By the time some one is real old, they have usually worked real hard to stay alive and somewhat less ill, and suffered from a little to a lot, along the way. They do not want to get really sick and possible die because of anyone's stupidity.Anyone.

Everything Republicans do in this context is designed to destroy our public education system, so sure, but on the other hand, the liability issues for church-run and private schools are going to be huge if they don't have ferocious masking, social-distancing, screening, and hygiene protocols in place.

Well, SARS actually did appear to mutate to harmlessness. But it created the infrastructure for a strong central response in Asia, and normalized wearing a mask when ill.

Trump Hopes Voters Will Just Forget COVID-19 Like Guy From ‘Memento'

Good luck with that, Donald. We Dems are all getting tattoos that say "Go to the polls and defeat him on 11/3."

Damned if this nation is gonna go the way of "Sammy Jankis."

It reminds me of Lincoln's often-overlooked "CIVIL WAR MUST STOP!!!" tweet.

Not to mention Lincoln's tweet: "'Sleepy' George McClellan is WEAK and SAD and bad for our troops. Should have fired him even before Antietam!!!"

Good news for the providers of online instruction. It'll be a fucking goldmine for them. The state will strip funding from schools in order to pay for wingnut curriculum.

I just spent $72 for coffee pods from Nepresso, since the machine won’t take any other pods and I panicked about running out of coffee because I am cooped like a chicken in my house because no one does masks and I have five of the six special vulnerabilities. And fixed income too, though I am spending less on gas these days. At least I don’t have to worry about the schools because both of my children are grown.
