Thanks to COVID-19, in some quarters the unthinkable became the thinkable.

I don't care if it is a Utah Republican asking questions. At least somebody is questioning athletic organizations' ongoing support for male cheaters in women's sports.

Twitter suspended DJT Jr. for 12 hours for promoting some quack's remedy for COVID-19.

I sure as shit hope I don't get laid off this fall:
Some research indicates that children under age 10 are less likely to get very sick if they contract COVID-19, and are also less likely to spread it. It’s unclear why that happens. Some researchers have theorized that since kids breathe closer to the ground and have smaller lungs, they don’t send as much of the virus into the air when they breathe or talk, although there remains a debate over whether the data is firm on how much younger children are impacted by the virus.
If cases go up, schools will need to close. If the number of active cases reaches 20 per 100,000 people in a week, or if the positivity rate 7.5% or higher over seven days, districts need to make plans to start distance learning. If cases hit 30 per 100,000 and the district has a 10% positivity rate over a seven-day period, schools will need to return to distance learning.
Distance learning is a complete failure. It is not just hard on staff, it is murder on the kids and parents.
Edit: From our superintendent, this notice from this afternoon:
As of today (and please know things change quickly!), grades four through 12 will be fully virtual. Students will be taught by their teachers from the school the students attend. (Medford Online Academy students will be taught by Medford Online Academy teachers.)
Due to Jackson County’s numbers being just below the threshold, we have the option of offering K-3 students, and our most vulnerable students, in-person instruction.
