I may not always go to Home Depot, but when I do, its not to stay in a small room with 25 people for seven hours five days a week.
keep the schools closed until the case counts are under control.
Have you been inside a Home Depot?

Even where Trump is popular, some school leaders reject his push to reopen schools
Reopening schools is seen as a linchpin to restarting the economy, making it a crucial part of his reelection bid.
school officials who worry that reopening schools could accelerate the spread of the virus.
In interviews, some expressed frustration that the president was pushing schools to reopen but
offering little in the way of help, financial or otherwise.
Congress allocated $13.5 billion in pandemic relief to K-12 schools,
compared with the $100 billion they got in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.
I’ve got to look out first and foremost for the kids, for the teachers, the service personnel, all those involved right on down to the parents.”
The red-state governors who have followed Trump’s lead have faced swift backlash from school leaders.
Teachers, however, are pushing back hard.
On Monday, Florida’s largest teachers union sued DeSantis and the state’s top education official to force them to roll back their emergency order.
Many parents are reluctant, too, as the science around how well children spread the virus remains inconclusive.

this whole teaching thing is now that parents realize how ty it is to spend all day with their crappy kids, they want to throw them back at the teachers who initially had to spend all day with their ty kids. And they still won't give them a pay raise.
lol cases bwahahahhahahahahhahaha
^ lol gossip
"boo socialism but we need to drag these kids into publicly funded school buildings for their own good"
people so blinded by media they only think virus happens in USA.
the Republican way - “Put your children at risk for the betterment of our country! But not my kids, just yours.”
That's you. You're in here hourly crying about Sweden
Students atheletes, I would expect most were not kids, but teens, middle and high school?
1000s of that age group have died, and many 1000Ms more have been severely damaged.
and student athletes are only a tiny %age of all students.
Athletes getting depressed because they can't play sports?
Why didn't you say so? Let's get these schools fully open today!
You sucked at sports when you were a kid, didn't you, board cuckold?
In the US 1000s of teens have died from covid and many 1000Ms more have been severely damaged by covid? Where are you getting these stats from?
DCSAA just got 3% raise - only after teachers got theirs, of course. Don't swallow the lie that they aren't getting paid - especially the retirees before Rick Scott reformed Florida Retirement System. Before Scott's changes, COLA was 3% per year - imagine starting at 22, work 30 years and start collecting pension [based on 5 highest years plus max 60 days vacation plus all the {unlimited} sick leave ac ulated from 30 years at 12 per year) for the rest of your life at 3% guaranteed raise per year. Now, after 2011, for each year worked, n/30 gets subtracted from COLA.
This is after a proposition was approved on last ballot for raises for teachers in Miami-Dade - I hear that some senior teachers got a $22k bump.
Lol "I hear"
38 people test positive for COVID-19 following Ky. high school football team outbreak
BY VALARIE HONEYCUTT SPEARS
JULY 20, 2020 01:31 PM , UPDATED JULY 20, 2020 07:53 PM
A COVID-19 outbreak among Hazard Independent High School football players had spread by Monday to 38 people, including 18 football players, three coaches and 17 of their family members and close contacts who have tested positive.
Scott Lockard, the director of the Kentucky River District Health Department in Hazard who provided the numbers to the Herald-Leader, said all 38 have been recovering at home.
Lockard had reported on July 11 that the southeastern Kentucky school had suspended athletic team workouts as nine players and a coach tested positive for COVID-19 in a cluster.
With the increase in cases, he said Monday that athletic workouts, practices and training at the school have now been suspended indefinitely. A weight room at the high school was considered to be the common denominator.
“The outbreak is related, we feel like is related, to out-of -state travel,” Lockard said.
On Monday night, Lockard clarified that the first student reported to the health department as testing positive and his family had not traveled out of state as Lockard had said earlier in the day.
“But he was exposed to other individuals associated with the team who had traveled out of state and have tested positive for COVID-19,” Lockard said.
Lockard did not identify the other state.
He said the high school weight room “we think was a big part of the transmission between the students.”
Lockard said the health department would work with the school to determine when it was safe to resume workouts.
Last week, Hazard Independent Superintendent Sondra Combs said the district school reopening date was going to be delayed to August 24, noting “the rising number of positive cases and some anxiety of our families.”
Lockard said he could not confirm that Hazard Independent was the Kentucky school that Gov. Andy Beshear mentioned during a Friday news conference as having 36 positive COVID-19 cases as of Friday and being an example of “community impact.”
Beshear would not identify that school where he said masks were not being worn inside a weight room. He noted that 18 players and three coaches had tested positive and as of Friday, 15 others.
“This is just one example of why wearing a mask is absolutely critical,” Beshear said. “Let’s just take this as another lesson that we’re living in really dangerous times.”
“It says that we need to be nervous right now about sports,” he said.
The case associated with a high school athletic team comes as school districts across the state, including Fayette, are trying to decide how and when to reopen schools which shut down in-person learning in March as the coronavirus spread.
On Sunday, Beshear announced the largest single day increase in COVID-19 cases at 979. Lexington health officials on Monday announced a e in cases of children under 18.
Hearing of schools in maryland, dc and va are going to be virtual
But but the children will hqve to stay home
Time to start building lots of little coffins
The stunted education and mental health of kids learning from home with ty resources is a legitimate concern tbh. But “just send the poor kids back to school” isn’t a great solution.
I know some like to bash Rick Scott but reforming the Florida Retirement System was one good thing he did - saved a lot of runaway abuses - now it's in pretty good shape (compared to other states).
Wow imagine bashing the criminal behind the biggest case of medicare fraud the country has ever seen.
Kids are reasonably safe from dying.

The primary argument is how will it spread it to staff at schools? In Sweden:
We tend to do things on another level of irresponsibility in the US, so if Sweden is having outbreaks in schools that cause shutdowns, what will happen here? My other worry is that while kids are at less risk from dying of Covid vs. the flu, are they at less risk from long term complications? Sure, I think opening schools in sparsely population regions like Montana or whatever is relatively safe, but an inner city in New York presents a different problem.However, a scan of Swedish newspapers makes clear that school outbreaks have occurred. In the town of Skellefteå, a teacher died and 18 of 76 staff tested positive at a school with about 500 students in preschool through ninth grade. The school closed for 2 weeks because so many staff were sick,
