“Open the schools. What’s the worst that can happen, kids don’t get sick.”
Freaking morons.
I just found out yesterday and acquaintance 29 year old daughter just died. She had Covid and passed out from lack of oxygen and that spiraled down into heart attacks and other issues she could not recover from Add that to a HS friends dad died from it. I think he got it from a grandchild which makes it even more tragic. I hope the kid doesn’t have long term issues.
My condolences, @Mister44.
I’m starting to think Ebola would have been a better pandemic.
Also baked into this flawed premise is the notion that mass deaths won’t hurt the economy as much as temporary social distancing measures will.
Trump wants the schools open so he can tell people everything is back to normal. He doesn’t give a shit if it kills a few kids if it bumps his polling up even marginally. I honestly believe that: he does not care even a little bit if kids or anyone else dies.
This is a dark, ugly, horrible time.
They are okay with dead teachers, too, since they’re all commies anyway… /s
Teachers, administrators, custodians, lunch staff, bus drivers, etc., all of whom have families and friends … expose all those people to the ambulatory disease vectors that children in schools turn into during outbreaks, and that’s how you get exponential spread.
Right?
We should all be pulling together through this pandemic, but so much of our society has been split and politicized now along such crazy lines, that advocating for keeping as much of us safe from infectious disease is literally controversial… I can’t even sometimes.
Thanks, Obama?
Why the sarcasm tag? That’s pretty much what they believe and the line they’ve been feeding to the MAGATS
Um, cause I don’t’ believe it?
Neither do I but it’s becoming a matter of Faith on the Right which was why I said that’s what they believe
The sarcasm comes in because I obviously don’t agree, but spoke as I did. But I suppose you know what I mean better than I do… /s
I understood what you meant the first time. But I suppose sarcasm is lost on some people /s
