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."

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

The reason why grocery store workers died is because there was no PPE for them.

NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO WORK UNTIL THIS VIRUS IS UNDER CONTROL PERIOD.

THE ONLY REASON TRUMP WANTS SCHOOLS TO OPEN IS TO FORCE LOW INCOME PARENTS TO GO BACK TO WORK. THERE IS NO REAL REASON TO FORCE CHILDREN BACK, OTHERWISE.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Attempting to force schools to open is just dumb and shortsighted.Americans have worked diligently for months to keep Covid out of their households. Sending kids back to school while cases are raging will only bring it to many of those households.

Of course, you can't justify your comments with other than the most rudimentary remarks.

And no, sending your kids to school does not do that.

Opening up didn't cause the spikes.

The spikes correlate much more closely with the riots you morons held as part of your butthurt brigaides.

Of course, you can't justify your comments with other than the most rudimentary remarks.

Yes, deliberately rudimentary. You dopes have trouble with complexity.
Common sense needs no justification.

Is that what you call what New York used ?

They are your relatives after all.

Is that what you call what New York used ?

They are your relatives after all

What does NY have to do with anything?
There's more new cases a day in Florida now than there ever were in NY. They'll have just as many cases as NY in about 10 days.

Schools being open equals normalcy and liberals can’t allow that

Schools opening doesn't equal "normalcy". It equals lunacy, to even contemplate it.

Let's be clear here. What used to be "normal" is gone - forever. This virus will always be with us, until there are both cures and vaccines. We're talking years.

So either you get with the program to shut this shit down HARD like we've done in the rest of the first world, or be prepared for YEARS of shut downs, outbreaks, and chaos. These are the ONLY choices you have.

Every other first world country - the ones with REAL leaders, has re-opened and re-opened safely. Only in the USA is the virus running unchecked. This is the abject failure of leadershipm but typical of the Trump Administration.

That reality is apparently far too scary for conservatives to acknowledge is real let alone work through with competence.

That is retarded, see in reality there is no way to know where an infected store worker spends the rest of their time. Your lame assumption is that an infected store worker must be infected in the store.

Now take your ignorant BS back to the trailer park where you learned it

Education is not a reason to open schools? Wow, who knew!

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

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...

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

Where did you dig up that bullshit? Schools were ordered closed by their governors in most cases. Why do make up suck outlandish lies?

In my state, teachers worked on-line and that takes more hours and more effort than being in the classroom.

Then you and your governor can pay them without any federal money.

And one more thing. All that bullshit about online university degrees not being as valuable or as good as the on campus ones? You just butt fucked that entire scam. If you can do online for the Kung Flu without sacrificing quality then you can do it all the time. And you can do it with 1/3 the teachers and 1/10 the administrators.

So keep talking teachers. The more you do the more obvious it becomes just how worthless your institutions and unions are.

Federal money goes to special education and poor students. Your typical run of the mill student does not see one cent of federal funds. If you knew anything about education you would not come across as a stupid jerk!

Those on-line university degrees and a buck will get you McDonald's soft drink and that us about it. Teachers who got their Master's on-line were considered ******* jokes by real teachers. My daughter-in-law got an on-line degree from the University of Phoenix and could not get an interview as a police officer because they considered it worthless. Now, even the VA will not allow you to take classes there. They are a scam of the highest order. The VA even gave her back her educational benefits because they were ripped off!

So all those billions of dollars going to the dept of Ed are just for retards and the poor. Good to know. Then you won’t miss it when we stop sending it. After all it doesn’t have any effect on the average student right?

And you done fucked yourself on online courses you moron. If it’s good enough so you can avoid the ******* Flu it’s good enough for everyone all the time.

And that holier than though bullshit you spouted about your daughter? That’s the reason you ***** need taken down a notch. You aren’t the end all be all to education. You’ve been doing a shit job of it for decades yet still think you’re special. You aren’t. Look at the shit you’ve produced running around rioting and looting. Not only should you be fired you should be made a spectacle of in the public square.

But fear not. As you’re thrown in the trash you can still be talking about how special you are.

Tell me where I was wrong instead of beating off against a wall, you ******* dumbass!

I retired as a teacher and now work for a defense contractor. Shove that up your ass and rotate on it!

It’s about time you finally did something with your life.

I am also former Navy, enlisted and officer. Now, what are your qualifications to pontificate on education?

Getting my kid through public school while making sure he knew the real history of the country and didn’t get caught up in the left wing bullshit people like you were teaching.

I taught history. There is no left wing bullshit in most public schools except in your imagination

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.

