, a Republican, downplayed the risk for children who may contract the coronavirus from classrooms during school reopenings, insisting “they’re going to get over it.”Friday with radio host Marc Cox on KFTK. “They’re at the lowest risk possible. And if they do get COVID-19, which they will — and they will when they go to school — they’re not going to the hospitals. They’re not going to have to sit in doctor’s offices. They’re going to go home and they’re going to get over it.
His comments come during a nationwide debate over school reopenings as the pandemic continues to rage across the United States. Education professionals have also expressed worry they may be in harm's way.State Auditor Nicole Galloway, the state's Democratic candidate for governor, said Parson's comments on coronvirus and children displayed “stunning ignorance.”the virus"doesn’t stop with our children. The teachers, bus drivers, janitors, food service workers, parents, grandparents and neighbors who our children see every day are susceptible to this virus, too.
“These children could also come home and spread the virus to others in their household who could also be at a greater risk of a serious outcome,” he continued.
A conservative telling the people that the government knows what's best for their kids? 🤔
When are one of these big mouths going to get seriously ill from the virus and end this non- science nonsense.
According to Stanford University's disease prevention chairman, Dr. John Ioannidis, the COVID19 fatality rate for those under the age of 45 is 'almost zero,' & between the ages of 45 & 70, it's somewhere between 0.05% & 0.3% -- Dr. Mercola
If schools remain closed, then they better do Zoom for all the classes, because right now parents are doing all the work, so they should be getting all the money. Stop putting all the responsibility on parents who also have full-time jobs! BTW, USA Today = FakeNews
Which exactly didn’t happen from January through April when kids were going to school during the coronavirus.
Republicans are willing to kill our children just to make Dear Leader happy. They're not just traitors; they're murderers. GOP
This a..hole sounds just like your president!
Each family should make the best choice for themselves, in class vs remote.
Kids finished out the year doing at home studies via zoom in some places. It isn't just the kids, what about all the adults that will be around them, teachers, janitors, lunch staff, office staff etc. What plan do they have in place? People are still getting and dying from Covid.
Is it possible there are parents walking around believing this pandemic doesn't exist?
Asymptomatic vs. Symtomatic simply means the disease is there but the carrier does NOT show symptoms! Asymptomatic carriers can still spread this deadly Pandemic!
He looks like Ms. Graham, so I expect him to be a c**t!
It's a bizarre concern! What do Liberals think? That all the kids who aren't attending classes now, and haven't been attending classes in months, stay at home and sit on their hands? These arguments against opening society and moving on with life, are nothing more than TDS!
From 'Children are our future' to collateral damage and acceptable losses.
Is the governor a Dr. or scientist?
Other countries schools have been open and they are just fine
I bet some of those same teachers are going to dinner and shopping. Apparently not that concerned
Parsons is an idiot. He is going to kill as many people as deadbeat donald. He also says he will pardon the idiot lawyers if they are charged for carrying guns. I thoiught the idiot cannot pardon anybody until they are convicted.
I’m a republican. Live in Kansas. Fuck him. I don’t want my kids to be guinea pigs. Or bring it home to us or relatives. I get kids need school. For many reasons. Would he send his kids or grandkids to school now? GovParsonMO
Isn't the elections process great? It allows voters to root out the dumbest person in a state and elect them governor.
What parent wants to take advice on the health of their children and risks of going back to the classroom from self-serving politicians like this moron?
Ah hell just shut er’ down for a few years - Who needs teachers or school anyway 🤣🤣
Kids should not be around older family members period!
He would would be the guy loading the ovens in Buchenwald!!
Look stupid comes in lot's of colors Orange, White and Kanye
Yikes! Missouri elected THAT? 😳
What part of 'the kids will bring the virus home to their parents and many of them will die' is he not understanding? GovParsonMO, are you really this clueless? You do know children come home to their parents, right? They play, hug, and kiss them goodnight?
Uh... yeh.
I watched our district meeting in florida. All they really care about is getting the economy reopened.
Ya don’t say...
