      @Dan children are too young to understand healthcare, or how the system works, these poor children know what they learn from the parents who teach them and help raise them to become better people. Kids know nothing about how the government works or about money, or education thats why they are children because they are learning. What child has come to you and has said "hey healthcare is bulls**t" they do not know. Kids grow and know how to play, and learn what parents and teachers teach them. These parents in this article are harassing these kids and nonstop teach them about how bad covid is instead maybe teach them that it will be ok, and help them learn and grow and at the same time stay positive and give them reason to be happy. I have 5 kids who i have to work 50 to 60 hours a week, teach them at home and still make them breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and at the same time i make some time to take them outside and play with them, or watch a movie or play video games. How about you grow up and stop trying to find a reason to why what i said is wrong and try to understand why i'm right.

    With my experience working in an emergency department for 10 years most of the time the issue is the parents. This has been an ongoing crisis. Entitlement is another big problem. Children are spoiled and anytime the parents take the cellphone or computer away the kid automatically goes to "im going to kill myself" then they come straight to the emergency department. Its a revolving door i see some kids everyother month. Some think its a game. The ones that truly need help break my heart. Majority treat it as a joke or bragging rights. Its disturbing

    I find with my kindergarten and 1st grade grandkids, keeping a normal as possible routine is helpful. Reassuring them things will one day get better helps. Board games, outdoor activities and just talking with them about normal life stuff are good stress relievers.

    Things are hitting a literal crisis point. I work in an emergency department that has its own pediatric wing with 12 emergency department beds and every day i work we have between 3 and 9 children in the emergency department for crisis. Its overwhelming the system. They can be in the ER for anywhere from 2 days to 4 weeks until they find placement in a psychiatric facility. Most get placement from the er some are admitted if they took an overdose and destroyed there liver from a tylenol od etc. Two days ago my hospital had a total of 45 patients both adult and pediatric that were crisis patients. Its burning out the staff. Every crisis patient has to have a 1:1 babysitting the patient 24/7. We are have alot of staff resigning because sitting and staring at a person for 12 hours is burning the staff out. Monday they had to use RNs to be a babysitter because they didn't have enough staff. Its dangerous pulling all the cnas off every unit for 1:1s when normally the cnas spend the most time with the regular patients so when a patient is acting off they will be the first to catch it. Something needs to happen. Rebuild all the mental hospitals and asylums.

    I know we all going through this pandemic together. It's not easy for nobody.
    However, there are some teachers who affected, and there's students who are affected.
    It's better to be safe than sorry.
    You want your children to go to school and get affected and home and effect everyone in the house and perhaps die from the virus?
    Than you be ready to sue the schools to get money, but, if you know better you will do better.
    They don't have a strong enough vaccine that's clinically approved yet, to save lives, and if they do they will have to show improve that, by evidence before any human being can be able to take it.
    I don't no vaccine is good yet in my opinion.
    I save eat right, your veggies, drink water, work out, wear your mask, pray or meditate, practice social distancing.
    Everybody will be fine God willing. Cause God can stop this.

    @ 4:30 This guy describes the anxiety of every kid that can't attend school, every person who has lost a job, people living with no digital access in rural areas with kids to educate on-line, and over 200,000 people across this nation who are mourning for lost loved ones. They are ALL sick at heart over current events in one way or another. Each and every one of them are being ignored to death by the current administration's complete failure to insist on even the most simple of protections against an aid-borne pandemic - a face-mask. The United States government did a MUCH better job of identifying and requiring the use of this simple protection from a deadly disease OVER A HUNDRED YEARS AGO!
    With millions of dollars funneled into politicians' pockets through the 2010 Citizens United decision which enables the ultra-rich to pack their piles of money into off-shored accounts to avoid taxation, the American People don't seem to have the full attention of our government these days. If you think this pandemic is bad, don't EVER think that things can't get much, much worse. Ask people "living" in Venezuela.

    The parents gave them anxiety and depression, do not fucking blame this on anything else.
