    Trump's railing about schools reopening, so might as well talk about it

    German study finds no evidence coronavirus spreads in schools

     

     

    Quote

     

    The study, the largest carried out on schoolchildren and teachers in Germany, found traces of the virus in fewer than 1 per cent of teachers and children.

    Scientists from Dresden Technical University said they believe children may act as a “brake” on chains of infection.

    Prof Reinhard Berner, the head of pediatric medicine at Dresden University Hospital and leader of the study, said the results suggested the virus does not spread easily in schools.

    “It is rather the opposite,” Prof Berner told a press conference. “Children act more as a brake on infection. Not every infection that reaches them is passed on.”

    Ummm...

     

    No we aren't.

     

    This thread is just revealing so much ignorance with regards to teachers it's ridiculous.

     

    You brought up one of the most common misconceptions of how we're paid.

     

    We're 10 month employees who get paid over a span of 12 months because a percentage of our pay is withheld during the 10 months so we can be paid over the Summer.  I've heard of some districts where you have the option to get your full pay through the 10 months, but then you aren't paid through the Summer.

     

    There are 12 month employees at schools like Registrars and Librarians who are paid more on the whole because they work 2 extra months, but their wage isn't higher.

     

    I'm calling bullschiff on this. If you are only paid for 10 months, you would then qualify for unemployment for the other 2 months. Do you keep your benefits during those 2 months? Does your healthcare switch to Cobra automatically and then back?

    If you were dollar cost averaging in this whole time (which most people were in their 401k's) you're likely higher than you were pre-Covid.  

     

    I stand corrected. I don't check it often but I just did when I saw this and while it's not a lot you're right, it is higher than pre-covid now. ?

    Has there been any data on people getting infected more then once?

     

    2 things about this... First, if there were, it would be the top story on every news channel because they couldn't help but to sensationalize it. Second, it sounds like they have been experimenting with platelets from people who have beaten it as a cure. That would be worthless if people didn't build an immunity.

    Define "The Market"?

     

    It's just a convenient and ignorant way for the left to say "the stock market crashed" and it's all Trump's fault! Ignoring the fact it is the biggest crash and turn around within a 6 month period in the history of the stock market. Not sure about y'all but my 401K is back where it was before Covid19 now and that's after an almost 20% drop

    Trump's Tax Returns Subpoenaed by Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance Jr.

    I look at a grand jury as a glorified fishing expedition that serves the purpose of letting the DA, who is an elected official off the hook for any indictments that might not be popular. It also serves a legitimate purpose but skirts around some of the rules we have to protect a possible defendant. 

     

    My wife sat on a GJ for 6 months a while ago and in her own words, loved every minute of it. While she wasn't the foreman, or the backup, she was usually the one to get up and question the DA about the evidence, and sometimes, about the Constitutionality of how it was acquired. While no cases she reviewed were stopped from proceeding to trial, she did in fact have some evidence disallowed. 

    When it was all over, the DA told her she had been a breath of fresh air because too often, the GJ was just a rubber stamp. There were even times when they presented their case to them that they just turned to her then and asked if she had any questions.

     For her, it was an excellent chance for her to see the justice system from the inside and she would do it again in a second! If we were younger, I suspect I would now be paying her way through law school... ?

    I'm saying preventive care is more cost effective then hospital care for the uninsured .

     

    You're right, preventative care is less costly, and that was one of the reasons Obama gave to help reduce the number of people going to the emergency room.

    However once the ACA was passed, the opposite happened. Emergency room visits actually increased since it was now covered and didn't require an appointment be made like your doctor office visits did.

    I am not interested in tattling or reporting users.  I’m interested in getting DR to either admit he is lying or that he is a hypocrite (there is a reason he won’t answer it).  

    if DR wasn’t your forum friend, you wouldn’t care.  So stop.  He is lying and won’t own up to it

    You're right. It's a new account just created on 7/1 and this user (@Winston Zeddemore) is already referencing DR's go to's on Twitter. 

     

    And you have @Buffalo_Gal defending "regulars" - on a login that was recently created.

     

    Nice catch!

    I don’t mind his friends defending him, though they must know it’s because they are obviously biased.  But yes, the account is clearly DR.  Created when he was suspended.  He claims to know DR’s entire posting history.  He is obsessed with calling people dishonest (a weird DR staple).  And he posts the same tweets DR did.

