(115,836 posts)it's been canceled for the rest of the term. He can't make the governors re-open the schools. While it's true that children are less likely to become seriously ill, occasionally they do and some have died; and even if they don't get very sick or remain asymptomatic, they can take the bug home to their families.

(30,761 posts)That is why we have elected school boards. They work with the states for standards, funding and calendars, among other things. Some things are mandated at the state level. State and local officials will make those decisions, not the orange madman.

(5,127 posts)For the school year. They keep saying that children will not suffer the same consequences and forgetting that quite a bit of children have asthma. What about them?
Also, there was a report yesterday in the UK - giving warning that they are seeing increases in toxic syndromes and Kawasaki disease in children. Some of those children also tested positive for Covid 19 so they are wondering if this uptick in toxic syndrome and Kawasaki is a result of Covid 19. My niece also had Kawasaki disease when she was 4 yrs old. Its a rare illness, if not treated promptly can lead to cardiac issues.
There is a lot we don't know about this virus. It is appalling that politicians are so free wheeling with the public's health.

(53,843 posts)thinks that will bring back the economy before the election. The deaths, even of children are of no concern to him but his non-logic is so faultybetting that the dead will be overlooked with a raging Dow is the unempathetic bad beat of all time, it will just drag him and the country down further. Any sentient being can see that but he's way past that as the sentient meter registers zero when pointed towards him.
Every inclination, thought and move he's made in this crisis has been astoundingly wrong, and that continues. Our hope is November and Biden's election.
