Partisanship is funny
Exactly. We have three months left of getting Biden’s every word dissected while trump says dumb stuff everyday and it’s crickets.

Well according to the CDC director, virus will be contained in 4-8 weeks if everyone wears a mask in public and social distances.
So let’s give that a shot and see if it’s accurate.

posted by Al BundyThe reality is that most people want to use the school as a babysitting service instead of being good parents.
This is the most untrue generalization I've seen on here in awhile.
The comparison for schools shouldn't be prisons and nursing homes. It should be other schools in countries that have either resumed classes or never stopped them. Infection rates from those show that with proper practices, schools can absolutely operate safely.
The reality is that most parents want their kids learning, socializing and getting the structure they desperately need.

Teachers don't have to have nearly the same risk. Even the cashier has more exposure. People under 18 have been shown not be good transmitters.....and most teachers can teach with at least 10 feet of social distance.
That finding was retracked. Teachers have a much greater risk. The cashier is done with that person in a couple of minutes. If the teacher is teaching young kids, there is no way that they could stay 10 feet. Every class has a kid who can't open their crayons, tie their shoes, or open their juice box. If the teacher works with older kids, they probably have approximately 150 kids (6 classes x 25) to deal with. Can a math teacher honestly help a student from 10 feet away without pulling out his binoculars to see the paper? When a teacher gives a test, how are the tests sanitized to pass out and collect? If someone tests positive, does everyone who came into contact with that person have to 14 day quarantine? Those are only a handful of the questions that don't have good answers at this time. While distance ed isn't a perfect solution, it is the logical solution when you weigh risk vs. reward.

Every indicator of these positive tests dont add up to anything.
I doubt governors and mayors are purposefully shutting down their own economies to make sure Donald Trump does not get reelected. That is some wild shit there man.

Trump and DeVoss say schools must be open. Your thoughts?

Violating a stay at home order to protest because you're mad you can't get a haircut and eat at Applebees = good.
Protesting the death of a black man at the hands of police 30 minutes before curfew even starts = bad.
Got it.

Today I saw a high schooler get expelled and a freshman applicant to my alma mater get rescinded. These kids need to learn to stay the F off social media with their opinions. Stuff didn’t really exist when I was going into college but man, keep your shitty opinions off a public forum. Same goes with professionals, there is always someone who is willing to pass it on. No one cares, that’s what Serious Business is for.

Good to see the President used federal resources to disperse a peaceful crowd with teargas and rubber bullets so he can take a fucking photo in front of a church.
Seriously. He just said he supports peaceful protests and then teargasses them so he can have a photo op. At least go inside the church or something...
What a fucking asshole.
