EXCERPT:
BUCKNER: "I think you made great points in your monologue that I'll echo. You know, back a year ago, when the disease was just getting started and we didn’t have a vaccine, we didn’t know how it impacted all age groups, we didn’t really know how to treat it, I think a shutdown, a short shutdown probably made a lot of sense, but now, after a year, we’re losing more kids to mental health crisis, suicides, than we are Covid in their age group. In Cook County, where I live, according to the medical examiner, 38 kids 18 and under have died by suicide in the last year. There have only been five Covid deaths. I don’t have all the answers for Covid, it’s complex, but I think people who — like kids who are young and healthy, they are not living in a multigenerational household, should be able to choose what they want to do at this point. The health system is not overwhelmed.”
