DeVos doubles down on push to reopen schools -- POLL

[dqhall]

Video explains some of the guidelines and challenges to be met before sending the kids back to the classroom.

My wife teaches third grade and because of my age mixed with a couple of health issues I'm just not sure how to safely proceed?

If she does return full or part time to the classroom I will be taking her temperature before she leaves for work in the morning and when she arrives home at night.

Some doctors were sleeping in campers to protect their families in case they got hospital related infections.

Parents pressured schools to open as they want their children supervised and not home alone while they work.

Young people without jobs pressured politicians to open businesses, now we have seen hospitals filling up in Florida.

Let local districts decide for themselves.

Wouldn't it be great if we had adults running the country, who would have the intelligence and humility to do the same?

Biden has proven that
he has none of the above.

Notice that if Biden had been our leader, the pandemic would have been gone by now. The steps he called for were highly successful in other countries, which are now opened safely.

if I remember right she's is/was in charge of a large christian home schooling group.

Don't see any proof there.

Teachers seem to be ok with her.
Since they are closer to the issues at hand
I'll go with them.

No one that I know believes that
or has even heard of it.

Biden forgets what he stated in the past.

Here's another interview where DeVos is asked about schools in 'hot spots'. Notice that she says, in that case, a school could close for a 'couple of days'. Does she think that she's being asked about an outbreak in school rather than the whole district, city, or even state as is happening now in several states?

Beginning at 8 mins.

It took NY 111 days to return to the situation before they shut the school down. Is that what she means by "a few days"?

 

[ZNP]

It doesn’t appear that temperature checks are that useful. Smell tests, however, seem like they may be really useful. Fever checks can't catch all Covid-19 cases. Smell tests might help

Very effective to see who has been washing their hands and taking regular showers.

I don't think so. She literally said, "a couple of days." Like long enough to clean and sanitize.

She's Dreaming

when it comes to Children and the virus other nations should be listened to. Yes like you I keep readying how more cases are being reported.. ok.. how many deaths? Yeah.. that is not going up.. its still going down.

So yes.. open them up

 

[Arc F1]

Yeah....not like forcing the economy open isn't causing problems...oh wait it is. How long can the economies of arizona/texas/florida last.

Not much longer if they don't start getting revenue.

So, you're voting for JoJo? No other candidate for the presidency has any measure of intelligence or humility up to the task.

Deaths are starting to increase in some states. That's how diseases work. You get more cases, THEN you get more deaths. Stop merely parroting political talking points:

I don't understand why alarms aren't going off all over the place. I'm looking at the numbers and wondering when the hammer will fall. Massive debt can only continue for so long. I would start stuffing my mattress with money but I'm afraid its not going to have much value.

Hard to vote for a guy locked in the basement.

Of course the White House
probably has a nice big one.

Go to the thread "Let's talk about economic collapse", the alarms are going off all over the place.

where are they going to get the revenues when no one wants to go out during a massive outbreak? Force everyone to shop?

My guess would be new taxes. I'm sure my property taxes will be going up first. Right now in my area I'm seeing spending staying at the same levels with no idea how it's going to be maintained. They are running on borrowed money.

yeah so in other words, reopened the economy only for it to colapse anyway and the hellscape they are could have been avoided.
