this up. It was not an easy decision but with Ontario's top doctor warning against it yesterday I felt it was the final straw. I work in a 3 separate hospitals every day and the last think I want to do is expose anyone to this virus. At this point we have folks who used to come as kids bringing their kids, it is always a great time. Looking forward to it coming back next year.Why is everyone so down on the thought kids being kids and enjoying themselves?

RAW power demands conformance from ALL subjects.Why is everyone so down on the thought kids being kids and enjoying themselves?
I doubt any sane and compassionate person is against children's joy. But I'd rather have miserable children alive and healthy to vent to a psychologist for years to come. Then children dying or having a short life of misery with heart and lung transplants.Why is everyone so down on the thought kids being kids and enjoying themselves?

Even if the children were relatively okay, it's not worth possibly killing grandma or grandpa. The kids will be fine, these are first world white people problemsI doubt any sane and compassionate person is against children's joy.

Precisely, children are young and malleable. They don't know any difference.Even if the children were relatively okay, it's not worth possibly killing grandma or grandpa. The kids will be fine, these are first world white people problems![]()

I want my grand kids to enjoy themselves, I really do. Just want them to be safe and healthy. I also want to be able to see them running around in my front yard playing....not the other, heaven forbid not the other....Why is everyone so down on the thought kids being kids and enjoying themselves?
