On Wolf Blitzer last night he was asked to put the status of the pandemic into baseball terms. He said it's the bottom of the 6th inning...we're over halfway there, but not close to the end. Let's get those vaccines!

Doc, with all due respect, the CDC and Fauci have a history of changing their directives so often, they don't issue them in ink anymore, all their releases are done in pencil so that they can be changed. No mask, one mask, two masks, outside masks, no outside masks, 6 foot social distancing, 6 foot is not effective, Many physicians say open back up. And before you say they are changing with the science, Whose science? What science? Fauci flops more than a European soccer player.Yes, let's listen to the message board experts instead of CDC.
So you think this isn't politically driven? It seems the National Teachers Union was consulted about CDC Guidelines for reopening schools and their comments were included almost verbatim in the CDC Guidelines. So the head of the National Teachers Union president is a medical scientist too?So you think biological entities and diseases are straightforward and simple?
Medicine is not always absolute. Even the longest known illnesses and diseases can take a long time to recognize, diagnose and come up with the appropriate treatment. That goes even more so for something as new as covid. The current 7-day moving average for daily new covid cases is down 16% from the previous week. Compared with the highest peak on January 8, 2021 (250,000) to around 50,000 today, that's down around 80% from the peak. No medical doctor nor entity is perfect. But, it's hard to argue with the progress made. Thus, I'm fine with listening to Dr. Fauci and the CDC.So you think biological entities and diseases are straightforward and simple?
How about a closerNeed a relief pitcher for Fauci.....

That's not helping India.Check last year's death chart.
As soon as strong sun & UV light returned to North America, it trended down in similar fashion.
That's not helping India.
It gets steaming in India.That's a petri dish and they need gobs of sunlight with darker skin.

Lots of young people are dying there and, not just in the cities.It does. But you have 1.4 billion people - many of them elderly and essentially on top of each other.
That scales fast.

Why wouldn't you consult the teachers about guidelines for reopening schools?So you think this isn't politically driven?

um that was after a "lockdown." I call it that because we never actually had a lockdown in SC. What happened after July 4th, spring break, etc?Check last year's death chart.

If the CDC health professionals were to consult anyone, it should have been school administrators... not teachers.Why wouldn't you consult the teachers about guidelines for reopening schools?

But India's cases have been surging and, they are currently in a crisis. From what I have read, they let their guard down and spiked the ball too soon.But India's death total is currently under half of ours and they have 1.4 billion people and per capita is insane.
It's clear officials here are on a push to get over half of America vaccinated anyway they can. It's hard not to be somewhat skeptical of reporting given everything that's been going on the past year or two.
Summer months the cases were around 1000 a day, in the winter months it was averaging around 3000, I wouldnt call that "flatlining"Deaths dropped last April as they are doing now, and then flatlined from early June until early November. Check the chart.
Are they scientists too? No. So why were their results included almost word for word in the CDC guidelines?Why wouldn't you consult the teachers about guidelines for reopening schools?
Did you read what you wrote? 1000 a day would be a flat line. 1000 to 2000 to 1000 to 3000 would not be a flat line but 1000 a day would be a rather flat line.Summer months the cases were around 1000 a day, in the winter months it was averaging around 3000, I wouldnt call that "flatlining"
Okay I was reading it as in flatline meaning no activity. With context it seemed to imply that there were not significant cases during that time periodDid you read what you wrote? 1000 a day would be a flat line. 1000 to 2000 to 1000 to 3000 would not be a flat line but 1000 a day would be a rather flat line.
No but they have more experience than anyone when it comes to what will actually work in a school setting.Are they scientists too? No. So why were their results included almost word for word in the CDC guidelines?
I think teachers would have to share about practices and pedagogical options with the various models of school regarding opening schools.Are they scientists too? No. So why were their results included almost word for word in the CDC guidelines?
Beat me to itNo but they have more experience than anyone when it comes to what will actually work in a school setting.
Yet not even School Administrators listen to what teachers say.....No but they have more experience than anyone when it comes to what will actually work in a school setting.
Fauci and baseball should never be mentioned together. He threw the worst pitch to home plate I have ever seen. Stevie Wonder could have done better.On Wolf Blitzer last night he was asked to put the status of the pandemic into baseball terms. He said it's the bottom of the 6th inning...we're over halfway there, but not close to the end. Let's get those vaccines!
Admin are not the ones in the classrooms every day. I don’t think they would have the best information about what life surrounded by 30 kids is like.If the CDC health professionals were to consult anyone, it should have been school administrators... not teachers.
Summer months the cases were around 1000 a day, in the winter months it was averaging around 3000, I wouldnt call that "flatlining"
And teachers are not the ones running the schools. They are not trained to do so. It should be out of their lane but I do realize they are pulling the strings.Admin are not the ones in the classrooms every day.

Given this was an unprecedented pandemic there were no experts because this type of thing hadn’t been dealt with before. I live with a nurse and she didn’t shy away from work, complain about the environment, or make demands to continue to do her job. She sure as shit was consulted. So in this case, who do you think has more expertise on sickness and wellbeing? Teachers, who are only educated to teach children or medical professionals who know how it affects both children and adults daily in the life and death portions?. The CDC has no idea what works and what doesn’t. It’s influenced by whoever’s the loudest and that’s been documented since this thing started. I can’t remember how long Florida was closed, if it was even ever 100% closed, but you compare their numbers to California’s draconian lockdowns and the numbers are very similar. Every situation is different and the CDC has been trying to make blanket recommendations and it’s just not logical.No but they have more experience than anyone when it comes to what will actually work in a school setting.
From what I’ve read, teachers weren’t consulted on how to run the school. They were consulted on practices in their classroom, the cafeteria, and other places they spend all day with kids.And teachers are not the ones running the schools. They are not trained to do so. It should be out of their lane but I do realize they are pulling the strings.
Haha I live in Nashville where mask mandates are still imposed so when we’re out in public, I yell “Covid Kiss” and smooch on my girlfriend. Yes, it’s stupid, but so are face diapers.This is how utterly STUPID democrats are. Harris and her husband kiss WITH MASKS on. Both fully vaccinated. Nothing but virtue signaling idiots.
The science and experts recommendations don’t mean anything if what they suggest can’t be practically implemented in a school setting. That’s why the teachers union was involved- not sure how that can be stated any simplerGiven this was an unprecedented pandemic there were no experts because this type of thing hadn’t been dealt with before.

My point: school setting, business setting, sports setting, whatever is irrelevant. School teachers have no business making health recommendations to medical and science professionals. Their interests are on themselves, not public safety. They want to continue to teach virtually. They enjoy the lockdowns. Not 100% teachers, that’s not what I’m saying, but the people who are at the top of the Teacher’s union absolutely do.
