THIS IS NOT WORTH IT!

Greensboro - Caldwell Academy and Oak View Elementary (click here) are included in a state report released Friday that identifies COVID-19 clusters in schools.
Five staff members and six students at Caldwell Academy have had COVID-19, according to the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services.
The report does not provide dates of positive cases or other information such as grade level — or say whether any of the cases are still active.....
Southern legislators always put the almighty dollar ahead of the quality of life. They are following the Republican Idiot Paradigm of demanding children go back to school. Roy Cooper stands against the tide and I hope his veto holds up because he is doing the right thing.

Raleigh - Gov. Roy Cooper on Friday (click here) rejected a bill that would compel the state's 115 K-12 public school districts to reopen with at least partial in-person instruction, while also allowing parents the option of keeping their kids learning remotely.
The plan introduced by Republican state lawmakers could still become law if enough of the handful of Democrats who supported the bill decide to override the governor's veto.
“As written, the bill threatens public health just as North Carolina strives to emerge from the pandemic. Therefore, I veto the bill,” Cooper wrote in a message....
Parents have keep them home and safe all this time only to have them return to school with the danger still lurking only to get sick and have to keep them home ANYWAY!
Trump's year of mixed messages about the safety of being social has created false faces to hope. There is skepticism because people died when they were told there was no need to wear masks and the virus was no worse than the flu. SARS-Cov-2 is not a simple virus and it does kill.
Now, if the government wants to win over the people again, STOP LYING, admit the danger of this virus and its variants and ask faith leaders to help in returning trust to the government and the efforts to vaccinate. DO NOT LIE ABOUT THE VARIANTS. There are still outbreaks of dangerous viruses that may never have vaccines that work. Mask wearing, social distancing, hand washing, and all the other protections put in place may be necessary for a while until the incidents of these viruses are down to ZERO.

After news broke that COVID-19 vaccines (click here) would become available, community outreach workers began getting people on a waiting list in January.
They wanted to get those most at risk from the coronavirus to be among the first to get the shot.
But when appointments became available — after delays because of a vaccine shortage and shifts to mass vaccination sites in Charlotte — some people had changed their minds. Fear, generated by false information and conspiracy theories, overtook them.
“We scheduled 20 people, 16 people got the shot. The other four people got scared and texted me in the last minute and said they didn’t want to go anymore,” said Liana Adrong, administrative coordinator of the Montagnard Dega Association.

I am damn tired of Americans and their children being hurt by idiocy and politicians that play with lives so long as it is not their own.
