Related: About this forumChild COVID Cases Skyrocket As Schools Reopen Without Masks - The Ring of Fire
Across the South, school districts are being overwhelmed by COVID-19, with the state of Mississippi alone having already been forced to quarantine 15% of students in the state. Florida isn't that far behind, neither is Georgia, and none of these states have mask mandates in place for students returning to school, nor are there vaccination requirements for school staff. This is now a man-made disaster, as Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains.

And it's a tragedy - a largely avoidable one in those states that prohibit precautions

(57,073 posts)1. Shelby County - Memphis - has mask mandate in all schools
And installed a $24 million air purification system & 2 teachers, an aid & 1 student have already died!
Hundreds covid + & many more in quarantine.
Hospitalizations for kids are through the roof.
Many parents want fully virtual school, but the qouke gov & legislature have banned that, too.
Profit first with qpukes.

It's bad enough for those areas who put every precaution in place, like you said.

(57,073 posts)3. Yes it is.
And to have state officials forcing kids into schools is incomprehensible!

(17,000 posts)4. Currently in Florida more students are in schools
with mask mandates than without mandates. This is due to school boards telling DeSatan to eff off and looking out for the kids.
