And states like FL let Covid get so out of control that tracing is impossible now. Who's going to track down all the contacts for 10,000 cases a day? Also tests are taking a week to process. By the time you get the results, it's too late. Welcome to Trump's America. We've fallen badly and can't get up. Besides the sickness and death our enemies have taken note too. Trump can't beat Covid, why should anyone think he's any better at beating them? The spike in Florida was when we opened the "meet market" bars and the people most affected were those customers. No shock there. Tracing is pretty silly when these people don't even know the real name of the ones they are dancing with, passing joints to, making out with and ****ing. |

When you are talking about 1000 kid schools and with busing, they are coming from 10 or 12 different neighborhoods, anyone with a modicum of knowledge of large number math knows contact tracing is a joke. It's a joke in FL because your governor and state screwed up badly. You can't contact trace when you have 10K new cases a day. But you can when you have a few hundred, like NJ, NY, CT. That was what the shutdown, the sheltering was supposed to achieve. We did it here. And we told you at the time what would happen. Instead of learning from China, South Korea, Taiwan, EU, NJ, NY, CT keep following Trump over the cliff. Tracing only works if each person has a manageable number of contacts and they can identify each one of them. With "kids" (well up into the millennials), that is ridiculous. The only thing we proved that worked is house arrest and banning any groups of people assembling along with closing any business that involves any close contact. I have been saying all along, as soon as you open those things up, that virus is still out there waiting for you and it only takes one infected person to start a wave. |

Forget science, just listen to the President, he knows best. https://www.politico.com/news/2020/0...ongress-367935 The White House is blocking CDC officials from testifying next week at a hearing on reopening schools, the House Education and Labor Committee told POLITICO on Friday. Separately, the CDC confirmed that more guidance for opening schools won't be released until later this month. Committee Chair Bobby Scott had invited CDC Director Robert Redfield, or a designee, to testify before the Early Childhood, Elementary and Secondary Education Subcommittee on July 23 at a hearing on safely reopening schools. " As school districts around the United States debate when and how to reopen schools, a large new study from South Korea offers a note of caution. It found that children between the ages of 10 and 19 can spread the virus at least as well as adults do, suggesting that middle and high schools in particular may seed new clusters of infection. Children younger than 10 transmit to others much less often, the study found, although the risk is not zero. That is consistent with what many other studies have reported. Several experts said that the study was carefully done and that the results suggested schools should have concrete plans in place for dealing with outbreaks before reopening. I fear that there has been this sense that kids just wont get infected or dont get infected in the same way as adults and that, therefore, theyre almost like a bubbled population, said Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota. There will be transmission, Dr. Osterholm said. What we have to do is accept that now and include that in our plans. We know that there is transmission, 165 positives in one of our schools and Israel has had a much worse result in their schools now. Add to that, a whole lot of states are still living with busing orders left over from 50 years ago and the kids in schools are not even grouped by neighborhoods. One outbreak in a government desegregated school will quickly spread out across the county on crowded school buses. I can't think of a better way to distribute a virus. |

Thats very arguable indeed with the massive numbers seen with ag labourers. |

When you are talking about 1000 kid schools and with busing, they are coming from 10 or 12 different neighborhoods, anyone with a modicum of knowledge of large number math knows contact tracing is a joke. Contact tracing does not only apply to kids. If the kids are the vector, as this thread implies, my statement stands. You have 1000 kids per school from a dozen different neighborhoods scattered out across the county who are in different groups, close together (different classes, different buses and different play groups at home), How many contacts do you think are in that tree alone. Then toss in everyone else in those 12,000 homes who probably work in jobs with dozens if not hundreds of contacts. The numbers are incomprehensible. That is why I tend to agree, schools might be a dangerous place to experiment. Unfortunately the alternative is pretty ugly too because the kids worst affected by a deficient education are exactly the ones from the families most at risk, both from the virus but also from crime, poverty and drug abuse. Nobody wants to talk about that. My Catholic high school had 3200 boys, the girls school had near that and the public school 2500. What do you want to track? That is just one portion of Philadelphia. |

