And you are in my view the smartest of them all.

the forum is about 5 plus die hards who in the beginning loved Dr. Henry because of shutting everything down in Feb. But now they think she is closer to Trump in her views on the virus.

Your confused look emoji not working for you? You troll as well.

Belgium had one of the hardest lock downs in Europe. Confirmed deaths 9909 population 11.42 million 867.53 deaths per million

The women in question believes that based on anecdotal information from parents. She also says that staff and close contacts were notified but not publicized. The issue seems to be how public you need to be. If you look at the Texas data which we know was a bad spot and which the article identifies as one, what stands out is how few the numbers are at individual schools. one or two students here or there. the biggest number was 51 employees for one district which includes custodians and so forth. Georgia is slightly higher.

Ever been in a class with primary school kids wearing masks. Touching their face countless times every hour, and generally not wearing them properly or taking care of them properly. That is why they are not used in places like Austria, Netherlands and so forth. Japanese kids are used to wearing masks but struggle with them greatly when they have to wear them all day. Canadian kids would be worse. In a school kids should not be touching their faces that much - it is counterproductive. BC perhaps should do things a little more incrementally but that doesn't look like it is going to happen.

Quite inaccurate. First, schools opened mid-May not June. Some schools in some regions never closed and daycares never did. For the first few weeks most schools did alternating days with shortened hours. That lasted about 3 weeks and was quite demanding on the teachers. By mid June public schools were back to normal hours and class size with most private schools following suit. Since late June it has been school as usual with some activities and events cancelled. For example most schools have swimming pools but those stayed closed. My daughter just went on a camping trip with her class and next month is sports day. Now, students temp check before school, wear masks. But do not wear for lunch, PE or when not talking. My son's teacher does not wear a mask nor visor. No school outside of a university dorm for rugby players has been identified as a cluster. School runs from April to the third week of July and then the last week of August until the third week of March. Kids here missed about 5 weeks of school which were made up by shortening the summer break. BC kids if you count the summer vacation have not been in school for 6 plus months. That is quite remarkable.

This is the recent trending for Tokyo which has seen the most infections in the country because of population size. Just after May 20th the state of e was lifted and people started re-opening (including schools). Mid July partially because of more testing but overall re-opening numbers doubled relative to pre state of E. There was some obvious panic, but no drastic measures were taken by the gov't except to remind people to be careful and 'ask' bars to close early. Pro sports allow 5000 per game and were supposed to go to 10,000 but that was rolled back because of the rise in July and August. They even started a 'go to travel' campaign where people could get a third off of holiday costs if they travelled in country. ICU and deaths crept up slightly but were and are stable. Schools have been open the whole time (since mid-May) except for a 2 week summer vacation at the start of August. Infections are mostly under 40 year olds with minor or no symptoms and clusters are still mostly at hospital and elderly facilities. Will the numbers go up again. Who knows, but the important point is that with no drastic measures or panicking Tokyo could push down numbers.

So this tracker allows anyone to submit information on apparent Covid cases in schools. See steps and then disclaimer. The group Masks 4 Canada that put this up doesn't want to take any responsibility for the accuracy of the data. If you click on the schools identified the largest outbreak is '3'. Of course this doesn't constitute an outbreak nor is there anyway to prove that the students/teachers got sick at school. In fact the numbers are so low that you can logically assume that there is no spread at the schools. Submit a case using this form. Please note: 1. Please do not provide names or other identifying information of positive cases. 2. We only collect cases and outbreaks during the school year, when classes are in session. e.g. PA days before school opening are not collected. 3. We do not collect cases in childcare facilities. Disclaimer: This is an aggregation of publicly available data and information that has been disclosed on a voluntary basis in the public interest. No representations are made as to accuracy, completeness or currency of this data. This information is correct to the best of Masks4Canada and we are not legally prevented from disclosing it.

That is like telling a dog not to bark anymore.

You are not at that level

No nuance in your escape form lazy thought!

You are a teacher right? Check you facts about safety measures being ignored before/during the second wave. A little more nuanced than how you suggest.

No, he had zero chance on 2 goals because of the screening. EP involved in both.

Some Red Bull and he will be fine.

bro you drank a whole bottle of whisky during the game?

Tonight was just a total team effort tonight. Outplayed but definitely not out hustled. This team has its work boots on no question. Now toss that game 7 coin!

This story, article, opinion piece if you want to call it is from a site that allows anyone to publish on it. It makes its money from getting writers to pay for editing services and paying to have their their work promoted - 'partner program'. Widely 'hit' articles can get you paid if you are a writer who is in the partner program - that means the writer has to pay to join! The author refers to himself as an 'explainer of things' and has a background in journalism. In explaining masks he says 'yeah' science tells us they work and the offers two links to articles that are supposed to support the view. Both are from this site and one is his - see point about how you make money on the site. These types of 'businesses' will publish anything as long as it 'looks' okay. They do not fact check. Fake news refers to a deliberate attempt to mislead people for a political agenda. This isn't it. But it isn't a credible source of information and many Covidiots as you call them would at least figure that out.

the beer league D didn't help.

Gillis is the official 'filler' interviewee.

You mean trending ‘down’ despite increased testing. And the gov’t not passing any restrictions. Not sure you have any point to make here. Calming down means the gov’t feels things are under control, in other words stable.

Go to the BC Covid dashboard and see ‘new testing’. You can read this as well. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/new-coronavirus-testing-site-vancouver-covid-19-1.5692273

no way?

Your inability to read through things properly is impressive. Same article "Overall, the situation is calming down," said Yasutoshi Nishimura, minister in charge of the coronavirus response, at a press conference the same day. Nishimura pointed out that the number of new infections has become smaller from levels in early August, and that the rate of positive patients among test takers is also on a declining trend.
