Only a fool would visit their relatives for easter. Killing grandma is not cool

We'll see how things are. Maybe the President is hopeful to give us a gift of relaxing things for an important holiday.

There are people who regard Easter as important. Maybe not in the communist community...the President hopes to give people an opportunity for families to get together.

Small gatherings of immediate family members is an element of life minorly affected by this right now. Many immediate family members are isolating together because they live together.

Would it be wise to travel and see family members you don't live with? No. Is it worth risking the health of the nation by setting an arbitrary isolation cutoff date so that people can see their whole family for Easter? I sure don't think so.

As for the communist quip, you continue to dig your hole deeper. Your credibility is in the negative at this point. You've moved from "annoyingly ignorant and stubborn" to " radicalized, willfully ignorant, contemptible and insufferable".

I do have an issue with how some of these SDs and teachers are still engaging with the kids.

For example, Some SDs aren't doing a ****ing thing. As far as they are concerned, school year is over. My niece and nephew fall in to that category. That does not bode well for them next fall when they go back and are in the next grade as they will be behind.

My kid's SD has teachers who are still teaching, doing periodic Zoom sessions, distributing HW, still getting quizzes and tests, etc. I.E. they are still learning.

wow that’s news to me about some districts doing nothing. Maybe they are just behind in setting it up.

That's not martial law...martial law is the military basically locking the country down. You will see the national guard and army standing outside your home making sure that you don't leave. And if you do leave you'll get arrested.

Lmao, yea this isn't China, thanks for letting us know genius.

Trump has nothing to do with it. Go visit your family. I hope it turns out okay for you. I will not be doing that until I am certain that neither me nor my family is carrying the virus.

Not sure. I'm in central MA. The SD my niece and nephew are in is a rock-solid SD. Well run. High % kids going on to 4yr schools. Technically advanced but yet they are doing nothing to educate these kids.

For some SDs it is literally against the law for them to do much of anything. Since not all kids have computers, since some kids are special ed and/or are on IEPs they can't legally teach anyone unless they can teach everyone, which they cannot do. That, for example, is what the MA Department of Education has told all MA school districts. They cannot provide instruction and cannot require anyone to learn (or try to learn) anything. All they can do is provide optional "enrichment" if they want to.

I saw an article the other day which I felt made a good case that any school district not going hands-off like that is in violation of federal law and could lose federal funding. And of course states are free to have even more strict egalitarian rules.

(As someone who thinks Harrison Bergeron should be satire, not reality, I think this is all ridiculous, but there we are.)

Or maybe it’s just natural selection taking its course???

Nothing is more important in the Restorationist community than the church, closely followed by the barbershop. The noble and worthy call upon Mr President to protect these sacred institutions.

 

[IcyPatriot]

are medical advancements part of natural evolution?

how about minimizing the problem?

I don't think they are ...
But we are a civilized society so we fight the natural selection of it all.

It would be hard for Grandma to be killed being run over by a rabbit

I get the issues. These kids are screwed next year.

just one post! Give me one that’s xenophobic. Please

I'm not going to accuse you of being xenophobic (I have no idea). However, we did have this discussion earlier in the thread over him calling it coronavirus when there were reports of asians being harrassed.

You along with several others blasted me because virus originated in China, and downplayed the harrassment. I dropped it recognizing the distraction that it was.

I recently linked an article showing how asians are buying guns like crazy to shoot people that threaten them. All of a sudden, Trump comes out no longer using coronavirus and saying he loves all asians and it's not their fault. Asians are all in; they own guns, Prez now loves them. Lmao

Oooooo ouch you got him good!

Here's the quote:

Dr. Fauci on working w/President Trump: "He asks a lot of questions. That's his nature. He's constantly asking questions. And I never, in the multiple times I've done that, where I said, 'For scientific reasons we really should do this,' that he hasn't said, 'Let's do it.'"

Asked about things that “are being said that aren’t true and aren’t factual” in a new interview with Science magazine, Fauci said he tells “the appropriate people” and they speak to Trump, “be careful about this and don’t say that. But I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down. OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.”
