‘Long COVID’ is keeping kids out of school, Merced doctor warns
“If we start to punish children and parents who are chronically absent and there’s an underlying undiagnosed #LongCovid illness, then that defeats the purpose,” Roussos said. “We really need to focus on the cause of chronic absenteeism.”

SARS-CoV-2 testing strategies for a safe (post-)pandemic implementation of school music trips and their impact on participants' health - PubMed
Both testing concepts effectively identified positive "SARS-CoV-2 cases in advance and prevented transmissions, enabling safe school music trips during the winter. The use of PoC-PCR may be superior in terms of time efficiency and flexibility. Despite the increase in the perceived fear of infection among children, the overall experience of the journey was positive.

And no one could tell you why.

“One million kids in the US likely developed long covid in 2024. This news comes after virus minimisers were platformed across the media from 2021 claiming that kids had nothing to fear from covid. That parents shouldn’t worry about sending them back to school. That they shouldn’t worry at all about children suffering ill-effects from the virus. Only the weak and the old need fear covid, we were told. Kids, with their strongly developing immune systems, will just absorb the virus, get the antibodies and become immune. That was never true.”

“‘Immunity debt’ provided a simple, easy-to-grasp explanation that was repeated over and over by media, scientists and physicians alike, until it took hold in the population. This is how dis/misinformation spreads. Anyone who pointed out that’s not how the immune system works was drowned out by this loud chorus. To this day, the purely made up and misleading concept of ‘immunity debt’ stubbornly endures.”
