Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

For what it's worth, there's also a shortage of smaller Covid friendly turkeys.

 

The author makes good points. The strategies he suggests for keeping schools open require alternative and additional classroom space and testing. These things require federal funding, which the Trumpist klan has no interest in delivering. Republicans’ traditional contempt for education, if combined with a determination to torpedo Biden, will prevent this support from arriving.
This piece makes it clear that schools can’t stay open without federal help. It is not a pure, Trumpist, thoughtless decree that Schools Must Stay Open.
I remain fascinated by Trumpists’ sudden interest in education.

 

In Ohio (and I'd bet it's the same throughout much of the Midwest), there's a good chunk of people who don't wear masks in public. In my outings, I saw the numbers increase slowly through September or October. As much as 50 percent of fans at high school tournament games I covered weren't wearing them.

The rapid increase in cases is attributable to large private gatherings, which have been moving inside in the last month in this part of the country. But the initial infections are (still) happening in public settings.

And if that's the rub, BTE, why is Ohio (or Michigan, or Indiana, or...) posting thousands more cases a day than New York? People aren't getting together at private settings there? It couldn't have anything to do with tougher restrictions issued by Cuomo and more enforcement of mask policies by officials there, could it?

Nah. Ohio must have more fat people.

 

Perhaps not. Or not nearly as often.

NY is a more liberal state than Ohio or Indiana. I suspect its residents by and large are taking more proactive measures, with or without government intervention. Hell, there are tons of NYers on this board. All I hear is "I haven't seen my (insert family member here) in months and don't know when I will." They're making those decisions on their own.

Oh, and because you asked. Yeah, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan are fatter than New York.

 

I don't believe it!

 

Here we go again.

Yep. One of my customers (Safeway) asked about this yesterday.

 

Out of 11.3 million cases. But "kids don't get the 'rona". Thank goodness that their cases are generally less severe.
