before she finally said gently caress it and quit, the district was making my girlfriend go into the school so she could have zoom meetings with the people in the office next to her

i recommend manslaughter charges for these administrators at minimum

Every loving outbreak is the same. "tests up, where are the hospitalizations?" followed by "hospitalizations up, where are the deaths?" followed by "we're renting freezer trucks for morgues"

If the death happens any time after the 20 second social media roach attention span, it's a disjoint, completely independent event.

Don't forget the crypto-eugenicists who go on about how you only have to worry about it if you have a pre-existing condition.

doesn't something like 80% of the US or more have a preexisting condition, they just don't think they do

I love the ongoing debate about loving masks in schools when it is absolutely, objectively true that schools should not be open this fall at all.

I love the fact that more than a year into this and districts are still half assing poo poo by forcing teachers to make google docs forms for quizzes instead of actually implementing some kind of long-term virtual learning service, paying some company to build a real one that isn't mymathlab-esque tiers of dogshit, making it mildly fun and interactive.

Khan Academy is open source, and interactive. Give kids minecraft badges or points or some poo poo, most active participants win a fortnite skin, ship everyone a laptop instead of giving whatever idiot administrator another bonus for having "only" a few hundred kids die

Schools don't want to do more because it's hard, it costs money, and, most importantly, it's an acknowledgment that there's an ongoing crisis.

School behavior makes more sense when you realize that every district has been treating COVID like a problem that'll go away in a week or two, and they've been doing that for 70+ weeks now.
but there is a huge loving problem that's only going to get worse and is not going to last just for the summer???

the only thing this tells me is that most cases are spread via school, malls, restaurants, and sports. since australia is in the future that means the US should take the learnings from this and open up all schools in person unmasked.

This is after months of a fairly strict lockdown (not by Aussie standards but still strict).

if individual cities in america could be that bad it'd probably result in a lot less deaths

china is amusing bc you can pretty much just watch what they do rather than listen to anything they say: extreme lockdowns while saying that everyone else should open travel freely, not allowing anyone in while saying that everyone else should open travel freely, mandatory enforced quarantine and repeated tests on arrival while saying that everyone else should open travel freely
