Here's our HS district plan. At least they are giving it a shot. There is an option for being at home as well.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I am not saying anyone here is necessarily hard left or right (but there are examples...) I have at least one friend who has quit Facebook over this. When I look at my feed (rarely) it is completely populated by those who say masks are BS, Covid is just the flu on one side and and those who don't th...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Goddamit does everything have to be political? Is there no one without a hard right or hard left agenda? To the lefties, I would say, send kids back to school. You have to assume there will never be an effective vaccine. Live with it and be safe, but not to the point of complete disruption. Or are y...

Re: George Floyd
What are the guidelines, and did the POLICE Follow them? I'm hoping there doesn't need to be a guideline against "kneel on the offender's neck until he's good and dead" But you are right: The manual of the Minneapolis Police Department states that neck restraints and chokeholds are basically reserv...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Regarding the risk of sending children back to school in-person, the evidence strongly suggests it's minimal. This study found that children under 16 years old account for < 2% of COVID cases , with "no documentation of child-to-child or child-to-adult transmission": https://pediatrics.aappublicati...

Re: Is Trump doing a good job?
Don't worry, this only stressed a few years of life out of these kids.

The decision comes a little over a week af...

That's right! You guys are underhandedly discriminating against us Italians!

jalanlong, I am sorry to hear that. I am in a suburb of Chicago. Most suburbs tend red around here, but I am sure nowhere like Texas. I have yet to find anyone hard against going back to school.

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
Why aren't more people speaking up about this? My sense is they are starting to speak up. Especially when it comes to schools. There is a very vocal minority about wanting online only, maybe in perpetuity. But the vast, currently mostly silent majority want schools to reopen. If it comes to a head,...

Re: Coronavirus General Discussion
I suppose the best thing about this is we do have strong disagreements and multiple opinions at the political and medical groups, so when this is all analyzed over the next few months we'll see where things fall. I feel better about there being disagreements vs. all being in the same boat, esp. when...

I know plenty of smart people who think that big government can solve all known problems. In fact big government creates many more problems than it solves, but that doesn't stop a lot of smart people from believing it. “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends o...

Interesting discussion of risks vs benefits of mask-wearing: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/07/to_mask_or_not_to_mask.html As a caution - the concept of pneumonia induced by mask-wearing is a hypothesis, not a proven fact. It sounds like there might be enough evidence to warrant a cl...

Everyone at the party was either an MD or a nurse practitioner, and all of us have spent time in and around COVID patients. I expected to hear and se...

Ah, the death knell. Last week, the president told Fox News Dr Fauci was "a nice man but he's made a lot of mistakes" Soon, Fauci will be a low IQ individual and in retirement.

Re: George Floyd
If the cop was genuinely concerned about Floyd's well being, did he remove his knee? Say a buddy of mine shoots someone through the heart. Fatal shot. But takes one minute to die. I shoot him again in the stomach. I'm free and clear, man! He was going to die anyway! How long was he on the ground unr...

The lockdowns were reasonable at the beginning, when it was about preventing hospitals from being overrun. That is no longer an issue and hasn't been for months.

Re: Some 2020 General Election Polls
I agree completely.
It seems that whenever that problem is raised, even by black men and women, you get crucified. It is like a third rail that is untouchable by anyone.