Thats very arguable indeed with the massive numbers seen with ag labourers. The ag labor problem predated the real spike but it was a factor. It was the Anglo millennials who spiked the coastal counties. Whether that was the source of the infections that permeated the clubs is very possible tho. They did open the Immokalee (ag area) casino right about then. A lot of those same latinos, do work as cleaners and kitchen help in the casino. |

Do you really think a teenager will tell anyone where he actually was all day? That is particularly true of the most at risk kids. Good luck with fast, accurate, and cheap testing. That's like the old engineering joke that has 'pick any two' as the punchline. There was an article about testing employees. It said the tests ran $100 a pop and the insurance companies were coming up with new, creative ways to not pay for them. So, you test 50 employees this week for $5,000. You're not done by any means. When do you retest? Next week? Tomorrow? Now think about a school with a couple of thousand kids. What's your plan, Bob F? Have real testing and tracking so when you get the numbers down, you can keep them down, instead of trumps method of giving up, setting the virus free, and pretending it would go away. Testing and tracking means EVERY case possible. Most other countries are managing a pretty good job of it. The US is doing crap. When you are talking about 1000 kid schools and with busing, they are coming from 10 or 12 different neighborhoods, anyone with a modicum of knowledge of large number math knows contact tracing is a joke. It's a joke in FL because your governor and state screwed up badly. You can't contact trace when you have 10K new cases a day. But you can when you have a few hundred, like NJ, NY, CT. That was what the shutdown, the sheltering was supposed to achieve. We did it here. And we told you at the time what would happen. Instead of learning from China, South Korea, Taiwan, EU, NJ, NY, CT keep following Trump over the cliff. Tracing only works if each person has a manageable number of contacts and they can identify each one of them. With "kids" (well up into the millennials), that is ridiculous. The only thing we proved that worked is house arrest and banning any groups of people assembling along with closing any business that involves any close contact. I have been saying all along, as soon as you open those things up, that virus is still out there waiting for you and it only takes one infected person to start a wave. How odd that it didnt in New Zealand or Taiwan or Vietnam. We never had any meaningful quarantines or travel restrictions. |

When you are talking about 1000 kid schools and with busing, they are coming from 10 or 12 different neighborhoods, anyone with a modicum of knowledge of large number math knows contact tracing is a joke. Contact tracing does not only apply to kids. If the kids are the vector, as this thread implies, my statement stands. You have 1000 kids per school from a dozen different neighborhoods scattered out across the county who are in different groups, close together (different classes, different buses and different play groups at home), How many contacts do you think are in that tree alone. Then toss in everyone else in those 12,000 homes who probably work in jobs with dozens if not hundreds of contacts. The numbers are incomprehensible. That is why I tend to agree, schools might be a dangerous place to experiment. Unfortunately the alternative is pretty ugly too because the kids worst affected by a deficient education are exactly the ones from the families most at risk, both from the virus but also from crime, poverty and drug abuse. Nobody wants to talk about that. My Catholic high school had 3200 boys, the girls school had near that and the public school 2500. What do you want to track? That is just one portion of Philadelphia. A private school, pulling kids in from all over the city might actually be a pretty good analog but the public system multiplies that by dozens of schools Lee County has 49 elementary schools, 20 middle schools and 15 high schools (some bigger than others, particularly at the elementary level) We have total "school choice". You can pretty much go to any school in the county you want with a few restrictions. The District has "718 school buses transporting students to schools and home ... traveling over 12.3 million miles each school year". (from their web site). Some buses can hold 72 kids. Track that. |

And states like FL let Covid get so out of control that tracing is impossible now. Who's going to track down all the contacts for 10,000 cases a day? Also tests are taking a week to process. By the time you get the results, it's too late. Welcome to Trump's America. We've fallen badly and can't get up. Besides the sickness and death our enemies have taken note too. Trump can't beat Covid, why should anyone think he's any better at beating them? The spike in Florida was when we opened the "meet market" bars and the people most affected were those customers. Thats very arguable indeed with the massive numbers seen with ag labourers. The ag labor problem predated the real spike but it was a factor. Yep, the real terminal stupidity was pulling the plug on the lockdown FAR too early. If Florida was a country it would in fact be the fourth worst result in the entire ****ing world. And it isnt a spike either, it is in fact a complete disaster even worse then China or Italy got. It was the Anglo millennials who spiked the coastal counties. But those are only a small part of Florida. Whether that was the source of the infections that permeated the clubs is very possible tho. Yes, but it remains to be seen if those are the main problem. They did open the Immokalee (ag area) casino right about then. A lot of those same latinos, do work as cleaners and kitchen help in the casino. And it remains to be seen what disneyland etc will do. It may work out not so bad because they are mostly outside, but that remains to be seen. |

