The last two weekends, I was in Hickory county with zero cases recorded. We drove to a fireworks house both weekends and bought fireworks. Most of the people that were in the place were wearing masks. Including me and my friends. The workers were wearing masks about 50% of the time.
I've been to the dentist, they checked my temperature and wore masks. I've been to the eye doctor, they checked my temperature and wore masks. My eye doctor even used her fingers to open my eyes and get a good look while I was dialated. I don't feel violated nor do I feel that my rights were infringed upon. I went into their place of business and complied with the rules in place. Why is everyone making this some sort of major issue? What has happened to us, as Americans, who pride themselves on their freedoms, that we get so polarized and make this political when it's not a real big deal. |

I read a story today that Florida has had over 17k kids test positive for Covid. Yes kids probably statistically don’t suffer the worst parts of covid but those numbers tell me they get it and transmit just like adults
So I really don’t understand how in person school is going to happen because all it will take is 1 and it will spread like wild fire. Then they will have to shutdown the school for a period of time. |

But cities like New York, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, San Fran and others will have major issues if they try to open in the Fall and we'll see even more cases than we're seeing now, which are mostly due to states opening up in the past few weeks. |

Here's a nice scoreboard of vaccines in development.
I hate to say this, but I'm not sure that I trust a Chinese-developed vaccine. I'm hoping one of the American or European countries gets there first. https://www.theguardian.com/world/ng...e-to-a-vaccine |

There’s some good news for countries just beginning to reopen schools. Their European counterparts — such as Denmark, Austria and Germany — that began sending children back to classrooms in April and early May, haven’t seen significant increases in new cases. And experts are cautiously optimistic that sending children back to school may be relatively safe. https://www.cnn.com/2020/07/09/europ...ntl/index.html There is some stuff in that cnn link that goes along with the first but that is probably to political for this thread or the Lounge. |

And for kids going online the entire year the teachers wouldn't even have to be local. |
