My neighbor whole family covid effected. Her child high school students. Her child brings covid from school
School should be remote learning option. Child life first .child life saves first priority. Child life is not fun . Al least few months school for remote . Covid gone school open again
That's the problem America is not doing the right thing everything needs to be shut down for at least 3 months everyone needs to get vaccinated
HK: All students below 6th grade sent home for a month.
HK: Very long lines for covid test.
HK expert: You should wear two masks outside home.
HK: No dine ins after 6pm.
HK people: OK, let's all stay at home.

Conroe the teachers do not wear masks.
They should have an online options. Some kids have weak immune system.
Business have to stay open to keep the economy going school can survive if they continue online PERIOD
These experts should not speak unless they are a school nurse.
He is missing hand hygiene in his safety list.
It's been over 500 years of colonization and their foreign virus genocides and scientific experiments against our people and We need some special protections and our own Black Americans Aboriginal cultural schools especially since we are the only ones who had anti culture and anti literacy laws passed against us so it's a debt owed before they completely wipe us out and Wealready fought for our freedoms
The man speaking on Covid and it being safe in schools has clearly not been in an elementary school. If everyone were vaccinated and were wearing masks, sure it would be a lot safer – we don’t live in that perfect world. A bar is way safer and a terrible comparison. I stand with the Chicago teachers. This isn’t about the children’s mental health. This is about daycare. Parents need to work, of course. But the minimum safety measures are not being followed.

Are you serious? You are saying that you know MORE than the people who work EVERY SINGLE DAY in those buildings? Do you think they are ventilated? Do you think they are wearing your precious N95 masks? Are they even wearing their masks properly? My kid's school district isn't even requiring masks. Why do you all continue to say that there is not much spread in schools? That is where the spread is! You are motivated by working parents and meals and other factors and you should just say that. I hate virtual. I also hate seeing my son terrified out of his mind to be forced to go to school when they don't even take precautions. How is that on a child's mental health? What I see is that you are not being honest. Stop acting like there is an invisible protection wall at schools. The place where people are NOT social distanced and in our district's case, not masked (and the cases are multiplying so fast). There is no special provision for the virus staying away from schools or not aiding in community spread. You know damn well it is! The second school starts, kids get sick and that isn't happening at that rate during the time school is out is it? I am so sick of this. My child cries at night because he is afraid to go to school but has to. The teachers refuse to go BECAUSE THEY SEE THIS! They are the front line workers in the school, don't you think they frickin know?

Poor kids I can't believe we send our kids to be with these worthless pieces of s*** they call themselves teachers not only are they indoctrinating our kids like critical race Theory bulshit but now they even refused to teach our kids at all I wish they would just walk away find a new career worthless pieces of s***

But what about the parents that can’t work from home??
"Anyone can test positive for practically anything with a PCR test, if you run it long enough…with PCR if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody…it doesn't tell you that you're sick. " – Dr. Kary Mullis, PHD, creator of the PCR test.

First "Covid case":
December 12, 2019
I guess the teachers have more concerned over children's health than education cause how can you learn if you are too sick to pay attention. A lot of parents are not going to get their children vaccinated or wear mask so the teachers have a valid reason to strike. They learn from the parents that are anti vax on how to troll people and it's working.
The man speaking on Covid and it being safe in schools has clearly not been in an elementary school. If everyone were vaccinated and were wearing masks, sure it would be a lot safer – we don’t live in that perfect world. A bar is way safer and a terrible comparison. I stand with the Chicago teachers. This isn’t about the children’s mental health. This is about daycare. Parents need to work, of course. But the minimum safety measures are not being followed.
Thank you AOC for giving covid to hundreds of people
What percentage of kids are vaccinated?
Those conditions are NOT met.
I'm a super progressive lefty mcleftist, but I'm sick of the alarmist news already. Covid is endemic. Time to move on.
The teachers are right.

New Zealand is 92% vaccinated and the US is only 63% vaccinated.
2 years of pandemic and American's still don't get it.
Is it a problem with the American education system?
Covid deaths US 859,994 vs China 4,636 New Zealand 51.
1 million Covid cases per day is the result of America's freedom delusion.
Evolution is where the smart and strong survive. Covid deaths USA 859,994 vs New Zealand 51.
US parents protest at school meetings about? A: 185 school shootings in 10 years B: Masks.

"Anyone can test positive for practically anything with a PCR test, if you run it long enough…with PCR if you do it well, you can find almost anything in anybody…it doesn't tell you that you're sick. " – Dr. Kary Mullis, PHD, creator of the PCR test.

"If someone dies WITH covid-19, we are counting that as a Covid-19 death." – Direct quote from Dr. Birx at the Coronavirus Task Force press conference. You could literally make a stuffy nose the leading cause of death using this rule.
Is this doctor a teacher? Does he know what it takes to teach kids? Maybe he should stay in his lane.
Tone deaf Clown bemoans having to wait for a pcr result before returning to work. Maybe it's best to keep infectious frontline workers away from Sick Kids! Weasle also wonders if schools aren't safe, whatabout bar and restaurants? Good question, judging by high rates of infections among staff and customers alike. 🤡
I'm a teacher and this guy is full of it . . . if he thinks it's not so concerning or if those of you comment about President Brandon idiots who are antivaxers, spend a day in the classroom with 35 kids for each of my 5 periods of class on a daily basis before you make stupid comments …. mention President Brandon and I can tell you are ignorant right away
The greatest scam in history continues.
Government did not do enough to close boarders or cancel flights to prevent Omicro. What a pity.
President Brandon is doing a great job. Let's go Brandon!
This too shall pass.
