Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

The thing with schools is that if there is an outbreak, schools can be shut down on a dime and teachers will still get paid. Schools are probably about the easiest thing to shut down quickly.

 

would be a bit late for the teachers who already got it.
But even accepting your premise, a senator talking like that is embarrassing.

 

"Trump Virus". Rolls better than kung flu.

The senator was speaking to those people using children as political pawns, not to those people with reasonable concerns about reopening. And IMO he’s justified in some salty language when speaking on the subject.

 

apparently for repub leaders teachers can kiss their a**.

 

Do they run ads on tv? Never see them and we’re in a battleground state.

Seward Harbor. 12 foot tides are not uncommon. all the docks and walkways float and the walkways can get quite steep on low tide. Makes pushing a cart full of fish up to the dock a real physical challenge when the cart is full of big halibut. Seward is one of my favorite small towns anywhere.

I think they forgot to blow the wind of God first.

 

Because we opened too early and incorrectly. And without contact tracing. Most of the rest of the developed World got it right. Some of us were mocked repeatedly here for saying this would happen, but it was inevitable. And, while I is now right wing dogma to blame outside demonstrations, we have yet to see empirical dats supporting those claims. Just more right wing dogma. Sure would be better if these demonstrations weren’t happening. But the science is posting toward indoor lack of social distancing and failure to wear masks.

I get what he's saying, but I still disagree...in large part. Of course we don't want to get rid of data if we don't have to, but we often have to so that statistical technique produces valid results. Outliers muck it up. In any case, it just depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
