Muh Muh Muh My Corona (virus)

A polar bear fell on me.

 

Interesting to see what happens if someone makes the announcement on the p.a. system that "nine of you may have the virus".

 

I’ve never let a missing bridge stop me before.

Why would Sen. Biden wear a mask in his own home basement?

 

We've touched on education here, but it looks like things are going to be far worse than I had realized. The strain that Covid-19 response has put on state budgets is enormous, and many states have balanced budget laws which will require cuts. Re-opening schools will require many changes in the name of safety, for the students and the (older) teachers and school employees, and those changes will cost money. I also have to wonder how many teachers who have been beaten down during shelter at home will look at the upcoming year and decide not to return. I suppose that there is so much unemployment that there will be significant pressure to stay over and above a sense of duty, but there will also be the pressure that risking their lives adds to the equation.

I'm hearing a figure on the order of $180 billion is needed from the federal government to get the states through, and the Republicans are already balking at any more big expenditures (other than more tax cuts, which they can always afford). Traditional back to school is less than three months away. That's not a lot of time for Congress to get it together and come up with a workable program and fund it. The various states will also need to draw up priorities and a plan of action. This looks like a big bloody mess is incoming, and while I'm certain that school administrators are frantically trying to figure it out, our legislators are in an election year.

Not good.

The truth is most American adults don't give a shit about children. Their health, their education, anything. If it costs them a dime that's not spent on themselves, fuck it, it's Communism. Besides, many children aren't white.

 

Glad you survived, @Hermes
