Current Events > It really amazing how brazenly anti-science they are for reopening schools

(+) Yeah! (+)

From Pence saying CDC guidance shouldn't get in the way to McEnany of the State saying now that science shouldn't stand in the way.

Insane.

Millions will die in America while the rest of the world is fully open and people will still think Trump did a good job.

Like, I can't even begin to describe how catastrophic opening schools will be. The winter will already be hard with flu+covid hitting. So many people don't get flu shots, they DEFINITELY won't get covid shots. We could genuinely see 1-2% of all of America wiped out.

Conservatives have never given a fuck about science.

I'm not seeing how that's anti science. Pretty irresponsible yes though.

Here's the actual Pence quote btw

"We don't want CDC guidance to be a reason why people don't reopen their schools"

It'll be interesting to see what the history book in 50 years say about this period. Unfortunately the generation in charge never grew up with the internet and are unable to wield its massive power. The age of misinformation will however end.

Republicans should never be elected again ever they should be banned from government

Hawaii is practically solidly blue (only two or three seats out of ~50-something in the State legislature are Republican).

And yet they plan on letting 2000+ people from the mainland and international come to the University, under a "modified (soft) quarantine" in which students are basically trusted to only go between dorm and campus for 14-days.

Guess which age group is responsible for the increase in COVID on the mainland?

The Republican party has set our country back decades with their bullshit.

Next week teachers in my district decide if we're okay with going back or if we only want to be virtual

Most are planning on saying virtual but they're definitely gonna make a bunch go in or fire us.

Strikes will most likely be happening

I heard teachers can't legally strike in Texas so they literally have no say if they get forced to go back.

That shit is insanity.

Yeah Flu season is gonna be historically brutal. Probably one of the worst since flu vaccines became widely available.

Many people at risk who would likely survive with medical care will either wait too long out of fear of Covid or have delayed/poorer care due to overwhelmed hospitals.

Getting Flu and Corona at the same time or back to back is also fully possible.
