Fauci: no school in fall
Is the country and economy just supposed to rot away?

There's going to be school in the fall.
Maybe not everywhere. But I just about guarantee there will be school here. -
Can we just get to killing Granny so this shit can be over. If you aren't 80, there is little to no risk. If you are 80, you are just a total suck on the economy and the SS savings will be good for everyone. Win fucking win.

Yes.jecornel said:100% guarantee of riots if they don't have public school this fall.

I guess I can understand distance learning where there is at least a reasonable feasible alternative. I can see high school and college kids being able to get most/all of their studies done online but it doesn't work for elementary school kids. Add to that how are parents supposed to get back to work while their 7 year old is sitting at home surfing around the internet on their laptop in some futile attempt to do their addition worksheet?
Read a couple weeks ago that in the US a total of 8 kids under the age of 18 have died from the Boomer Remover virus meanwhile 500 kids a year die from getting hit by a car. If we are really THINKING ABOUT THE KIDS GODDAMNIT we should be more concerned about how the kids get to school than if it's open or not... -

Furthermore, educational institutions—and their unions—are going to be faced with very uncomfortable questions about their societal importance if school does not go back. I think some of them are starting to realize this, and their political heft will help the economy and country at large if they choose to wield it. -
Exactly. Same with government employees that get furloughed when the money runs out.

Is it possible Fauci is just a Trump guy trying to make the governors look bad?
There is no logical explanation for his insistence on remaining in shutdown/Great Depression mode. Other than that is what his Chinese Overloads demand.

The Rona doesn't bother kids. We know this. So why?

Also, I have kids at all 3 educational levels you mention. It's not good for anyone of them, but better relatively for the college kid. My high schoolers have shop/technical classes, and that's completely a time-waster. And for those who disdain occupational ed, art classes are fucked from what I hear from other parents. The elementary program is a zero. This is not spread equitably, as #MyProgressives would say. Some neighboring districts were better prepared, some worse.GDS said:I guess I can understand distance learning where there is at least a reasonable feasible alternative.

I can envision it being better marginally in the fall with a summer to prepare. But if that's the case, I want a 50% property tax refund for the massive physical plant write-off. Off course, there's no symmetry to be expected in this. -
My son is attending UW remotely but because he's T-town tuff he's up in Seattle living in a dorm. They gave him a double room with a bathroom for his single rate he was paying in McMahon. He says the virtual learning is a complete shitshow and has turned into juiceboxes and apple slices for all. My wife works in a local high school and has told me that they have ONLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE CONTACT WITH 30% OF THEIR STUDENTS since the schools went virtual yet they're going pass them all anyway.
Fuck this. -

So, you go hide in the basement with the counselor. No one is making you go to Husky stadium.

A more rational concern—also cited by these governors—addresses the possibility that asymptomatic schoolchildren could end up passing the virus to their teachers, parents, or other adults. But even here the balance of existing evidence suggests this worry is largely unfounded. “Children under 10 are less likely to get infected than adults, and if they get infected, they are less likely to get seriously ill,” said Kári Stefánsson, in an interview following the publication of an Icelandic study he coauthored in The New England Journal of Medicine. “What is interesting,” he continued, “is that even if children do get infected, they are less likely to transmit the disease to others than adults. We have not found a single instance of a child infecting parents.”
The same conclusion has been reached by many others. A report released by the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment for the Netherlands found “no indications that children younger than 12 years were the first to be infected within the family.” Rather, it remarked, “The virus is mainly spread between adults and from adult family members to children.” A report of the WHO-China Joint Mission on Coronavirus Disease stated: “Of note, people interviewed by the Joint Mission Team could not recall episodes in which transmission occurred from a child to an adult.”

My kids and Grandkids remain on Permanent lockdown because they might get my friends sick while they themselves are at No personal risk? -
People with kids have been coming to work sick for decades as everyone chuckles at the little petri dishes of disease infecting the parents
Big belly laughs in the media room
Now we must remain closed until that never happens again -
