So I'm watching a bit of BBC news. The argument the conservative government has for reopening schools right now is that they don't think children can transmit covid-19.

“We don’t really know where this goes — and I’m not sure we really care.”
There has got to be a threshold where you become just too loving stupid to live.

Like seeing all my Florida brethren back home posting pictures on Facebook going boating and BBQing with all their buds as if social distancing merely meant avoiding strangers.

And the strangely aggressive "nobody better tell me to put on a mask if they know what's good for them!".

Their brains have been completely rotted by Fox news.

the fact that we're just now discovering that children who get covid and don't seem to have major symptoms are instead getting a new, more exciting illness a few weeks later and people are still pushing for the schools really adds that special spice to this

My biggest takeaway has been the absolute failure of the American Public School system. The amount of people who do not understand basic concepts of math, science, and medicine- in areas that should be covered in school has broke my brain.


That and that 30% of America are cultists with no views beyond what dear leader tells them.

I'm gonna place the blame on the parents and communities more than anything. Public school can only do so much when you grow up in an anti-intellectual and authoritarian atmosphere.

While education level is probably a predictor of chudliness, I feel lack of empathy for strangers is probably a better predictor.
