This is a little off-topic, and undeniably anecdotal.
I was in high school in Manhattan on September 11th, just a few blocks from the WTC. For months after the attacks, my high school building was used as a staging ground/rest center/food distribution center for rescue workers.
We the students were sent to a high school in Brooklyn, where my school and the host school split the day into shifts. They had class from 7am untill 11:30, and we had class from 12:30 to 5. Each class period was about 25 minutes.
The pay don’t only work 180 days and get “a year’s salary”. This is a myth.
Also a tad ungrateful that people who are looking for the school system to be the lynchpin in “getting us back to normal” are also so disdainful of the people they are asking to go in at risk.
Whatever boost the economy gets from reopening schools, it won’t cancel out the tragic personal stories that result from it. It doesn’t seem like good politics right before the election.
Yes it does when EVERYONE is actually doing it. Unfortunately, the arrogant, ignorant along with the anti-science qanon crowd are making things rather difficult.
I’ve had a couple of people say that anything less than the number of deaths from influenza last year would be an acceptable risk/reward. About 200 kids died from the flu last year. So I guess that is the magical number.
“If I could go back and redo anything, it probably would have been to slow down the opening of bars, now seeing in the aftermath of how quickly the coronavirus spread in the bar setting,” Abbott said during an evening interview with KVIA in El Paso.
Abbott added that the “bar setting, in reality, just doesn’t work with a pandemic,” noting people “go to bars to get close and to drink and to socialize, and that’s the kind of thing that stokes the spread of the coronavirus.”
“At this time, it is clear that the rise in cases is largely driven by certain types of activities, including Texans congregating in bars," Abbott said Friday morning. “The actions in this executive order are essential to our mission to swiftly contain this virus and protect public health.”
GB, France, Germany, Italy and Spain have about 4% of the worlds population and 23% of COVID deaths. The leftist narrative fails on all points. Did you not see your leftist masters talking points get shredded by Dr Fauci et all the other day? b Every single leftist claim about the COVID response was refuted by actual evidence of what has been done and what is being done. the masters lie to you.
They look like they are having little mini spikes in each area of the economy they attempt to open but that they do not have to deal with the Floyd spikes the left inflicted on us. Kind of like we were looking before the floyd spikes started. Kind of like NYC and other NE cities are now, since they were also hit hard and as a result had a somewhat a higher level of immunity once the protest started protecting them somewhat from the spikes.
Given that COVID antibodies are short lived, that immunity is about expired now, and increases in NE cities and in Europe will begin. Not the floyd spikes we’re getting (unless people get stupid again) but the natural type increases you’d expect to see from a virus.