Not because of the kids but because of the moron in the WH. We still do not have adequate testing. It takes a week to get results, which is too long for contact tracing to work. Also, contact tracing can't be done when you have 10K cases a day like you do in FL. With 300, like here in NJ, it is being done. The only thing we proved that worked is house arrest and banning any groups of people assembling along with closing any business that involves any close contact. There never was any house arrest. We put it down here in NJ, so did NY, CT, China, Taiwan, South Korea. Trump, FL, TX, and the like failed because they refused to do what works. I have been saying all along, as soon as you open those things up, that virus is still out there waiting for you and it only takes one infected person to start a wave. Yet so far that has not happened here in NJ, NY, CT, not even in crowded NYC. And none of those, none of the countries that have put it down, have it down to zero either. But they do have it done to very low levels, proving one person does not start another wave. We never put down the first wave, that's the problem. |

No, we can't look at Israel, learn what they did, learn what works, what doesn't.* No, No, No.* This is AMERICA, we're the best, screw the rest. That's Dear Leader and the New Republican Party.* If we had only looked at China, South Korea, Taiwan, EU and learned we wouldn't be totally screwed now with Covid. If trump wants to open schools, he need to get testing and tracking working. The longer he waits, the harder it will be to open anything up safely. How do you test and track kids who are in a school with 1000 others who are in the wild for the other 18 hours a day? Do you really think a teenager will tell anyone where he actually was all day? That is particularly true of the most at risk kids. Good luck with fast, accurate, and cheap testing. That's like the old engineering joke that has 'pick any two' as the punchline. There was an article about testing employees. It said the tests ran $100 a pop and the insurance companies were coming up with new, creative ways to not pay for them. So, you test 50 employees this week for $5,000. You're not done by any means. When do you retest? Next week? Tomorrow? Now think about a school with a couple of thousand kids. What's your plan, Bob F? Have real testing and tracking so when you get the numbers down, you can keep them down, instead of trumps method of giving up, setting the virus free, and pretending it would go away. Testing and tracking means EVERY case possible. Most other countries are managing a pretty good job of it. The US is doing crap. And states like FL let Covid get so out of control that tracing is impossible now. Who's going to track down all the contacts for 10,000 cases a day? Also tests are taking a week to process. By the time you get the results, it's too late. Welcome to Trump's America. We've fallen badly and can't get up. Besides the sickness and death our enemies have taken note too. Trump can't beat Covid, why should anyone think he's any better at beating them? The spike in Florida was when we opened the "meet market" bars and the people most affected were those customers. No shock there. Yes it is shocking that you have a governor that stupid. Tracing is pretty silly when these people don't even know the real name of the ones they are dancing with, passing joints to, making out with and ****ing. Yet South Korea successfully handled exactly that. My how the US, the country that put man on the moon, has fallen. We can't get up. That problem will start to be fixed Jan 2021. |

That is pretty hard to do with 30-40 kids in a crowded classroom or 75 kids on a bus. Once they get to 7th grade they are also going to different classes 6 or 7 times a day, increasing the mix. You also seem to have a lot more faith in the school's ability to enforce masks and distancing. They have enough trouble keeping them from smoking dope and having sex in the bathrooms. It works in the other countries that have flattened (and in some cases eliminated) the curve. The cases were under control before the schools were opened. And that is EXACTLY what trump is ordering states not to do. Yeah, I was thinking that too. Interesting that Fretwell hasn't pointed out that Trump is the one demanding that all schools must open. Threatening to cut funding if they don't, regardless of the infection rate, the situation in the actual schools. |

Explain why the hospitals have been filling up in some states. Many have controlled it but some are losing the battle. Florida was not too bad in April but 52 hospitals now have no ICU beds. Surely you can see that is not good. |

