ABC News: Georgia governor: School openings going well _ mostly

Georgia's governor says he thinks the reopening of schools has gone “real well" — except for the widely shared photos of students crowded together without masks on

[The deep South state of] Georgia’s governor said Monday that the reopening of some of the state’s schools amid the coronavirus outbreak has gone well — except for the widely shared photos of students crowded together without masks.

...[That county's] officials later announced that six students and three staff members had tested positive for the coronavirus, and that the school would be closed Monday and Tuesday while the building is disinfected.

[Another county's] officials reported that 12 students and two staff members from a dozen schools tested positive for the virus during their first week back. As a result, they said, more than 250 students with potential exposure had been sent home to quarantine for two weeks.

...“It’s so risky and our caseload is not being effectively managed, that there is just no way right now that we can sensibly open schools for in-person instruction,” said [another county's] school board member “Then you see evidence of the very same thing in counties across the state, where immediately, the first day that they open, they’re immediately quarantined.”

...Kemp and the surgeon general both remarked that Georgia can expect to see newly reported cases as schools and businesses reopen.

“I want the people of Georgia to know that we don’t have to wait until we get a vaccine," Adams said. “We don’t have to hide until we get a miracle therapeutic.”

...Georgia state Representative Beth Moore set up an email address for anonymous complaints and said she’s gotten hundreds, mostly from teachers. She said too many principals, superintendents and school board members are “not taking this seriously.”

“The people that will suffer from this are the people we should hold near and dear to us, which is our teachers and our children,” Moore said.

Georgia has recorded more than 1,000 deaths in the past three weeks, and is on pace to reach 10,000 deaths from COVID-19 by the end of the year.

I just wished we would go harder. Go harder on people who jumped the isolation. Go harder on aircrew flying commercial into the country. Go harder on anyone coming into the country now - fancy hotels? Yeah, expect even less.

Also it is not time for "self-isolation" any more. Take these people to a hospital for fourteen days. Keep them away from everyone else.

 

Don't trust anyone.
