At what point did you / will you take the coronavirus epidemic seriously?

Andrew. I wouldn't care what Chris says. I re-read the full comments again today and they didn't hit me as bad but still seemed irresponsible. He has said in the past he wouldn't trust a vaccine developed under Trump and he basically doubled down on that.

Didn't he mostly say that he wouldn't trust Trump's plan to roll out the vaccine fairly? In other words, that poor, minority communities would be ignored under Trump's plan to use the existing health care network to deliver the vaccine. I didn't watch the entire segment, but that's what I gathered from what I watched. It felt like the tweets and headlines misrepresented what he said.

That would make more sense but I have not followed the story.

To me, the most egregious takeaway was that he seems to think that the private sector should not be involved in the roll out and distribution, it should be the government. Which is a dumb in and of itself because most healthcare in this country is provided by the private sector. Who is going to do it? The VA? The Post Office? But the notion that technocrats such as himself, with no existing infrastructure for this, should be in charge and getting credit? This is about nothing more than a concern about who will get credit for this.

Did our tithing settlement Sunday via Facetime. Boom! One less family for the bish to clorox wipe up after.

I have a daughter in high school. We have the option of being in class 2 times per week or being 100% online.

Last week, we got an email from the school saying that a teacher (unnamed) had Covid. A bit ago, we got an email from the school saying that a teacher had died. They named the teacher but didn't give a cause of death. I kind of doubt from the timing that he died of Covid, but if he did, there are going to be some parental freak-outs around here.

Kimberly Bird, spokeswoman for Alpine School District, . . . said 90% of students who attended school in person first term earned passing grades compared to some 60% of those who attended online. The district has now designated Wednesdays as online learning days so teachers can give online learners more individualized attention.
“We are working passionately to try to maintain in-person school, it’s that vital to our students’ success,” Bird said.

maybe online school isn't the future. At least, not the way we're doing it right now.

Online learning is not the future.

Correct. We'll all be focusing on online forgetting.

The difference in my son's knowledge retention, enthusiasm, and happiness from last spring while doing online schooling compared to this fall in person is staggering. He is as extraverted as they come and needs people around him to concentrate (oddly enough). I begrudgingly agreed to have him go in person this year and am so glad I did.

I've been struggling mightily with teleworking. I think your son and I have a lot in common.

My extroverted daughter is failing all her classes and has 25+ absences (spread across different classes). We are looking at transferring her to a private school that is doing in person.

Meanwhile, our governor just announced a soft Stay at Home 2.0 order.

Are public schools not even open at all? Our school is open to whomever wants to be in person and so far it’s a little over 50% are in person and the rest online. Other than a small breakout of the virus among the volleyball team, the school usually has one or two active cases at a time. Whatever they are doing is working well and it wouldn’t surprise me if we made it through the whole school year without significant issues. My kids are all on campus and we are glad they can do that.

I think that public schools are open throughout the state, except for in Clark County, which of course is the largest school district by far and the 5th largest in the country. A lot of that has to do with the school union in Clark county, which apparently has dirty pictures of our governor, because they are putting lots of political pressure on him.

Our governor has been in bed with the teachers’ unions for so long that he doesn’t remember where his **** stops and their ***** starts anymore. Lots of harm to helpless, innocent children being done in the name of “safety.” My children haven’t seen a classroom since March. I should be posting in the “What is wrong with California?” thread . . .
