quentinbradley on 03 Sep 20I think it is terrible that the family lost their child due to Covid, but then again this is only one out thousands of kids to actually die. Unfortunately people are going to die from this but I think it is best if we try to get back to normal as fast as we can.

hharker376 on 03 Sep 20It is scary how big this virus has become and how deadly it can be to anyone. I think we need to keep trying to stay safe and help others be safe and healthy too. Especially how it was a young child that passed due to Covid is scary.

jcollins438 on 03 Sep 20This is very horrible and I think for this reason a lot of schools are closing. It's hard to keep everyone safe when everyone is itching to get back to normal. We have to remember this is kinda real and even tho it stinks we have to try to keep everything normal.

jessicasolorio on 03 Sep 20I agree that its awful that a child passed due to the virus but I disagree when people say that they're just one of the many to come. Although unfortunately, it's true, we should use that as a reason to slow down the reopening of schools and other places. Our safety and health should always come before numbers on a chart.

stephanie2003 on 03 Sep 20This is the scary part about going back to school when there is a pandemic going on, you don't know what's going to happen, I think this is why most schools are closing and doing online because they want to keep everyone safe and still have them "in school".

kennalee04 on 03 Sep 20that is really sad, but this is a new situation for everyone and there are no previously written guidelines for how to handle it so in reality things like this are expected until we know how to fix the problems. it's all trial and error

makosa23 on 03 Sep 20This is so awful and terrifying. because we all going to school 2 or 3 in week and maybe someone have a Corona and when i think that, we all have to wear mask and we should do social distance until Corona is end.

ysolorio743 on 03 Sep 20The worst thing that could happen to anyone is to lose family, That can be the worst of the pains. Also I don't think it is right to say that is was one from many to come. This is sadly true, this is not near a good think honestly they should've waited more to re open schools. I would rather keep people safe and alive then get an education!

corynnehenson on 03 Sep 20This is probably the worst-case scenario as we begin going back to school here in Iowa. The fact that this happened to a child is beyond belief. It is so scary to go to school when you are not sure if you are truly safe. We have had up to four cases here at AL, and it is only growing which is probably the scariest part.

mavalos442 on 03 Sep 20I think it's terrible how a young child died from Covid, now his family has to mourn his death. Though there are many other cases just like this one of children dying from this virus yet schools around the country are being reopened ignoring these deaths. Not only that but opening schools could cause an impact on the spread of the virus.

jcooley186 on 14 Sep 20I really think that this is terrible, that this and a bunch of cases like this happening in multiple states all over the country. I believe we might have opened too early to really guarantee the safety of these children and kids in class. Of course, we want to go back to normal, but we can't if we don't try to distance ourselves and make an attempt to prevent it spreading. Just because it doesn't hurt YOU doesn't mean it won't hurt others.

haileyraymer on 14 Sep 20this is bad because a young student died. but there is a lot of children who haven't died this kid is the first young kid to die due to Covid. and even though this is terrible we have to think of the majority and not just go off of one kid that died.

jsachs097 on 14 Sep 20This is definitely scary and unthinkable, especially being so close to "home". There are a bunch of cases like these happening, which is sad. I honestly think we opened too early. With having online school available in Iowa now, I don't understand why we did not use that to our advantage to keep us all safe, and work from home.
