So we KNEW the virus didn't spread from young to old by August of the next school year?  We KNEW it was safe before the first vaccines were produced and distributed early in 2021?
We knew those things?
Yes, "we" knew.

And now "we" also know that masks don't work, natural immunity is better than the vaccine, and states that locked down the longest are a bloody mess.

How many were at grade level before COVID?  With no context, this isn't really meaningful.
I just went and looked for data and the only sources that popped up were from CPS and the State. I'm not buying their garbage.

You're gonna have to do your own research on this one.

It's gonna be a feeble effort, because we all know how harmful this was to the kids.

There is a reason the AFT president (and many others) wants immunity.

For all the people who said they've never had covid, did they follow this up with a blood test that shows anti-bodies to covid?  Because they very well may have had covid with no symptoms.  

I think the best response is that they've never felt sick from covid or tested positive.  I tend to fall into the branch that most people who've never had covid probably did and just did not know it.

In the beginning, antibody testing was free. I had it done in May 2020, and it proved I had Covid in March 2020 as there was no covid testing available at that time.

Shortly thereafter the free antibody testing was stopped. I think we know why.

The test ranges from $50 to $150 depending on where you go.

That’s me. I have tested for it numerous times with negative results when I felt cold or flu like symptoms. But I have never checked for antibodies and would not be surprised if I had had it at some point but just didn’t know it

That's me too. It's why I'm careful to clarify that when I say that "I haven't had COVID", that it's because I have no evidence that I HAVE, but I very easily could have had asymptomatic COVID at some point and not known it. I could potentially take an antibody test, but I have no incentive to do that so why bother?

Evidence?
I don't have the evidence
was merely agreeing with you

Oh yes this, definitely.

That's why I said upthread that at this point, anyone who hasn't TRULY had it, and isn't living in complete isolation, must already have natural immunity to it.

Because every single person in an open, active, internally and externally mobile country like the USA, has been exposed to it by now.

there are at least 3 variants of covid

we keep talking about it like its one virus and it isnt

the latest one is much more mild then the original one

point being if you have never had covid stick around and one is coming to you

eventually

having had one of the variants may not keep you from catching a different variant later

You seem very tribal on this.  You looked for data and found some, but throw it out because....reasons.  
I'm not arguing against you that in-person learning is more effective than online learnng (for most kids), nor am I attempting to prove you or your link wrong.
But if zero kids are at grade level in those 53 schools now, but only 4 were at grade level in 2018, then that fact is no longer meaningful.
That's all.

I'll ask this again, until it gets answered.

just ask them
