President Donald Trump tweeted last week that schools in "Germany, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, along with many other countries" were "open with no problems."
About 6 million U.S. children under the age of 18 have asthma, according to the CDC, and the agency notes that Black children suffer from asthma at more than double the rate of White children. The outbreak in the U.S., in contrast, continues to set daily new records as the Trump administration ramps up pressure on local officials to commit to reopening schools. The U.S. is suffering from the worst Covid-19 outbreak in the world with more than 3.3 million confirmed cases so far and at least 135,200 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.
Young people are much less likely than elderly individuals to become severely sick and die of Covid-19, though some children have died of the disease. Health officials also have warned of severe complications in children that appear to be associated with the virus as well as possible long-term health effects.
because their a bunch of fatties
hopefuloptimist Poor food = poor health. You get what you put in.
Blame this on Trump undoubtedly!
Gotta be careful, definitely no schools as of now, even if we isolate like we did in March and April, we wouldn’t be ready till mid October. Both with supplies and a well coordinated plan. We’re the leadership that’s left for them
How about the fact that we inject them with so many vaccinations before their immune systems are developed?
Now how in the world do they come up with these types of comments. Probably like the majority of the media do...just make comments on assumptions or hate!
Of course he said that
Geez people .... this kid is wearing a 'surgical mask' !! It doesn't stop Corona 19 !!!!!!!!! ONLY AN N95 OR KN95 will block Corona 19........ The others only have Theatrical/Poitical value re Corona Virus. 19.
Only liberal Democrats
Dr. Gottlieb is full of shit.
If only there was a program introduced by a FLOTUS years ago to improve school lunches... Oh well.
Because they are racists?
That's because they aren't healthy. When I was in grade school you had to pass the JFK initiative run/pushup/pullups. I say you 'had to'. No one ever failed it because there...were no fat kids. Looking at my grade school class photos...not a single fat kid. In fact through 12th.
Reading all the comments quick to sh!t on America, seriously ladies/gents read something other than nbc and fox, this is literally equivalent to TMZ now. Real News is now the rarest resource we have in a free society. TRUELY sad
I’m a democrat not a trump voter and this article doesn’t even tell you that children pretty much don’t get Covid. And they don’t spread it, I believe the number is .023% It hyper focus’s on pre-existing conditions that COULD make US children have complications. 🤦♂️
This is probably fake being that there aren't any classes in session rn
😂😂😂😂 more bs
Our lifestyles, diets, and general attitudes about health and wellness contribute to our vulnerability to Coronavirus Covid
If this isn’t the most ignorant tweet, stop spreading fear porn.
CNBC IS NOT A LEGITIMATE NEWS SOURCE
Diet, nutrition, exercise?
Fatter, less fit, probably lacking vitamin D and zinc.
Why? People need to ask this question and similar questions.
Is that because ours are more obese?
Cause we are soft.
Zzzzzzzzzzz
This is awful. We need to do better for our children. I think the food is a major issue.
Fat kids that can't hack it!
American Exceptionalism
Bullshit alert
Hmm. Well then why do US kids grow up to do so much better than the rest of the world? Lame ass story. hatersgonnahate
Because all these chubby American kids eat the worst diet in the world.
The land of excess and greed
American kids fat lol
Marco? Marco?
Too much fast food and video games...
Bet they are the most overweight and out of shape .....
U.S. students are fatter than kids in other countries.
Diabetes? Heart problems? General poor health
'Children in the U.S. are more likely than kids in other countries to have underlying conditions' Its cause we are all so fat. Thats it, thats the story. We chose body positivity over health and this is one of the many ramifications.
Probably because of all that agressive freedom they keep moronically demonstrating with reckless abandon.
Oh please. American kids are fatter than kids in other countries.
Generally fatter ?
MAGA
🤥🤥
Bullshit
