Awfully kind of them to let the school districts choose not to kill their children.

If they have boxes full of spare teachers in stock, they could give it a try.
Over here we waited with reopening schools until the number of new infections was very low again.

Orange County has always been ultra conservative, it's long been populated by the John Birch Society John Birch Society - Wikipedia). So I'm not surprised that they're a bunch of COVIDIOTS very willing to kill off anyone so that they can continue living their life styles as the rich and famous.

Teachers are already getting sick and dying, and the fall school year hasn't even started. Some more cases like this and parents will panic.

My concern is, not enough of them will, and those who don't continue to claim it's all a conspiracy.

Teachers are already getting sick and dying, and the fall school year hasn't even started. Some more cases like this and parents will panic.

I'm not sure ALL parents actually care if teachers get sick and die. Certainly enough of our population bears striking resemblance to sociopaths. In the end, demanding that the schools re-open, and according to Cruella DeVos, they're on their own as far as taking security measures while she moved coronavirus relief money to private and charter schools, it might well end up costing us a huge price in teachers, ,particularly older, experienced ones.

Certainly a large amount of people have felt like essential workers, hospital workers and others forced to deal with both the sick and the general public are expendable as they demand to walk about with no masks and congregate in crowded businesses with no concern for the workers waiting upon them, the people making sure our grocery stores have food finally those tasked with caring for the ill.

A Teenager Didn’t Do Her Online Schoolwork. So a Judge Sent Her to Juvenile Detention.

A 15-year-old in Michigan was incarcerated during the coronavirus pandemic after a judge ruled that not completing her schoolwork violated her probation. “It just doesn’t make any sense,” said the girl’s mother.

There's a large number of people here where I am who honestly believe the Covid pandemic is all a Democrat-contrived hoax meant to control people and make Trump look bad. They all believe it will all "magically go away on November 3rd."

Palm Beach County’s health department director, Dr. Alina Alonso, warned county commissioners Tuesday about the potential long-term health consequences for children who catch COVID-19. She said the virus could cause lifelong damage even for children with mild illnesses.

Coronavirus hospital data will now be sent to Trump administration instead of CDC

Hospital data on coronavirus patients will now be rerouted to the Trump administration instead of first being sent to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Department of Health and Human Services confirmed to CNN on Tuesday.

www.cnn.com

The move could make data less transparent to the public at a time when the administration is downplaying the spread of the pandemic, and threatens to undermine public confidence that medical data is being presented free of political interference.
