Spain Discusses Releasing School Children from Corona Bondage

Finally, someone is thinking of the children instead of acting like the only lives that matter are those of 80-year-olds in nursing homes.

BBC:

Spanish children have been kept at home since 14 March, under strict measures to curb the spread of Covid-19.

Now Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez aims to relax the rule on 27 April so they can “get some fresh air”.

Barcelona Mayor Ada Colau, who has young children herself, this week pleaded with the government to allow children outside.

Spain has seen more than 20,000 deaths since the start of the pandemic and almost 200,000 reported cases.

In a televised briefing on Saturday evening, Mr Sánchez said Spain had left behind “the most extreme moments and contained the brutal onslaught of the pandemic”.

Why were healthy children ever locked down at all?

There is no universe in which this ever made any sense.

Even based on the initial statistics from Wuhan – and then in Italy – this virus almost exclusively caused problems for the very old.

As I’ve stated, I do not understand the particular nature of this hysteria, but it seems the purpose of the lockdown is to keep people from spreading the virus to the elderly, as people over 80 can potentially die from it. But wouldn’t it be easier, if that was your concern, to simply not let children visit grandma until summertime?

Why were children locked inside?

What is even going on?

All of this seems so surreal, like a dream.
