We here in Illinois are extremely grateful for you our medical personnel 300,000 of the wrong masks! Maybe the individual states should have actually procured their own supplies, and then maybe we could have actually received the right equipment.

Nah, I think Trump hinted at what we should do with them when he accused hospitals across the country of selling medical supplies out the back door. I guess when Illinois sells these surgical masks on the black market, we'll have enough money to procure our own N95 masks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we have time on our hands and conspiracy theories are fun, (as long as they're not taken too seriously) what if Bone Spurs is deliberately sabotaging efforts in Blue States? Maybe he thinks that much like the overall situation in the US makes him look bad, poor numbers for Democrat Governors and mayors will likewise make them look bad and just maybe result in down ballot support for the GOP in November.... Break out the tinfoil and discuss.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewbieCanuckFan Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 It's weird how much of this pandemic (and likely future ones) originated....from an unregulated 'wet market'. In a country where pretty much everything is conceptually regulated (eg., Communist). Yet, the likelihood of the same happening here is far less (note, not saying impossible, only far less) because of regulation (markets are regulated & any ones trying to 'cross the line' inevitably have organizations like PETA after them). Big government heh in the land of "capitalism". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, there isn't going to be a whole lot of learning being done for awhile........I expect a lot of communication, maybe some journaling stuff that can help them express their emotions through all of this. We are very very cognizant of not placing the burden of being a homeschool teacher on parents right now, no one needs that stress. We are mostly a point of contact right now, someone families can lean on for information etc. The mental health of students and families is the only priority for a couple of weeks, at least. Toward the end of April, HS students may start getting some more in depth learning opportunities, but elementary will likely be basic literacy and numeracy. I don't know for sure, but I think the rest of the school year will be a test run, a chance for us all to get commfortable with this in case of full roll out in September, which I am fully expecting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10pavelbure96 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 Does anyone know how to report someone for violating self quarantine laws? I know someone who was out of the country a week ago and I have reason to believe they have left their house and are putting the public in danger.

86Viking Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 the trump hate on here is comical...The Baffoons south of the border voted this guy in, that is 110% their own fault! They can change that this fall... The spewing of hatred of Trump is not needed on here, there is another area for it. All I have to say about Trump and his handling of this is....Are you &^@#ing surprised!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