     

    Which is fine, but he should own up to being dishonest and using multiple accounts, since he loves to accuse people of that.  He is a hypocrite if owns up to it, and a lair if he won’t.  
     

    he will refuse to answer the question though because he got caught and is a coward.

    my posting history is pretty clear.  I usually post here for a few days and then not for another month or two.  


    well, he is reposting “valuable” information.  I wouldn’t call that providing anything.  
     

    and who cares.  He got caught lying and should own up to it.  His mantra is honesty so he has it coming

    She's just attacking you because we know @Winston Zeddemore = @Deranged Rhino and all the other logins DR uses.  He has several - and he admitted that ages ago.

    The reasons people get pulled over are varied. How that translates into "real priviledge" for each and every member of one group and "oppression" for each and every member of another group in regard to opportunities for advancement/betterment requires some real intellectual gymnastics.

    I used to get pulled over multiple times a year, and I'm an olive-skinned Italian. Am I supposed to believe there were pulling me over for skin color and not because I was a horrible effin' driver? :lol:

     

    Hell, I've had long hair in a pony tail, beard, and some people think I look somewhat crazy. I mean, sort of George Carlin crazy, not Jack Nicholson Shining type crazy. Been that way since I got married 30 years ago and the wifey won't let me cut either off..... 

     

    Anyway, for most of that, I drove pick-ups or fast cars and got pulled over at least 3 times a year. Yeah, stereotyping for sure!  Every ticket I ever got was a non-moving violation. Never even a speeding though I deserve one almost every time I get behind the wheel. ?

    Funny part is, I bought a hybrid three years ago for better gas mileage to and from work. I've passed cops doing 10 or 15 over, and never once been pulled over in that car. Could it be that now, in my CMAX, with the beard and pony tail, I'm viewed differently? 

     

    But don't worry... I just transferred to only 6 miles from home, so that hybrid will go soon in favor of another pick-up, gun rack and all....

    Illegal immigrants do not qualify for government aid, including welfare.  They may receive assistance from private sources, which also helped down-and-out immigrants in the supposed "good old days".   Legal immigrants are either supposed to have already have jobs waiting for them or have sponsorship by another individual (usually a spouse or other family) or a private group who guarantees to keep that immigrant from landing on welfare for several years after arrival.   Even immigrants who are granted political asylum seldom are given welfare.

     

    THAT is complete bullschiff. Welfare is administered by the STATES, not the federal government who does actually pay for most of it though. And few if any states make you prove citizenship for government assistance. With roughly 20 million of them here, and it still illegal to hire them, how the f*** do you think they survive? I find it preposterous that companies are raided sometimes with illegals working there, and the business gets fined. The crazy part is that in some states it's illegal to even ask i they are here legally!

    Yeah, some work on stolen ID or under the table, but many are also on the government dole. 

     

    Here is a source for the cost to American taxpayers for illegal immigration.

    Covid 19 vs Trump

    July 9, 2020 -- the positivity rate for coronavirus in NY over the last 7 days has fallen to 1.13% while the positivity rate in Arizona for the same period is 26.81%, in Florida 19.06, and in Texas 15.59.

     

    Multiple states report record deaths and coronavirus hospitalizations. 

     

    Trump continues to claim that the rising coronavirus cases are because of increased testing despite the fact that the number of positive case are rising faster than the rising number of tests.  

     

    Trump -- "We did everything right."  "We saved millions of lives."

     

     

    Let's not let facts get in the way of hyperbole though. Notice this graph shows a seasonal baseline that includes Pneumonia and the flu along with Covid. Alas, it must suck seeing we are back to a normal baseline for deaths of these three COMBINED!

     

    This graph shows pneumonia and influenza (P&I) mortality data provided to CDC by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) Mortality Reporting System.

    Yep, Kamala Harris or Andrew Cuomo, I told my wife that 3 months ago, soon we'll never hear from Biden again

     

    I would have agreed on those 2 a couple months ago, but Cuomo is seriously damaged goods now because of the nursing home mess. But then, they're Democrats so many would vote for him anyway since he isn't Trump. Hell, I suspect about 45% of the country would vote for Howdy Doody just because #orangemanbad
