While I agree that SARS-CoV-2 has been recklessly politicized and most of the hysteria is unnecessary, you are incorrect.

The coronavirus that causes Covid-19 has been isolated in the laboratory countless times.

As you say, check the CDC website for yourself. I’ll make it easy for you, here you go…

I couldn’t agree more.

This could have been a uniting event, where people put aside politics and prejudices, and worked together to protect their community.

Instead, our neighbors found any excuse they could to actively endanger our most vulnerable members.

With the vaccine rolling out, it looks like the pandemic may be ending within the next few months, but I’m never going to forget how our community failed us when we needed them the most.

Now get rid of the block schedule with students in the same class for an hour an a half.
Adults can’t pay attention that long, much less kids.

It was put in place to minimize the number of class changes and thus minimize the amount of time that students spent in large groups without social distancing.

What will be your excuse for keeping the block schedule in place now that Covid concerns are not the issue?
Let me guess… it’s easier to schedule high stakes standardized testing (nevermind that fact that it’s not ideal for learning, just as blended classrooms aren’t ideal for learning).

I am thankful that I live in Florida that allowed people and companies to regulate themselves thru ought most of this pandemic. This tactic worked better then anyone thought it would. We did have a high number of deaths but that was our fate all along nothing would have changed it.

The reasons that our fate was thus are common sense we have a large elderly population a large medical industry and our economy relies heavily on tourism. All that was a “perfect storm” for a high mortality rate. Nevertheless the projected death rate has been much lower then predicted behind places that had strict lengthy mandatory lockdowns.

I am Thankful.

I am thankful that my youngest child graduates this year and I wont have to deal with vaccer/anti-vaccer drama anymore. Our nation has put it’s differences aside in times of strife and come together as one despite the racist’s, rioters, bigots, sexists, conservatives, liberals, democrats, republicans and in doing so accomplished impossible goals, this is not something we are capable of anymore we are to fragmented to ever be One.

So I for one will stay home with my family so they don’t get a disease or be a victim of a mass shooter or a school shooter.

Everything is fine.

Enough of the “Chicken Little Syndrome” already.
