As the summer goes on, schools are refining and finalizing how they will conduct school in the fall. Already, Atlanta, Los Angeles, and San Diego have declared schools will not re-open physical classrooms and others will follow. Many districts have suggested revised schedules, including part of the students attending one day or week and others another day or week, staggered drop-off and pickup times, mask-wearing at all times, social distancing, food brought from home, and no shared use of common resources. Teacher unions are beginning to object to sending teachers, particularly those in the higher risk age groups, back into the classroom and parents have understandable concerns for their children as well.

Even if you don't have kids in school, take a look at the CDC recommendations.

After almost two months of rioting, we would be surprised if the movement had not worn out it's welcome.

"President Trump on Tuesday signed an order which will bar immigrants living in the United States illegally from being included in the 2020 census for purposes of apportioning members of Congress to states."

“Though the whole world relies on RT-PCR to “diagnose” Sars-Cov-2 infection, the science is clear: they are not fit for purpose”

This is a longer read than most but brings up more than a few questions on our pandemic. Recommended.

The first comment will have a link a 41-minute video that also asks a lot of questions. We also recommend this for the questions it asks.

“While the coronavirus pandemic continues to spiral out of control, the Trump administration’s public health agencies are busy fighting each other. The Department of Health and Human Services got into an ugly blame game with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Thursday over an unusual shakeup in how the government collects and presents data on COVID-19 hospitalizations.”