Testing and tracking means EVERY case possible. Most other countries are managing a pretty good job of it. The US is doing crap. When you are talking about 1000 kid schools and with busing, they are coming from 10 or 12 different neighborhoods, anyone with a modicum of knowledge of large number math knows contact tracing is a joke. Contact tracing does not only apply to kids. If the kids are the vector, as this thread implies, my statement stands. You have 1000 kids per school from a dozen different neighborhoods scattered out across the county who are in different groups, close together (different classes, different buses and different play groups at home), How many contacts do you think are in that tree alone. Then toss in everyone else in those 12,000 homes who probably work in jobs with dozens if not hundreds of contacts. The numbers are incomprehensible. That is why I tend to agree, schools might be a dangerous place to experiment. Unfortunately the alternative is pretty ugly too because the kids worst affected by a deficient education are exactly the ones from the families most at risk, both from the virus but also from crime, poverty and drug abuse. Nobody wants to talk about that. My Catholic high school had 3200 boys, the girls school had near that and the public school 2500. What do you want to track? That is just one portion of Philadelphia. A private school, pulling kids in from all over the city might actually be a pretty good analog but the public system multiplies that by dozens of schools Lee County has 49 elementary schools, 20 middle schools and 15 high schools (some bigger than others, particularly at the elementary level) We have total "school choice". You can pretty much go to any school in the county you want with a few restrictions. The District has "718 school buses transporting students to schools and home ... traveling over 12.3 million miles each school year". (from their web site). Some buses can hold 72 kids. Track that. And again, it is not about testing all the kids. It is about having an adequate testing and tracking system on top of having controlled the virus so that you can test and track and keep up with the virus. Europe is doing that. China and Korea are, and many other countries are doing that. But the Repubs have ignored, poo-pooed, and dismissed this very basic process to stop covid. If you put 1000 kids in a school and stir them up all day, When you went to school did you have contact with the entire school? I sure didn't. then put them on buses and scatter them across the county in no logical orderu Wow, things must be really more screwed in FL than I thought. You just load kids on buses and scatter them everywhere in no logical order? any meaningful tracking would have to include all of them as a group. Then you would have to trace all of their friends in the neighborhood that they don't go to school with and the family. How many other countries have the level of cross county busing as the US does, particularly in states that lived under deseg orders for 30 years? Our school bus system logs 12.6 million miles a year shuttling kids around for 180 days of classes. That is 70,000 miles a day using over 700 buses. (from the Lee school board web site) You know, maybe Trump should just pick a day for the whole country to commit mass suicide. We might as well, it's all hopeless. The country that won WWII and put man on the moon is incapable of tracking, incapable of social distancing, incapable of wearing masks. Let;s all just kill our selves. Or we could look at China, South Korea, Taiwan, City of Hong Kong, NY, NJ, CT and learn. This refusal to learn from other countries that are obviously doing better than we are is what some Trump supporters call 'putting America first.' It doesn't seem like it's working out very well. |

Nobody wants to talk about that. My Catholic high school had 3200 boys, the girls school had near that and the public school 2500. What do you want to track? That is just one portion of Philadelphia. A private school, pulling kids in from all over the city might actually be a pretty good analog but the public system multiplies that by dozens of schools Lee County has 49 elementary schools, 20 middle schools and 15 high schools (some bigger than others, particularly at the elementary level) We have total "school choice". You can pretty much go to any school in the county you want with a few restrictions. The District has "718 school buses transporting students to schools and home ... traveling over 12.3 million miles each school year". (from their web site). Some buses can hold 72 kids. Track that. And again, it is not about testing all the kids. It is about having an adequate testing and tracking system on top of having controlled the virus so that you can test and track and keep up with the virus. Europe is doing that. China and Korea are, and many other countries are doing that. But the Repubs have ignored, poo-pooed, and dismissed this very basic process to stop covid. If you put 1000 kids in a school and stir them up all day, When you went to school did you have contact with the entire school? I sure didn't. then put them on buses and scatter them across the county in no logical orderu Wow, things must be really more screwed in FL than I thought. You just load kids on buses and scatter them everywhere in no logical order? Blame the DoJ. It was the desegregation orders that caused us to go to free school choice, just to get them off our back. |

