Oh, and you’ll like this: New guidance from the Trump administration could send teachers back into their classrooms after potentially being exposed to the new coronavirus, bypassing quarantine rules as "critical infrastructure workers." Lol, naturally. Im sure that will end well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a micro-scale though, i imagine a lot of principals will make them stay home because they don't want to get sick. I don't see how it's really enforceable down the chain. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My district is making us stay home, so I’m intrigued to see how this goes.1800 students and 200+ staff just grades 10-12 is less than ideal.

acowboys62 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 7 hours ago, Xenos said: What are you talking about with regards to the last sentence? A large portion of property taxes go towards schools for a variety of reasons. In my case it’s around 55%. This money obviously goes to pay for teachers, admin staff, facilities, etc. Virtual learning is one thing, if a teacher is still engaging with students, I get it. However, what Brownies posted sounds like they said it would be virtual learning but what they really meant was homeschooling run by the parent. If that’s the case, why would a school district need all that money? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Some potential good news.

BobbyPhil1781 Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 "Pfizer says its COVID-19 vaccine is on track for regulatory review in October" https://fortune.com/2020/08/20/pfizer-covid-vaccine-regulatory-review-october/ Can someone tell me what this means (although I think my peanut brain can comprehend this part) and what the process will be after this in order to get it to our front line workers and most vulnerable (they should be the first to receive it)? I know we're not going through typical vaccine guidelines here so if it's totally unknown, that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TVScout Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Neutralizing antibodies correlate with protection from SARS-CoV-2 in humans during a fishery vessel outbreak with high attack rate https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.08.13.20173161v1 Unfortunately article is not free. Can you get coronavirus via secondhand smoke? The smell is a warning sign. Quote “If you smell somebody else’s exhaled cigarette smoke, then you are inhaling air that was in that person’s lungs,” Ristenpart said. “This means you could also be inhaling their virus-laden respiratory particles, which are composed of respiratory mucosa rather than ash.” A group of prominent scientists in July pointed to “superspreading” events, during which an infectious person unwittingly spreads it to many others, as evidence shows the virus is being transmitted long distances through the air in far smaller and more numerous particles. Smokers also need to remove their masks to take a puff. Being around people who aren’t wearing masks is inherently a risk, but on top of that, smokers tend to exhale more forcefully, according to Herman Gatzambide, a pulmonary specialist in Orlando who was interviewed by WFLA. Someone who isn’t smoking may only project respiratory particles six feet, but it could be more like 10 or 12 feet for someone who is smoking. Smokers themselves are also at higher risk of severe illness from covid-19, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Smoking increases the risk of illness because it impairs lung function and makes it more difficult for the body to respond to respiratory infection. Recent studies have shown young adults who smoke, even if they don’t have other underlying health conditions, are more susceptible to severe symptoms, intensive care admissions and even death. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/08/21/can-you-get-coronavirus-cigarette-smoke/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenos Posted August 21, 2020 Share Posted August 21, 2020 Trying to figure out why more states are not applying for the $300 unemployment extension. Is it because it's pulling from the same disaster relief funds as FEMA? Or that it would take too long to implement based on a state's unemployment system? https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-unemployment-stimulus-aid-most-states-not-applied/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So if a state thinks the order gets neutered or overturned pretty quickly anyway, it may not be worth the IT investment. Especially since this extension is only supposed to last for a few months. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
