This is our second day of school and our superintendent just sent out an email at lunch stating that he believes that we had a great first day. Which if you ignore the pandemic, it went great. However, his email asks us for suggestions that might make us feel better prepared or better assured about being here during the pandemic, but not to suggest e-learning. Hahahaha

Even notter good (not gooder?) when you assume that with the amount of people staying in, not able to go to bars/driving/whatever, there should be less than the normal amount of deaths happening.

I'm just flabbergasted. I checked my local news FB page and they posted an article about the GOP challenging Governor Ever's mask order and like 90% of the people were making fun of the GOP being big babies and are suggesting following science, etc. Usually there are a ton of chuds and MAH FREEDOM types but they were by far in the minority. FB really makes me hate my community but it's honestly so relieving to see people speaking out in favor of living. Pennywise the Frown fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Jul 31, 2020 |

I have the same feelings, just over the border. I know the vast majority of people in my life that are educated and on the left, when I tell them that I troll the local lunatics on FB, say "I don't even scroll down on the articles". I have a feeling that all those CHUDs posting on FB repetitively are Boomers whose kids have cut them off or they're Crazy Uncle Barry that lives in Grandma and Grandpa's carriage house and has never touched a woman and they're lonely with no other outlet to communicate their bile.

Captain Beans posted:ask if you can borrow the bubble he is clearly living in He thinks he is. Our county has a really low increase in covid cases so he is just sure this year is going to go super awesome according to another email earlier this week. However, we're now up to 2 staff members with positive tests. Nobody else needs to quarantine because to do so according to our plan, it has to fit all three criteria: 1. 6ft or closer contact 2. 15 minutes of contact 3. No masks Basically, nobody will ever be quarantined after contact tracing. To make things even better, one of our 6 board members who helped with all these decisions is one of the directors at the local hospital.

If, in a year, things have returned to a level of normal where reentering the school system is "viable and safe" then in theory the child won't have lost much ground. There should be a (probably overloaded) bureaucratic process to jump through, but I haven't heard anything about restricting it. haaaa, loving update on this  also, bonus on the covid child camp matter:

So what’s going on in Sweden? Their death rate plummeted, did they start using masks? or perhaps their strategy turned out to be correct after all (let everyone get infected and God will sort them out)

The local news page on fb (Tucson, AZ) has a delightful passel of idiots squalling that if the schools are closed then their property taxes need to go down. Meanwhile, "officials" are telling people to go donate plasma if they've had roni, and the daily cases are anywhere from 2500-3200. I cannot imagine what parents of school-age kids are feeling right now, just, goddamn.

Not that I doubt we're undercounting but I'm familiar with the CDC chart, and it's excess deaths ALL causes, so how is he making sure he isn't counting covid twice? Does he explain his methodology anywhere?