What which is essential can be properly operated and built by kids who no longer go to school to be educated?

Nothing now please resume snorting your heroin

First off, the ADULTS who worked in these jobs are all grown ups, who knew the risks associated with going out, and how to protect themselves, and even the people who knew what they were doing and what they needed to do to keep themselves safe, and thousands still died.

All OF THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD ARE MISSING SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. WHERE SCHOOLS ARE RE-OPENING, THE VIRUS HAS BEEN CONTAINED AND CASES ARE DECLINING. THIS IS NOT TRUE OF THE USA.

WHEN THE REST OF THE WORLD IS READY TO OPEN IT'S BORDERS TO AMERICANS, YOU MIGHT BE READY TO OPEN YOUR SCHOOLS. UNTIL THEN, STAY THE **** AT HOME. ALL OF YOU.

School opening equals normalcy for the kids and by extension, for the parents.

It looks like we're doing quite well compared to other nations. If New York hadn't screwed the pooch, it would be even better.

As for what was done by Democrats...

Democrat Response to Coronavirus: End Trump’s Travel Bans on China, Iran
JOHN BINDER 11 Mar 2020 2:58

House and Senate Democrats are responding to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States by supporting measures to effectively strip President Trump of his authority to impose travel bans to protect American citizens.

While Trump has implemented travel bans on China and Iran — two of the most coronavirus-affected nations in the world — House Democrats are looking to roll back the president’s authority to enact travel bans from regions of the world.

Dr. Ronny Jackson says Trump prevented American coronavirus pandemic on level of Italy, Iran
By Yael Halon | Fox News

Former White House physician Dr. Ronny Jackson praised President Trump Monday night after he announced a list of guidelines that he and the White House coronavirus task force hoped will slow the spread of the pandemic within 15 days.

"The president has done everything he needed to do in this case," Jackson told "Hannity". "He’s acted quickly and decisively. He did what he always has done ... he went with his instincts."

"He put together a top-notch team and he was criticized.... despite that, he carried on and did what he needed to do for our country. He put the [China] travel ban in place," he added.

Jackson said he does not expect the virus to spread at the rate that it has in places like Italy and Iran due to the president's "quick and decisive actions," notably his decision to restrict travel into the U.S. from China in late January.

Back in late February, 4 weeks after President Trump banned flights from China from entering the US, Speaker Pelosi was out urging tourists to hit San Francisco’s Chinatown.

Jan 31 — President Trump banned flights from China.
Feb. 5 — Democrats blasted President Trump for his China travel ban.
Feb 24 — Pelosi was pushing tourism to Chinatown.
March 13 — NY Mayor DeBlasio encourages New Yorkers to go about their daily lives as usual.

Last week Pelosi deleted a video of herself on Twitter walking around in Chinatown on February 24 downplaying the Coronavirus and urging people to “come to Chinatown.”

Journalists Forget Their Own Predictions: Millions of Americans to Die
Jeffrey Lord
May 30th, 2020 11:00 AM

From The New York Times on March 13: “As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die.”

From The New York Times on March 16: “Sweeping new federal recommendations announced on Monday for Americans to sharply limit their activities appeared to draw on a dire scientific report warning that, without action by the government and individuals to slow the spread of coronavirus and suppress new cases, 2.2 million people in the United States could die.”

From The Washington Post, March 19: “In the worst-case scenario, America is on a trajectory toward 1.1 million deaths.”

From MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell, March 24: If Americans go to Easter services: “If that happened on Easter Sunday, just 19 days from now, then in May, you’d have millions of dead people all over the country. Millions,” O’Donnell said on his MSNBC show. “If you have packed churches all over the country, including California, on Easter Sunday, by May there could be a million dead people in California.”

From Andrew Slavitt, Barack Obama’s former acting administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS): “Currently experts expect over one million deaths in the U.S. since the virus was not contained & we cannot even test for it.”

From infectious disease specialist Michael Osterholm to podcaster Joe Rogan the week of March 12: “We conservatively estimate that this could require 48 million hospitalizations, 96 million cases actually occurring, over 480,000 deaths that can occur over the next three to seven months…”

From CNN: “On State of the Union, Dr. Anthony Fauci tells Brianna Keilar that in a worst-case scenario millions of people in the US could die from the coronavirus.”

From Yahoo: "At the low end of the projection this would mean about 700,000 deaths. At the high end it would mean 1.5 million deaths.”

