Three days later there is a Covid + student.
Did anyone think that teachers, staff and students should all be tested before opening???
Of course someone who is positive and without symptoms is going to be there.
Duh.

(6,929 posts)It is not a big school system. I think there are 2000 students in 4 schools.
They are being very public about it.

It is a pretty small school system so that part is pretty manageable.
It is front and center in the local paper, and the Knoxville TV news, no one is hiding anything.

It's an election-losing move. Makes one wonder if trump is self-sabotaging his own campaign unconsciously?

(2,412 posts)I had wondered about this too. He must be exhausted and so angry that he is not longer being worshipped. The real world finally caught up with him! I think he is trying to cause as much chaos as he can on the way out.

(1,648 posts)I don't understand the logic republicans are using, when they are proven wrong over and over again, yet they still refuse to do the necessary things to reduce the spread. I seriously think they want a mass kill off/culling of Americans, because they always choose the wrong things to do. They have now put the safety of the American People on the same model as their disaster economics race to the bottom plans.
