But aren't the reading and math scores still abysmal?

It doesn't stop there. all green spaces in our local town are being built on pushing nature further and further to the outskirts, then teens get lambasted for hanging round the streets whilst also being told to get off the xbox at home. Can't win.
Post covid people should be encouraged to get out as much as possible, mental health is such a crisis right now and physical health and nature plays a part in that

People who buy their weed at the grocery store spend less time giving hand jobs behind taco bell. There we go

Would be amazing to have a 90 minute lunch so I could workout, shower, eat halfway through the day. I would be incredibly productive

u/WAPE since you are continuing to harass me with messages, then deleting and blocking me so I can’t respond, I’ll be posting my response here
“YALE MEDICINE” is a legit medical source, I have yet to see any evidence provided by you to the contrary
I’m flattered you remembered me after so many days since we last talked. However please try to act like an adult on Reddit, children typically are not worth responding to

As if the Democrats won't find this study (and the idea of physical activity) fatphobic first.

Until they became Christians and the gymnasium and fitness were seen as vain things. I believe that's what happened in Constantinople at least.

Yup, our kids are often better behaved in the summer, and I think it's largely because they're able to spend more time outside.

Schools began reducing gym time and fine arts time to trying to improve the all important math and reading scores. Opportunity cost for everything.

This is what innovation is these days. Lame. Another product. A smaller TV. Who even needs better resolution?
How about products that last? No more planned obsolescence. How about less plastic? How about less consumption in general?

Did I say anyone was lazy or lacking willpower? I believe there could be more education, better regulation of additives, better regulation of ag, etc. etc. etc. There are EU/European nations w high and growing rates of obesity despite having all the aforementioned healthcare access, regulation, etc. The UK, Poland, Spain, Malta, and Ireland all have over 25% obesity rates and are growing.
It is a multivariate issue that, at the end of the day, rest on personal choice of individuals. It's like voting for a racist; there are many factors that go into why someone would actively support a racist, but, at the end of the day, each citizen is personally responsible for the vote they have cast. At the end of the day, each person is responsible for the consumption choices they make. It's your body, your health, and your life.

Oh would you look at that? Regular exercise is good for kids
I wonder what marvelous news they'll have about staying hydrated or getting sleep

there's this little fact that has stuck with me:
A "Gym" (short for Gymnasium) in english refers to a place where you physically work out.
A Gymnasium in german is a school.
"Gymnasium" is latin and comes from the greek Gymnásion, which is a place where they did both: sports and learning (mostly sports though, and they did it naked for some reason).
I think the ancient greeks were already onto something there, physical and mental health/performance might be linked. Maybe that's what "Mens sana in corpore sano" (a healthy mind in a healthy body) refers to.
I think regular sports in school is important for more than just preventing obesity.

You think you could tell that to my kid's school who cancels half a year of outdoor recess for hunting season reasons and then makes sport out of canceling the rest for punishment?
They've really adopted a "beatings will continue until morale improves" approach with a bunch of 5-8yos who are going stir crazy now after 4 months trapped indoors and they keep taking away every recess that could be outside when we get randomly warm days.

The regulatory climate on food is drastically different in Europe vs. America. Access to quality healthcare is more prevalent in Europe. Additives and ingredients commonly used in American food manufacturing that are designed to make foods more addictive are banned in Europe. Portion sizes are smaller. The type and frequency of advertising by the food industry is more heavily regulated. The financial incentives and subsidies given to the food industry are also different.
There will always be some amount of the population that is overweight for a myriad of reasons, and I'm not saying that individual choice has no impact. However, pretending that 78% of the population is just lazy and lacking will power is not going to fix this issue.

Also for adults. I need my office to provide staff with a playground and monkey bars as well . Best productivity would be higher and people missing work due back pain and other health problems would reduce.
Adult life sucks.

The situation described in the article is very different from long haul covid. In long covid, the initial infection has passed, but its aftereffects linger. However, with long covid you aren't contagious and would almost certainly get a negative result on an antigen test.
In this situation, a severely immunocompromised patient simply can't fight off the initial infection. Where a healthy body ultimately overwhelms the virus, this patient can only kill it off partially, creating accelerated evolution since the viruses better at avoiding the weakened immune system survive. This patient could actively infect anyone at any moment (and there's a huge threat that new, dangerous strains of covid could come from a patient like this).
