I applaud him. For this pandemic, this is the issue that hits closest to home for me. I have gone from being mildly annoyed about KCS (Knox County Schools) prior to the pandemic, to downright loathing them since the pandemic. They are cowards. They are the least professional set of people among people that call themselves professionals, that I have ever seen. I believe they are fairly representation of public schooling across this country, and that means most kids in this country are screwed in terms of their education.
Yes Governor it certainly does
'Incompetent Government Kills People,' Says Andrew Cuomo Unironically
All those "good thing the gov't didn't tell you to use a plug" jokes are starting to look a little too accurate.Huge news for Coronabros

New COVID mutations could prolong pandemic for another year, despite vaccines
“All indications are that these variants of the virus could be a significant challenge to the vaccine," says Michael Osterholm, the straight-talking infectious disease expert at the University of Minnesota who was a key member of Joe Biden's pre-inauguration COVID advisory board. "Without a doubt that's potentially the most overwhelming problem we face."

Read the bottom two articles...evidence says it is.
Yup. Completely different type of vaccine. Moderna and Pfizer have both come out and said theirs will work.
I will say that here in upstate SC we have been fully open since October/November as they staggered classes for a few weeks while opening up. If you test positive you’re out 10 days and then go back. Same for students and teachers. If you’re in contact you’re out 10 days (was 2 weeks but changed) then go back. There’s kids and teachers out every week at every school in the district but they keep chugging along. I haven’t heard of any kids or teachers having a serious case.
I just see such a lack of professionalism in Knox County. Some issues surrounding covid, others unrelated. We have experienced 2 week keep your kid at home contact tracing. I've watched these pitiful online classes where teachers teach for about 10 minutes, give an assignment and tell the kid they are done as soon as it is complete. It is pitiful.
I've got kids in quarantine now, and I have just realized how pitiful the system is, despite 3/4 of a year to make progress. Basically, they've got squat. The online deal is only available for kids that are 100% "virtual" or if a whole school "goes red." What a disgrace.I just see such a lack of professionalism in Knox County.
