4. Wtf is wrong with people?

Given COVID has now been shown to kill children, sending your infected child to class is beyond willful negligence and trotting right into willful harm territory. Start laying charges on people who do this kind of thing. It is criminal.

Meanwhile, on the same page, there's an ad with a cheerful Dr. Wen telling everyone all about how confident she is to send her kids back to school. 🤦‍♀️

5. context:

(CNN)More than 80 students were potentially exposed to Covid-19 on the first day of class in Reno, Nevada, on Monday after a parent sent their child to Marce Herz Middle School, despite both the parent and child receiving a positive Covid-19 test just two days earlier, Washoe County Health District officials said.

The exposed students had to quarantine at home and started distance learning on Tuesday, the Washoe County School District said.

In a Tuesday letter sent to the parents of impacted students, Principal Brandon Bringhurst said that if their child is fully vaccinated, parents can bring the vaccination card to school and the student can resume in-person classes immediately. Impacted students can also take a Covid-19 test on or after August 14. And if they test negative and don't have symptoms they can return to school on August 17.

The school district did not share information about the student who came to school after a positive test or their parent. The parent refused to communicate with the Washoe County Health District staff or school officials, the health district said.
