He steps on his dick every day that he doesn't tell people to wear masks, and wear one himself while in public. He pays for this with votes every day.
That’s right, Fauci told you, me, and anyone willing to listen on probably 5 different occasions he did everything they asked him to do.But if you don’t believe Fauci you wouldn’t be the first person so I understand the skepticism.
My wife and I made the decision over the weekend that we are going to home school our three kids this year. It wasn't an easy decision, we talked it through at length, we talked to our kids to get their input and wanted them to be part of the process.Some context to this, my job has been out of my home for the last seven years. My work has said don't expect to travel through end of Q1 2021. My wife has her degree in teaching (she is a counselor currently and teaches part time at a community college). All that said, her and I still have to do our regular jobs, and structure time with our kids to home school them. This will not be easy.The flip side is we don't think Covid is just going to go away magically. If there was some type of hybrid in school learning and e-learning, and then Covid hit our school, it'd be a see-saw. My kids and my wife wanted more structure this year. We can't control Covid, but we feel like we'll have control of their education. Also, my oldest son is high risk, and we've been trying hard to minimize his risk since this all started.None of this is going to be easy, ultimately it came down to us trying to maintain control where we can.
The CDC's guidance on schools is common sense. Schools that are trying to open have a seemingly impossible task in front of them.https://int.nyt.com/data/documenthelper/7072-school-reopening-packet/b70172f2cc13c9cf0e6a/optimized/full.pdf#page=1Guiding Principles to in MindThe more an individual interacts with others, and the longer that interaction, the higher the risk of COVID -19 spread. The risk of COVID -19 spread increases as follows:General Settings* Lowest Risk: Faculty and students engage in virtual-only learning options, activities, and events.* More Risk: Small in-person classes, activities, and events. Individuals remain spaced at least 6 feet apart and do not share objects ( e.g., hybrid virtual and in-person class structures or staggered/rotated scheduling to accommodate smaller class sizes).* Highest Risk: Full-sized in-person classes, activities, and events. Students are not spaced apart, share classroom materials or supplies, and mix between classes and activities.
Trump attacks his own CDC scientists over how to reopen schools safelyhttps://www.usatoday.com/story/news/investigations/2020/07/09/trump-attacks-cdc-scientists-over-covid-19-school-reopening-guidelines/5405407002/
Just curious, would the school allow you back mid-year if they went virtual again? Wondering how schools are handling those that don’t want in person, but would still join for online.
Oh man, who do we believe? Career public health professionals, or politicians? Whatever shall I do?
I had been trusting in the CDC, but now that Chuck Woolery has weighed in, I'm starting to have my doubts.
Lest we think it's only the rural conservatives who don't like science.While school districts across California are choosing remote learning to start the school year, the Orange County Board of Education is going a different route. On Monday night, the conservative-leaning board voted on its own guidelines for schools: a return to the old ways, before the coronavirus pandemic.https://www.ocregister.com/2020/07/13/oc-board-of-education-votes-to-support-return-to-school-without-social-distancing-masks/
Re school openings:"The science should not stand in the way of this.”https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1283842082646433792But hey, I was told here that trump "listens to the experts".
They never said what kind of experts.
True, I hadn't considered that he might have been referring to "ex-gameshow host experts" like Chuck Woolery.
Orange County is kook town. It's also home to one of the largest anti-vaxx populations in the US. At some point there will be horrible outbreaks of preventable diseases there.
The largest school district in NC, which also happens to be where I live and coach, decided yesterday to do only remote education for the fall semester.I was hoping we'd be far enough along to do at least some kind of hybrid system, but sadly our statistics have gone the wrong way ever since our economy was opened up some almost 2 months ago.I have no idea what this means for our basketball season, and I understand that's a minor concern right now.
