    True. However, nobody wore masks or socially distanced during previous "cough and cold seasons." And flu is a hella lot less contagious (and deadly) than COVID. That gives me hope that good old cold and flu will be markedly down this winter.

    Overstating it just a bit, I'd say.

    Two days. Yeah, no one will transmit it when they go back Wednesday.

    You mean ... Betsy DeVos and Donald Trump didn't have a plan, either on how to reopen schools safely or how to deal with another outbreak?

    You mean they didn't think any child would contract the virus?

    No, they just didn't give a damn.

    They're going distance learning for two days, which says that they could have all along. I imagine the two days are about waiting on more tests to come back so they can see how bad it is.

    I'm sure that is part of it. They are also going to have to wait and see if any of the students or teachers who were exposed to someone with the virus starts to show symptoms. Honestly, they should be doing contact tracing and getting every one of those people tested.

    Scenes From a Biker Rally, Undaunted by the Virus

    “My biggest concern is drivers — they just don’t pay attention to bikes. But I don’t know one person in a six-state radius who has had Covid. I think it is all just political.”

    -------

    “You’ve got to be smart. I’ve got masks. When I walk around or ride around, I wear a mask.

    -------

    “I’m not convinced it’s real. I think it’s nothing more than the flu. If I die from the virus, it was just meant to be.”

    Back in my day we used to toss around rubber test tube stoppers. Man, did those things bounce in a funny way.

    But, teachers must have guns to defend campuses against grizzly bears!
