Three Arizona teachers who shared a classroom got coronavirus. One of them died
By Jennifer Henderson, CNN 1 hr ago


Three teachers who shared a summer classroom at a school in Arizona all contracted coronavirus last month, leaving one of them dead.


Kimberley Chavez Lopez Byrd, 61, died June 26, less than two weeks after she was hospitalized. The other two teachers -- Jena Martinez and Angela Skillings -- said they're still struggling with the effects of the virus that has killed nearly 135,000 people nationwide.

All three teachers wore masks and gloves, used hand sanitizer and socially distanced, but still got sick, according to school officials at the small community in the eastern part of the state.

Gregorich reiterated the three teachers were careful and still got Covid-19.


I think that's really the message or the concern that our staff has is we can't even keep our staff safe by themselves ... how are we going to keep 20 kids in a classroom safe? I just don't see how that's possible to do that," he said.

Byrd said reopening schools will put people in their small community at risk and he does not want to see other families go through a similar experience.

"Many grandparents, wind up being caretakers to kids when they get off school- mom and dad are working and a lot of grandparents are even raising their grandchildren. So, many of these grandparents fall into this high risk category of being older with more health issues," he said.

"They have no business opening the schools to try and get back to a traditional classroom ... let's get through this pandemic first before we try to get back to normal."

The Feds can provide funds directly to families so they can use them on private schools and charter schools. I’m not paying that union or it’s members a dime.

I don't think that would be within the realm of possibility.

Private schools and charter schools are still schools. If schools are ordered closed, well, there ya' go...

Apparently no kids came down with the disease. When do the medical geniuses who want to deprive kids of an education think we should reopen the schools?

Schools aren’t ordered closed. Their unions are demanding they close. It’s no different than a strike. So fuck em. No classes no money. No teaching no more union contract. Destroy them now.

IMHO there need to be an "infrastructure" funding initiative to improve HVAC systems in schools.
Apparently the virus thrives indoors.
So whatever they can do to reduce the viral loads in HVAC systems would be well worth it.
Schools need to open, but safely.

What HVAC? I'm dead serious: there are schools in this area that do not actually HAVE any HVAC system...just hot-water heating systems (usually baseboards).

Apparently no kids came down with the disease. When do the medical geniuses who want to deprive kids of an education think we should reopen the schools?

After the economy is destroyed and Trump loses the election.

OK, so they may need to add an air purification system to circulate and purify the air.
Or just add an HVAC system? Whatever makes sense.

Couldn't cost more than a couple of billion dollars. Get started now, the first one might be ready by September.

Of 2025. Maybe.

 

[Nosmo King]

So, the takeaway from this is that masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers don't work.

The takeaway is there has been an inept and irresponsible response from the federal government to mitigate this pandemic. European nations did the right thing and crushed the curve. As a result they can safely reopen. America can't.

And the blame falls squarely at the feet of Donald Trump. Face that fact.

Schools should NOT open until the virus in under control. NOTHING should be opening until you have the virus under control. Have you learned NOTHING from these wrong-headed attempts to re-open too soon?

You keep putting re-opening ahead of dealing with the virus, and it's failing spectacularly. The San Fransisco School Board held a meeting of school principals to discuss safe school re-openings and 40 principals are now in quarantine when one of the attendees tested positive.

Trump keeps focusing on the notions that children don't get the virus as easily, don't generally get as sick, and seldom die. This ignores certain other relevant facts:

1. We really don't know very much about how the virus affects children, especially why or how the virus affects the tiny handful who get REALLY sick.

2. Fully one third of teachers fall into "high risk" categoris for the disease either because they're over 50, or they have pre-existing conditions.

3. If you can't re-open states successfully and get adults to comply with wearing masks and social distancing, how do you expect children to do it?

 

[Dragonlady]

So, the takeaway from this is that masks, gloves, and hand sanitizers don't work.

As always with you fools, the exact opposit is true. All of these things work. That's why YOU have a problem - you stopped doing them after a couple of weeks.

 

[SmokeALib]

Schools need to be open - if for no other reason than to give these kids something to do. And in many cases, to get urban youth away from their non-parenting households. Call me racist if you like, but that's the flat out truth. It was bad enough when major amusement parks shut down over the summer. The one where I live is nothing but a giant babysitter.

Should all grocery stores be closed because store workers got corona and died.

Police officers died of Corona so abolish all cops

People in the military died of corona so give away all the weapons.

Keep snorting that heroin doofy

I'm afraid you don't understand the difference between ESSENTIAL SERVICES and NON-ESSENTIAL SERVICES. Or for that matter, EMERGENCY SERVICES and NON-EMERGENCY SERVICES.

1. Can the children of the United States survive without going to school for a year? YES

2. Can people, in an urban environment survive without getting FOOD from the grocery store? NO

3. Can most Americans survive without getting food from the Grocery store? NO

4. The Police force is necessary to defend communities from violence and death. Essential service that society depends on that must continue. Necessary for immediate survival.

5. The Military, same as the Police above.

For the average citizen to make it through to the summer of 2021, they need four things: food, water, shelter, and clothing. Isolate, and only go out to get those things.

Re-opening schools in the United States this fall, could double the infection and death rate in the country.

Sorry bonebrain, it has already been shown that kids are at minimal risk. We're not holding an entire nation hostage to a situation that doesn't even exist because one person died to assuage your pathetic fears of working. You're probably a teacher who just doesn't want to leave the cushy situation of "teaching by computer" to a real live classroom again.

Well, your definitely a person in Trump's true image. Ignorant to what is happening and the fact that the country is in the worst health crises it has experienced in 100 years.

Lesson #1. YOU KILL THE VIRUS FIRST. YOU KILL IT THROUGH ISOLATING PEOPE(HOST) from each other so the virus can't spread. When you do that, the virus dies. Its a like any FIRE, without oxygen, it dies. People are the oxygen for this virus.

Lesson #2. Kids are at risk, although less so than adults. That actually makes Kids the perfect spreaders. Better, to keep kids out of school for a year, then to have the kids kill Mommy and Daddy, because they got the virus at school. Better to stay out of school for year, then to make millions of children orphans and send them into foster care.

Keeping kids out of school for a year is NOT THE END OF THEIR EDUCATION! First things, first, you kill the virus, then you send the kids back to school.

You send kids back to school when it is SAFE to do so. You wouldn't send kids to school in a Hurricane, Tornado, Air Raid, or a Nuclear attack would you? You hunker down, Isolate, defeat the virus, then restart the schools.

 

[August West]

Apparently no kids came down with the disease. When do the medical geniuses who want to deprive kids of an education think we should reopen the schools?

When we get a handle on this thing obviously. If the schools are closed for a year does it really make that much difference? A "novel" coronavirus is a new strain not previously identified in humans.
