Should schools be reopened? Data shows children least vulnerable to Covid

Even though data shows that children are least vulnerable to Covid-19, some are still skeptic about bringing them back to the classroom.

The debate is contentious. Advocates of in-person learning support the idea of bringing children back to the classroom. Others remain skeptic, given how the pandemic continues to blow hot and cold across the world. Reports from the US seem to indicate that the unvaccinated groups -- children included -- are more vulnerable to the highly infectious Delta variant. Data from the American Academy of Pediatrics show that between July 15-22 this year, some 38,654 child Covid-19 cases were reported in the United States.