If you put 1000 kids in a school and stir them up all day, Strawman noted. And particularly in the days of SARS-CoV-2, there will be social distancing and masks for 3-12th graders, so contact tracing will be much more practical than you think. That is pretty hard to do with 30-40 kids in a crowded classroom or 75 kids on a bus. Once they get to 7th grade they are also going to different classes 6 or 7 times a day, increasing the mix. You also seem to have a lot more faith in the school's ability to enforce masks and distancing. They have enough trouble keeping them from smoking dope and having sex in the bathrooms. It works in the other countries that have flattened (and in some cases eliminated) the curve. The cases were under control before the schools were opened. And that is EXACTLY what trump is ordering states not to do. Yeah, I was thinking that too. Interesting that Fretwell hasn't pointed out that Trump is the one demanding that all schools must open. Threatening to cut funding if they don't, regardless of the infection rate, the situation in the actual schools. Actually I named Trump and DeVos specifically in this thread but your knee can't stop jerking. |

No classroom or playground activities for a year or two might make for a generation of weird people. Or weirder, I should say. Kids parents and grandparents dying is anti-social too. Bu no, the Repubs want to rush schools open in a major pandemic blowup, even after Israel proved it doesn't go well. This thing is not in control, which is absolutely necessary before opening schools. No, we can't look at Israel, learn what they did, learn what works, what doesn't.* No, No, No.* This is AMERICA, we're the best, screw the rest. That's Dear Leader and the New Republican Party.* If we had only looked at China, South Korea, Taiwan, EU and learned we wouldn't be totally screwed now with Covid. If trump wants to open schools, he need to get testing and tracking working. The longer he waits, the harder it will be to open anything up safely. How do you test and track kids who are in a school with 1000 others who are in the wild for the other 18 hours a day? Do you really think a teenager will tell anyone where he actually was all day? That is particularly true of the most at risk kids. Good luck with fast, accurate, and cheap testing. That's like the old engineering joke that has 'pick any two' as the punchline. There was an article about testing employees. It said the tests ran $100 a pop and the insurance companies were coming up with new, creative ways to not pay for them. So, you test 50 employees this week for $5,000. You're not done by any means. When do you retest? Next week? Tomorrow? Now think about a school with a couple of thousand kids. What's your plan, Bob F? Have real testing and tracking so when you get the numbers down, you can keep them down, instead of trumps method of giving up, setting the virus free, and pretending it would go away. Testing and tracking means EVERY case possible. Most other countries are managing a pretty good job of it. The US is doing crap. And states like FL let Covid get so out of control that tracing is impossible now. Who's going to track down all the contacts for 10,000 cases a day? Also tests are taking a week to process. By the time you get the results, it's too late. Welcome to Trump's America. We've fallen badly and can't get up. Besides the sickness and death our enemies have taken note too. Trump can't beat Covid, why should anyone think he's any better at beating them? The spike in Florida was when we opened the "meet market" bars and the people most affected were those customers. No shock there. Yes it is shocking that you have a governor that stupid. Tracing is pretty silly when these people don't even know the real name of the ones they are dancing with, passing joints to, making out with and ****ing. Yet South Korea successfully handled exactly that. My how the US, the country that put man on the moon, has fallen. We can't get up. That problem will start to be fixed Jan 2021. This ain't Korea. We have proven that. Too bad. +1 Flights to Korea leave JFK every day. Don't let the door hit you in the ass. |

All that means is that we tested = 10,000 people,* MSM has a fresh fearmongering statistic and that some medical supply company is laughing all the way to the bank. Explain why the hospitals have been filling up in some states. Many have controlled it but some are losing the battle. Florida was not too bad in April but 52 hospitals now have no ICU beds. Surely you can see that is not good. It simply points out what I have been saying all along. That virus is still out there, just waiting until we open up. The states you like to tout, are still locked down. I bet after watching Florida, New York bars will be closed for a while. |

Socialization is overrated when it comes to putting kids in public schools. Kids get socialized in many different real life scenarios just fine w/o ever being in a public or private school classroom. Not if they have been under house arrest for the last 4 months, only getting out for "essential" trips. If you are letting them run around with their friends it is pretty much like school. Kids adapt much better and easier than adults do. -- Maggie |
