Coronavirus (homeschool, materials, museum)

Some idiotic Churches want to allow singing & are suing Newsom.

Unfortunately, one of the Churches is in my town. I just saw the Pastor on CNN, & he said they will not require masks.

This has been hard enough on kids and that will only make it worse. And worse than that is if a quarter of schools in a single district have a 5% infection rate, the entire district has to close.


Newsom even hinted that some districts (probably in more rural counties) might have different ideas and attempt to skirt the state requirements. I'm not sure about that, but maybe. I think even smaller districts realize the liability but we'll see. At any rate, if nothing changes in the next few weeks, I suspect most schools will be online only which is equivalent to cancelling them altogether. *sigh*

The Ukraine Evangelical mega church near here moved their services to rented buildings after the county gave them an order to stop having services in their church (over 70 people came down with Covid and one died). As far as I know they are still having services away from their church. I had a discussion about this on facebook and someone who claimed to be a member of that church said it's their right to hold services without masks or social distancing because God decides who will live and who will die /sigh

Where I live in Az schools are opening and they are also having at home learning so the parents can make the decision on what they want their kid to do. I wonder why Ca won’t do that and put the choice on the parent instead of trying to control everyone. What are parents that have to go to work going to do?

It’s exactly what she said. Quoted verbatim. Word for word.

... and then juggled. Because it was obviously so stupid. Like everything else that’s come out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave for the past 3 years.
