Yes people here with heads in the sand. What i am saying is that despite the growing surge of COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations throughout the country, including among children, the Biden administration is doubling down on its demand that schools fully reopen. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona stated Sunday on CBS’s Face the Nation, “50 million students across the country are ready to return to school in-person.” Many school districts have already fully reopened in recent weeks, with the vast majority of districts slated to do so by mid-September with very limited or no options for remote learning.
Where did you get that President Biden is the one demanding that schools reopen? I don’t think he ever demanded they reopen. Last I knew it was Repugs, especially states ran by Repugs, demanding schools reopen.
It is as Write4u posted- the Repugs who are wanting to spread the virus far and wide by forcing schools to reopen, not President Biden.
I dropped a name - Miguel Cardona. Also
on Friday, White House press secretary Jen Psaki stated bluntly, “We’re not going to lock down our economy or our schools because our country is in a much stronger place than when we took office.” She added, “We are not going back. We are not turning back the clock.”
I want to believe Psaki. We do not need to go back to remote learning.
That was not saying schools are going to be fully open though.
Don’t know what you mean by not fully open. The drive to reopen schools has never been based on science. It is, rather, motivated solely by the economic interests of the financial oligarchy.
If children are not at school, then their parents have to stay home to watch them and are unable to work and produce profits for the major corporations. This has been a major concern throughout the pandemic, with Biden’s top economic advisor Brian Deese recently stating that one of the primary factors behind the ongoing “labor shortage” has been a lack of “childcare and school, particularly for parents of school-aged kids.

COVID-19 mask use in the U.S.: About 98% of ALL manufactured “Covid face masks” are of home -made quality and are useless and ineffective in protecting people from C-19 virus transmission. The coveted N-95 mask product is critically questionable in it’s virus prevention/protection.
Masks won’t save a soul from Covid-19.
Vaccinations world-wide–let’s focus on the U.S.:
Vaccines will NOT CURE OR PREVENT COVID-19 ATTACKS; these vaccines WILL HOWEVER LESSEN AND SAFELY ABATE the SEVERITY of COVID-19.
What we’re NOT learning yet from COVID-19: Right now, world-wide–millions of people are walking around, showing all symptoms of being healthy—yet they in fact have CRITICALLY LOW IMMUNE SYSTEMS–people who have NOT YET been hit with COVID.
Forget the sudden Covid variants–there’s only ONE Covid virus model…and I call it The Bell Ringer: Snag THAT one with a low immune system–and you’re dead–exactly what the CCP bio-engineered SARS 1 AND COVID-19 ( SARS 2 ) bio-weapon models were designed to do : SEEK OUT THE WEAK ENEMY…AND KILL THEM.
I do NOT hold any confidence in using face masks–and I will remain skeptical of face mask use until I see the fully guaranteed fully protective face mask product endorsed by the CDC; I’ve yet to see it. And even IF that hit consumer markets, think how expensive just ONE would be.
I’m fully vaccinated and I have COVID anti-bodies, yet I am aware I’m NOT shielded from COVID. As a fully vaccinated person, I also maintain a focused regimen of daily natural immune building vitamin doses and supplements; scoff at me if you wish—but living like a reclusive shell crab AND STILL CATCH COVID hasn’t worked out well for those folks, has it??
Again: My best personal health focus efforts AND covid vaccines WILL NOT prevent COVID attack–but it WILL lessen the hit and provide decent survival chances.
A full functional COVID CURE? We don’t have ANY virus cure for the ones roaming Earth for centuries, so I doubt we’ll see a COVID cure. Even IF one was made, it’d be out-of-reach over priced.
That’s how ugly our country—and our world—is and will be throughout my lifetime.
That’s a generically true statement about viral diseases. It says nothing about the risk of contraction or the risk of dying. There is no reasoning involved without considering those factors. I thought you were going to link to a vitamin website there for a second, but you didn’t, which is good, because we ban those immediately.
Ah, Mr lausten…so it’s REASONING you seek of anything connected to COVID-19; we all CANNOT acquire any degree of REASONING about COVID matters beyond our control.
If you blindly TRUST the information presented to you about COVID-19, then so be it.
There is so much rampant disinformation blended with the politicization of COVID-19, we may NEVER know the ACCURATE virus contraction risks —or ACCURATE fatality totals from the fallen WHO ACTUALLY DIED FROM COVID-19.
It’s safe to assume, Mr. lausten, I am skeptical about what we’re being fed about COVID-19. THE TRUTH about COVID-19 IS being kept from us all; frankly, I don’t think I want to know the EXACT truth about this virus.
You also need not worry, Mr lausten–I’m well aware of the forum parameters; I don’t cheap-shot push spam advertisements.
Although I live in a small country village–I am NOT the ‘village idiot’, Mr. lausten.

The trick is to find the one common truth from among a hundred rumors and lies.
Most likely that truth will be best known by bona fide scientists who have studied the subject.
Overflowing ERs, dying grandparents and children aren’t enough to convince you something is going on?
How accurate do you expect?
Not sure why “exact” is in caps, but I think I get the sentiment here.
I don’t “blindly” trust anything. I’ve developed, and continue to hone my discernment skills, knowing that I live in a world of bad information. I have a primer in my blog so I don’t have to write it up in conversations like this.

I want to know the whole truth about it. It wouldn’t surprise if China labs did have an issue OR the virus was in a U.S. lab and the Chinese took it home with them in form or the other. I don’t think anyone who gets COVID, actually survives it unskathed. So many people who get even a mild case of it, seem to have lasting health issues from it. That said, I continue to get most of my info on COVID-19 through JAMA, NEJM, Medscape, and alike. My doctor too. That said, I still suspect there is something about either the U.S. government or the China government or both that caused it during the dotard’s nightmare reign and the last year of it at that. It’s like if war wouldn’t get him a second term, he thought a good pandemic would. He murdered, albeit indirectly, 500,000 people.

I do, the better information the more exact the science.
