She is not scared of COVID.
Thank her for me! But, don’t dismiss those teachers that are very afraid to return to the classroom. I wish there was a solution but until we actually see what happens, there isn’t much more we can do. Our district has installed plexiglass dividers all over the place. They will take each child’s temp each day. Masks are mandatory and social distancing will somehow be tried! Janitors will be constantly cleaning and disinfecting surfaces (no ones mentioned them!).

I think we just need to swallow our fears and move ahead. I truly wish any teacher in fear would be allowed to do the online classes or just be put on paid medical leave…that won’t happen…and teachers that want to go back to the classroom handles the kids being sent. I have no idea what that ratio would turn out. I know in my community, very few signed up for only online classes. I don’t dismiss their fears. Besides my husband and I being in our late 60’s, my daughters fiancé is a liver transplant and my daughter is his primary caregiver. She’s terrified of contracting covid and killing him. He’s scared she might! But we do have to sensibly move on with our lives and I think we can if we just follow the guidelines! I’m sick of mask deniers. I’m sick of those that think it’s a hoax and those that make fun of this deadly bug. I can’t change their minds but I’m glad my state put in mandates. Someone’s taking it seriously! Thank you, governor!
 
I will thank her.

I do understand why people and teachers are scared. The amount of disinformation, misinformation, confusing information, conflicting information, missing information and flat out lies is going to cause chaos and confusion. When other voices are silenced (as we can now prove that Google has been doing), we end up in this state. When we have one side who wants any means to justify an end, we end up in this state.

I think if people had access to all the information, and actually cared about it more than they do, we would not be where we are today. Too many people don’t care to seek the truth enough and don’t have the willingness to go find out. It takes effort, and people would rather go about their daily lives. I get it. I wish I wasn’t cursed with the knowledge I have sometimes because it can get depressing. They say ignorance is bliss…

To be clear, I’m not singling out teachers in my statement above, I’m talking generically. I believe teachers as a profession are greatly important, and the vast majority, like cops, are good teachers and do care about the kids’ education. It is the teacher’s unions that sow discord and political hatred.
 
Even some of the non n95’s can be in short supply in different locations, I think it’s site specific. I’m specifically thinking about non n95 masks that are medical grade, masks generally may be more available.

She absolutely abhors online learning.
She wants to go back to school. She wants to teach in the classroom.
So does my wife. I don’t think her kids got a whole lot out of the distance learning, and without real prep time, there was a ton of extra work.
She is not scared of COVID.
Oh, my wife is.

Agreed, it’s also causing a false sense of security in many too.

I’m going to need some links to studies on this one.
 
Google took them all down from YouTube. Sorry.
That’s fine, google/youtube aren’t credible sources anyway. I couldn’t pass a high school term paper citing google/youtube anyways, but I could “prove” the earth is flat.

You can just link me to the research you have that others apparently don’t have access to, that’s fine.
 
I’m not even going to engage you but your modus operandi is to cr@p on every comment by saying the source isn’t worthy. I have US News, Fox News, USA News, Google itself (confirming it in a sly way), among others, reporting on this. YouTube is ripe with videos of people who have screen shots of the video with the doctors discussing hydrychloriquine in front of the White House, but ALL of the videos anywhere have been censored. Anyone who has the video is being banned. But you wouldn’t know that because the sources are bad, and once the news is gone, it’s like it never happened.

One report documented how the company did it’s own analytics over the last four years and found that traffic went down 99% unless the user typed the EXACT search for an article, or went directly to their site. This is how Google suppresses information. But you wouldn’t give a rat’s backside.

My children got the flu shot last year because I was expecting. They had never gotten it before. They got it. While I was in the NICU with the baby. Vaccinations aren’t perfect, especially for the flu which has many different strands.

That video of the “America’s Frontline Doctors” was rightfully taken down for disinformation. The doctors in that video have a history of making unproven, conspiratorial or bizarre medical claims. They are not some random collection of concerned physicians.

Here is the fact-checking on that video: PolitiFact | Who are the doctors in the viral hydroxychloroquine video?

Google searches are conditioned by how many others have searched for the same thing and how many links there are to the website in question. If you are having a hard time finding something it is because there aren’t very many links to that website. That is how Google ranking works. I has nothing to do with ideology.

That is true. Some vaccinations are more protective than others. That is why the trials that are going on right now are so important. We need to find out how effective they are over a small group before giving it the nation as a whole.
 
I’m going to use your tactics against me, against you. Politifact is run by a bunch of leftist progressives who shoot down any conservative idea. So much for your “Source of Truth” being truthful.

Edit: Who made Google the arbiter of truth? Who made Google a champion of what is correct speech or not? Who made Google a doctor that they should shut down information?

Your idea of shutting down and censoring speech here is dangerous and if I had the power, I’d shut you down.
Wait…did you just say that the posters idea of censoring speech is dangerous (which isn’t what they said…anyway), so your answer to that is censorship??? 🤔

You don’t have to take their word for anything. They provide linked support for everything they report. If you don’t believe them, read their supporting links and decide for yourself. For example, Dr. Dan Erikson, one of the doctors in the video, also appeared in the widely discredited “Plandemic” video. It is a matter of record. Not a leftist plot.

Censorship only applies to the government. Private companies can set their own rules for what they will publish. Do you think if I sent in an op-ed to Breitbart praising Obama that they should obliged to publish it? Of course not! In this case YouTube, in my opinion, and in the opinion of many others, is doing a good thing by suppressing dangerous content. They also do not allow videos that extol the virtues of playing Russian Roulette, as I’ve said before. You wouldn’t want them to publish that, would you?
Who made Google the arbiter of truth?
They are not. But they are used by people more than any other search engine.
Who made Google a champion of what is correct speech or not?
If you mean popular acclaim, that would its many users.

The way Jesus taught us is that we should do unto others as we would have them do unto us.
 
You are missing the point. While I fully support the right to free speech, as well as the right to private companies making decisions, DO NOT hide behind lies and obfuscation. Google IS censoring conservative news. If they want to be the progressives Pravda propaganda mouthpiece, why not just come out and say it. Don’t hide behind BS lies. Which is what they are doing. They are leftist and progressive and they hate Trump and will whatever they can to stop Trump and to limit discourse and ideas.
 
You are understanding either. Seriously… I’m not seriously considering doing that, I’m point out what he is doing be being overly dramatic to make A POINT.
