I absolutely trust the AAP over the CDC on an issue like this. Nobody is 100%-free from political bias, but the Academy is an evidence-based, peer-staffed organization that is entrusted with setting standards for the care of American youth.
Biden will have to show a lot more than what he has so far. I will give you that. Thanks to Trump's declining popularity, he hasn't had to do much... and so he hasn't. It is odd that on a weekend when Trump sounded so incoherent during a high profile speech on July 4th, the attacks on Biden remained the same, while his own gaffe is basically ignored. I say this all the time... there is not one form of critical assessment which can be made about Biden, which can't also be applied to Trump:
Inarticulate and gaffe prone .... Check
Dirty old man .... Check (See what Trump's own niece said about him. Good lord.)
Sexual assault claim from many years ago .... Check
Very selective with interviews .... Check
I get it but can’t compare the US to what most European nations implemented
Speaking of higher standards working from both sides: Would any of your "obvious signs of progressing dementia" include saying gibberish such as this during a prepared speech?
"In the fields and jungles of Vietnam, they delivered a swift and swippian ... and you know that was sweeping. It was swift and it was sweeping, like nobody's ever seen anything happen." - President Donald Trump during a July 4th speech.
... or is it more likely that both candidates are aging men in their 70's, whose cognitive abilities are in steady decline,and you are choosing to hold Joe Biden to a much different standard than you are Donald Trump, because Trump is your preferred candidate of choice? My guess is that you would excuse Trump's gibberish as being the fault of a teleprompter, while if Joe Biden had said the exact same thing, you would immediately cite dementia as the reason behind it.
I doubt you are in any way qualified to make such an assessment... and like I said, if Biden had ever sounded the way Trump did on July 4th, you would use it as a sign of dementia. That is your agenda and it has nothing to do with concern for Biden. You simply don't want him to defeat Trump in the November election.If Joe were only getting tongue tangled during episodes of ridiculously stupid exaggerated enunciation, yes they would be very similar, but he’s not is he, he’s as lost as a goose in a snowstorm. Everybody gets tongue tangled at times, everybody, some more than others, and they all attempt to recover from it in various ways. There’s videos out there of Pelosi getting tongue tangled and it’s still not the end of the damn world.
Joe however is showing signs of dementia, but at least it doesn’t appear to be Alzheimer’s related so far, only age related.
Those of us that have had parents go through either dementia or dementia progressing to full blown Alzheimer’s know what we are seeing from Joe.
Honestly, the Dems are sanctioning elder abuse on a world stage in what they are doing to him, just because orange man bad.
Not true. Except in maybe one or two areas
Again, do your homework. They did a crappy job protecting the elderly/nursing homes. Children have fared well and school transmission has been very rare.Sweden has fared much worse than its neighbors and the US in terms of death rates. It is nearly 10x the death rate of its neighbors who imposed much stricter measures

in Denmark, nationwide case numbers continued to decline after day care centers and elementary schools opened on 15 April, and middle and high schools followed in May. In the Netherlands, new cases stayed flat and then dropped after elementary schools opened part-time on 11 May and high schools opened on 2 June. In Finland, Belgium, and Austria, too, officials say they found no evidence of increased spread of the novel coronavirus after schools reopened.
In a broader study of COVID-19 clusters worldwide, epidemiologist Gwen Knight at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine and her colleagues collected data before most school closings took effect. If schools were a major driver of viral spread, she says, “We would have expected to find more clusters linked to schools. That’s not what we found.”
I quoted the part actually referencing real-world experience. Did you read the other links I provided? Are you now more qualified than the AAP? Have you also been directly caring for children exposed to and infected with CV19? Do you get the same daily updates that I do on all the Pediatric data nationwide?You either didn't read the whole article or you intentionally omitted critical details.
