Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

The problem for the school is they would need to prove the photos caused a disruption to the learning environment. Is putting photos exposing the dangers within the school enough to prove there was a disruption beyond telling parents there is a real threat to their kids being in school? Did the school go through the social media accounts of every other student and punish them? Can they do that?

Like I said, this case would be interesting to see play out.

 

How many of those are contagious? I count four. And don't get me started with homicide.

And once again, Covid is doing laps around flu deaths, but just like the flu...

 

I am now curious if DeWine's first test announcement was a way to get around a public appearance with Trump.

 

I'm sure the MAGA contingent here seriously considers that fact. They were already ripping him for the mask mandate, saying his infection proves masks are worthless.

In reality, it's just another example tests aren't (anywhere near) 100 percent accurate. I remember reading a couple of stories a few months ago when those rapid tests were first getting used that they can especially have higher rates of inaccuracy, though I recall false negatives being more of a thing with them than false positives.

 

In adults.

COVID kid deaths (14 among ages 5-14 through July 8) are still a fraction of flu kid deaths (144). And that's despite the incredible advantage COVID has (no vaccine, learning about it from scratch, etc.).

That does mean something.

 

If football is actually played, the willingness to believe the rapid tests that are negative will be the key to completing any season.

 

How many adults have caught COVID from an infected minor?

 

We may find out shortly in SEC country. Check particular counties in Georgia in about a month.

 

And what's the mitigating factor in this? I'll give you a hint it rhymes with Fools Ropin'.

Also what about the families they bring it home to? And before you throw Germany in my face, keep in mind that study was done in an area with an already low community transmission rate in a country that took aggressive measures.

 

Don't know. And that's something, too.

But it's not like kids never come into contact with adults outside of school. They come into contact with many more, actually.

 

If kid A has a family with someone at risk and took measures to limit contacts and kid B has a family that has been looser with limits. Kid B brings it to school and infects kid A who brings it home to his family along with kids C, D, E, F .... N, O and P.

And that's the problem. The problem isn't the kids who played fast and loose with restrictions. It's them mixing with the kids who didn't.

 

They might be mixing with them at baseball practice this summer. Or the local pizza joint. Or wherever kids hang out together.

I don't think we're still in stay-the-fuck-home mode. Not based on all the kids playing in my neighborhood every day.

One question I don't think I've seen answered: If remote learning is the norm for the 2020-21 school year, are expectations the same as last spring?

Nobody can fail? Nobody has to turn in their assignments? Nobody really has to even log in (thousands in my city's school system didn't)?
