It's KIDS!!!!!
Ok. We got together, drinks, appies, and determined to solve the worlds problems.
Naturally, Covid came up.
Our conclusion: Kids are the petri-dishes..
They are carriers, asymptomatic, strong immune systems. Covid is spread by kids.
Yes Regis, that is our final answer.......

Easy to say, isn't it? But I have a colleague in her 40s who came to work immediately after her husband returned from the states and while spending time with him; who has been spending time with friends without social distancing, and who has had her daughter's friends over to hang out. I'm doing my best to stay away from her.
Meanwhile, I have 13-year-old students who are respecting social distancing guidelines at significant cost to their mental health.

"IT'S KIDS!" says the boomer generation guy that got together for drinks and appies.  Anytime I have to go to the store, or anywhere else for that matter, it's the 60ish to 70ish year olds that are the worst for not keeping distance or respecting guidelines.

I was wondering if you'd gotten around to cracking those bottles. Glad to hear the ladies enjoyed them.
And if it's kids that spread the virus, I should be ok. I've been practicing sitting on my front porch yelling 'get off my lawn!!'.....

I don’t know according to my son/daughter most kids are cry babies with hurt feelings theses days  .
Start taking emotions out of decision do what will achieve best overall results then sit back and watch all cry
Real life is harsh and as a society we have become way too soft

When they are under 5years old there is hope but after that schools and parents have removed most of there spines
It’s funny the kids my son made friends with because they are not cry babies I meet the parents and it’s clear why their kids are not cry babies

I know you’re joking a little but the first 5 or 6 years of her career my wife was teaching grade 1 was the sickest either of us have ever been. Kids that age are germ fountains.
