9,000 children in Florida contracted the coronavirus within 2-weeks of schools reopening this month. It marks a significant spike in the infection pattern among children in the state. Thus far during this pandemic 60,000 kids in Florida have contracted the coronavirus.

Eight children in the state of Florida have died from coronavirus, which clearly and tragically illustrates kids are not immune. Children also need to observe medical and scientific guidelines on the virus, which must be taught to them by their parents.

As stated previously on the site, I was and am not in favor of schools reopening so soon during a pandemic, especially in nations that have the highest death toll and infection rates.

It is placing kids in harm's way, regarding a dangerous and deadly virus that does not discriminate (Coronavirus Infection Rate Skyrockets Among American Kids With The Reopening Of Schools As Previously Predicted On The Site).
