I like the idea of districts deciding for themselves. If the parents and board in a district want to open their schools, let them. Joy and freedom matter. A lot. We seem to have forgotten those here in the USA.
Go out, sing some songs, hug some friends, make out in public. This virus is over. If we keep going along with these totalitarian measures to the point of harming a global generation of children, there will be no end to "deadly" viruses.
Hydroxychloriquine could save thousands upon thousands of lives. Let us have it, open the schools and businesses all the way, and see if we don't have better results than the dismal ones we have had locking down the world and denying many of us access to a known effective treatment.
There’s a lot to be said for the power of magical thinking.
There's also a lot to be said for the stats that show it's over. Deaths and hospitalizations from covid are very low now. Deaths from all causes is down to normal for this time of year, and have been for over a month now. We fear this virus to the point of harming ourselves far more than the virus ever could. Time to open everything and stop letting a virus ruin everything we have worked for or gives our lives meaning. This is absurd,
Your stats versus the stats from the scientists seem to be much different.
For every scientist there is an opposite but equal scientist
That would explain why so many mathematicians understand that 2+2=5.
It can be done, easily. Depends on how you define "+". So right now things depend on how you define "health", and "trust" and "truth" and such things. The definition, imo, that we all need desperately to have some discussion of is that of "freedom". Cuz this here is not freedom. It's totalitarianism through medical tyranny. It's a nifty trick they got us on this time.
The same medical tyranny that would undoubtedly do its best to save your life in the event you contracted COVID. I would say the "+" sign is pretty solidly defined as is. 2+2=4 would be an example of how I define truth.
And while I am at it, the magical thinking that is going on here involves putting all of our trust in a medical industry that still, after more than seven months of this, has not found one single thing they can do to give us hope of survival. Not only do they not have anything, they are blocking us from using a very effective and inexpensive treatment. Why are we letting the medical industry deprive us of our freedom?
