Big Blitz Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 (edited) There is no plan to open High Schools. Biden's "100 days plan" to reopen the schools is K--8 only. Guess what Emperor Fauci told the AFT yesterday: “The President is taking very seriously the issue both from the students’ standpoint and from the teachers’ standpoint. And he really wants to, and believes, that the schools need to reopen in the next 100 days, essentially all K-8 schools within 100 days..... “That’s the goal. That may not happen. Because there may be mitigating circumstances. But what he really wants to do is everything within his power to help get to that.” "There may be mitigating circumstances...." Oh.....and in 100 days....it's May. We really opening up school for a month? How stupid and ignorant can everyone possibly be? Don't demand answers or anything. The kids have 5 childhoods they'll be fine. Edited January 30, 2021 by Big Blitz
reddogblitz Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 Mayor Bloomberg had w good editorial in the Seattle Times today. https://www.seattletimes.com/opinion/getting-kids-back-into-classrooms-should-be-a-national-priority/ Quote In addition to the terrible toll COVID-19 has taken on the nation’s health, it’s been a calamity for American education. Only about 15% of school districts offered full-time in-person classes last fall. For students and parents elsewhere, the pandemic has meant navigating novel and often dubious remote-learning software. Any parent of a young child can attest that virtual instruction typically falls somewhere between subpar and hopeless. The results have been alarming but not surprising. Early research suggests sharply reduced learning gains; widening racial disparities in achievement; and an eruption of anxiety, loneliness, depression and other mental-health afflictions among students isolated from their peers and stuck at home. Some districts have seen a rash of suicides. Education analysts warn that the long-term consequences — for disadvantaged kids, for racial equity, even for America’s global competitiveness — could be disastrous. The bolded is why we need to get kids back in school as soon as humanly possible. Rich or upper middle class kids have broad band, their own laptop and their parents hire tutors or go to private school. Poorer kids don't have that are falling further behind. We all believe in equity, right? The current situation has no equity. The gap between the haves and have nots is widening. 1
SoCal Deek Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 We round out the week with another 3,700 more dead Americans up on Uncle Joe’s tote board! Well done Mr President. Good to know you’ve got that 400 page plan under your pillow. Now, if you can only get past the Table of Contents before your afternoon nap or your daily social justice sermon we’ll really be getting somewhere. 1
ALF Posted January 30, 2021 Posted January 30, 2021 The face mask that could end the pandemic N95 masks are considered the gold standard in personal protective equipment because they block 95% of large and small particles utilizing a unique electrostatic filter. Some experts like Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School physician Dr. Abraar Karan have been advocating for public use of N95 masks from the start of the pandemic. In an interview with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta, Karan outlined why N95s are critical at this stage of the pandemic. "If for four weeks the country essentially wore these masks in those risky settings like that indoors, what kind of difference do you think it would make?" Gupta asked. "This would stop the epidemic," Karan responded. https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/22/health/face-mask-n95-coronavirus-transmission/index.html If only the CDC demanded the US build capacity to make these masks 24/7 at the start of the pandemic. 1

"Cloth masks don't block aerosols." Thank you. Thank you for confirming. Admitting what we all knew from day 1 they just couldn't tell you because running out of toilet paper would be the least of your concerns. Remember libs.....Trump told Woodward it was airborne in January of 2020. So have the mask wearers in America are wasting their time and doing absolutely nothing. As to the N95 blocking "small particles." Ok how does it handle the much smaller then small covid particles and what studies are there that shows the mask does better then me just not sneezing or shouting at people inside for an hour. Also, considering everything is one big gigantic f...ing lie, we should be full open. You do you and stay home in the N95 and maybe put another one on just to be super safe.

OF COURSE a “Karan” would say wearing an N95 would end the pandemic. 1

Vaccinate teachers , staff , bus drivers as a priority . They are getting vaccinated. It doesn't matter. The Unions are still saying its not safe to go back. Until.....??????????? I know I'm not getting jack ***t stuck in my arm until I hear the words "so we can get back to normal asap." And I'm not the only one. Now the State (most of them) agree with the unions. The ones run by the Ds (teachers) that put them in charge. Why? What grounds are they basing this on? They are telling all vaccinated basically "we have no clue what this is going to do." So until you see "ZERO" under cases on your fake news channel of choice, that distanced/half capacity/virtual school life is permanent. And since 50 million kids can't get it, and since no way are you vaccinating 150 million let alone 300 million, you will most definitely have cases....and deaths. Well into 2022 and beyond. By that point, what does the self imposed destruction of their profession and the kids futures look like? Going into YEAR THREE of Covid. At best all your public school kids are going to see for the next 3-5 years is half full schools and hybrid scheduling. The public going to appreciate this when their 6th grader can learn just as well watching YouTube Videos as they could whatever the hell it is they do now. Who will want their rising Kindergartener, 1st grader, or 2nd grader to deal with this anymore. "This" being put in a bubble twice a week or 4 days a week or whatever plague response protocol they've enacted. The Juniors and Seniors I'd say 1/2 or more are going to want full time virtual options instead. No reason for them to ever be in a building. Schools will happily oblige this bc less = more when you are worrying about discipline issues, transportation, etc. And if they want virtual options, why be handcuffed to District A when District B is better? Or any virtual option? Nice work all around give yourselves a virtual elbow bump everyone! Good job! Edited January 31, 2021 by Big Blitz
