President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

"the sane"

sure, but if you lift restrictions too early, you simply consign us all to a longer quarantine

how's that national testing program coming?

 

Or we open schools year round and students attend one day in three. That would keep class sizes down to 10.

You could also do away with all PE, arts, music, band, and other things and students attend every other day.

What you are looking to do is keep class sizes down to 10.

 

Sports was basically the first industry to shut down in this country because of COVID-19. What is true of economic downturns is probably going to be true here, in that the first ones in will be the last ones out. Everything else is going to return to some semblance of normal before the mass gatherings do.

 

You're also telling people they cannot attend church for 15 months.

Good luck with that at Christmas.

 

Governor Newsom was talking today what a restart might look like. He said it will likely include such things as fewer tables in restaurants, wait staff wearing masks and gloves and disposable menus. My thought would be electronic menus or a phone app would be better than disposable menus (cheaper in the long run). Just wipe down the tablet as you would the table after a customer leaves and you're good to go.

I agree, take out will be my go-to until I'm sure we're good. I actually have been enjoying getting take out from places I don't normally think of as take out.

 

There isn't a public school system in a city of over 500,000, hell, probably 250,000, that could get class sizes down to 10 no matter what they did.

 

Stagger start times for cohorts and higher more teachers.

 

We're either going to wait this out, or keep re-infecting one another.

Your choice.

 

You could. It just takes sacrifice.

Elem school teacher has 20 in her class. She sees 10 in the morning and 10 in the afternoon or 10 one day and 10 the next.

Middle school teacher has 150 students. He would see 50 one day, 50 the next and 50 the next in groups of 10 in 60 minutes classes.

High school te same way.

 

We were always going to keep infecting each other. This is called "flattening the curve" not stay inside until no one is in the hospital with it anymore.

 

We got through Easter without being in the building. We can get through Christmas as well.

Heck, a lot of churches are getting more virtual attendees than actual people through the doors.

 

Hire more teachers? With what tax dollars since everyone is locked inside?
