Alberta tried this for everyone and there was an outcry. They had to stop

it. They ended up with flooded ICUs and cancelled elective surgeries. It is like they are trying to land the covid plane on endemic and are terrified of the virus being vanquished. They are willing to risk pandemic to get there.

why are constituents in anti-mask states turning the teaching profession into a suicide mission?

Grow up and do the right thing already people.

And that my parents are buried there. I’ve been away since 1972, and away from the east coast since 1983 when we moved west to Oregon (in CA now). Love the west, will never live east again. Just me.

But I’m damn glad to be far away from Florida. Have not missed it all since I first left.

Apologies to Floridians who find my comments offensive…

as a kid. But yeah it is heartbreaking to think of places where a good portion of the population are so done with thinking that they elect people who want to hurt them, and then elect the next guy who wants to destroy the middle class, and they don't seem to learn.

“…allowing parents to decide whether THEIR children should quarantine or stay in school if THEY’RE asymptomatic”?

If they're asymptomatic? Uhhh, no. Maybe it should be the parents of the kids who are NOT sick/asymptomatic who get to decide whether that kid can attend school. It’s not their kid who could be infected so they should have no say in the matter

You’re sick - stay home.
Not vaccinated - stay home.
