Velt News BIG STEP: A million Israeli children head back to school, Kids less likely to contract or pass on virus


Excerpts:
"After a long 7 week ‘lockdown,’ millions if Israeli’s will head back to school Today."
"The decision was made last minute by the health ministry, Times of Israel reports, adding  ‘An Israeli study underpinning the decision found that though younger children were less likely than adults to contract the virus or pass it along, there was still a possibility they could infect others.’"
------------------
Here’s the key phrase, “decision was made last minute”. So one minute we can’t be near each other less the sky fall and the next there’s no problem. Just hop when we order you to, just like in the military.

For seven weeks the kids learn how to not be in school and then suddenly without warning, without a period to adjust mentally, we are off to school, even as the rules of engagement there are still uncommunicated.  And kids are scared. Didn't we tell them that there is
horrible danger lurking out there. Didn't we tell them that anybody who goes to a minyan is a rodef? Didn’t the government and press tell us over and over again how horrible the Charedim are for not following the rules? Weren’t there raids on Charedi classrooms in Beit Shemesh at the end of last week! Didn't we tell the kids they can't walk 100 meters from the house. Two days ago I watched a bar mitzvah online because it is far too dangerous for the family to gather 20 people in a huge room or even outdoors. But it's off to the classroom kids. Don't be scared now.
This entire culture is built on militarism. The military trains each young person in the prime of youth to be a military commander when dealing with other human beings. Just order them around. Don't worry about the effects of that.