In other words? By this point, there were estimates aplenty in the media that there would be anywhere from almost a half million to 1.5 million to 2.2 million dead Americans. But mysteriously in all the stories about the 100,000 dead Americans there is no mention - zero - of earlier media predictions that there would be ten or twenty times that number of deaths.

The United States recorded fewer than 50,000 new coronavirus cases for the first time in four days, while the world set a global record for confirmed infections in a 24-hour period, the World Health Organization reports.

US coronavirus cases dip as world sets record for new cases in 24-hour period

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

Doctors and nurses have caught and died from the coronavirus. Which was why it was important to preserve the N95 masks for the people on the front line.

Gasp!
Doctors and nurses can catch it also???

[Dragonlady]

NO ONE SHOULD BE FORCED TO WORK UNTIL THIS VIRUS IS UNDER CONTROL PERIOD.

What constitutes "under control"?

THE ONLY REASON TRUMP WANTS SCHOOLS TO OPEN IS TO FORCE LOW INCOME PARENTS TO GO BACK TO WORK. THERE IS NO REAL REASON TO FORCE CHILDREN BACK, OTHERWISE.

Um, education could be a compelling reason, couldn't it?

No, it's not. Yes, the kids are going to need refreshers, and they will graduate later than other generations, but there is no compelling reason for their education to be continuing NOW, before the virus is under control.

The whole construct that says if you are X years of age, you MUST be in grade Y, is an artificial construct anyway. People keep saying the kids are "falling behind". Who are they falling behind? The rest of the first world children are still not back at school and they locked down a whole lot earlier than American kids. All of the first world children are missing this entire school year.

This is about day care for workers. Day care centres are shut down as well. Schools are day care for working parents. That's the ONLY reason Trump wants the schools re-opened. You can't force people out of their house back to work, if there is no day care for the school age children. Trump has even said he needs the schools open so the economy can fully re-open.

Trump doesn't care what happens to the American people. He only wants the country fully re-opened so the economy can "bounce back" and help his re-election chances. If children, or their teachers, or their grandparents die because of it, well, the economy is more important.

 

[elektra]

Kids can be asymptomatic spreaders.
Even though the kids might not get sick, they still get infected and spread it to older people.

can be but thus far they have not proven this
i checked a dozen sources, all say the same
they do not transmit covid 19

Does this sound familiar?

People with pertussis usually spread the disease to another person by coughing or sneezing or when spending a lot of time near one another where you share breathing space. Many babies who get pertussis are infected by older siblings, parents, or caregivers who might not even know they have the disease.

In the context of covid-19, no.

"Fake fears". Tell that to the 138,000 families who have lost loved ones. Or the more than $1.785 million people who are still sick. The USA has yet to reach a point where you have more people getting better than getting sick. Trump is the one who spreading false information.

Yesterday, Friday, more than 70,000 Americans tested positive to the disease. Arizona, Texas and Florida have run out of hospital beds. Or the thousands who line up every day hoping for a scare test. California is now imposing lockdown. Since Friday, more than 20 states are reporting record numbers of cases.

The rest of the first world children are still not back at school and they locked down a whole lot earlier than American kids. All of the first world children are missing this entire school year.

This is about day care for workers. Day care centres are shut down as well. Schools are day care for working parents. That's the ONLY reason Trump wants the schools re-opened. You can't force people out of their house back to work, if there is no day care for the school age children. Trump has even said he needs the schools open so the economy can fully re-open.

Trump doesn't care what happens to the American people. He only wants the country fully re-opened so the economy can "bounce back" and help his re-election chances. If children, or their teachers, or their grandparents die because of it, well, the economy is more important.

The problem with your whole silly little idea is embodied by your glaring inability (or is it a refusal?) to answer my very first question to you: What constitutes "under control"?

If you can't explain what "under control" means, then you're not the person to be coming up with solutions...

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."

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

Don't forget all the tourists who died on that cruise line. We need to ban all tourism, boating, ships, sailing, sea transport and vacations.

Definitely. The more isolated you are, the sooner you achieve victory over the Virus and then things can return to normal. Unfortunately, To many Trumper's don't understand science and how virus's spread. They are still living in a fantasy world where they think this is nothing more than the seasonal flu.

And, you're living in a fantasy world thinking we can "achieve victory" over a virus.

Please tell, what is the "specific" number of deaths per year that would be acceptable?

TAIWAN has proven that to be as low as 100 for a country the size of the United States when it comes to the COVID-19 VIRUS.

There is no reason, that the United States should have a higher number of deaths per capita from Covid -19 than TAIWAN.

Taiwan?!?! Yea, that's a fair comparison.....
