"Much very good information now available."
Sounded better in the original Russian.

(14,230 posts)A lot of accounts I respect, including Julia and Lincolns Bible, are IMO deliberately misinterpreting this.
Awkwardness and accuracy aside, very good information is a thing, and there can be much of it.

(14,230 posts)or that someone else is posting to his account. I think it sounds like Trumps awkward style. Its not grammatically incorrect.

She is not alone. A lot of other accounts are running with this theory with just Trumps tweet as evidence. See the replies to Julias tweet. Id rather they didnt, as its misguided.
Granted, Davis doesnt go that far; she is better informed. But the point is that the construction is not an indicator of nefarious origin, even if the results are.

but my problem with it is that people are running with much very good as though it were a single modifier.

(21,548 posts)Guy claims children do not carry Covid, which is totally and provably wrong.
But Trump seized on this, and now his crazies swear by it.

There is so much to consider to safely re-open schools.
Will there be enough school buses? You certainly cannot pack children next to each other on school buses anymore. Which means that you will need more buses to get children to school on time.
Who will drive those buses?
What is the protocol for a child that tests positive for Covid19?
Does his/her entire class go into quarantine?
Will class sizes be smaller? If so how will this work?
Where will children eat lunch? Crowded cafeterias? At their desks?
Are there protocols for extra curricular activities? School sports?
Just because the CDC says that you are less likely to get it from surfaces does not mean you can't.
Children share a lot of things during the course of the day, from books to computers.
I trust that the people that are entrusted with the safety of our nation's children are working hard on these matters and not using the safety of our children as a political football.
