Too Cool for School 

In Europe, 22 countries have allowed students to return to the classroom without any spike in Covid. Did you know that? If the answer is no, then you have once again been victimized by a dishonest American press which ignores facts that go against the anti-Trump narrative.

Sure... why are we "not" hearing about schools being open in other areas of the world and how these reopening of the schools has not led to an increase in Covid cases in either children or teachers? Certainly there are plenty of states here in the U.S. that have had much better success against Covid than plenty of these 22 countries. But still people fight it here. Many simply believe the rhetoric while not understanding the facts.

The underlying deception as it pertains to this virus has been fundamentally dangerous and scary. Dangerous, because of how much we rely on the power of the press to build a narrative and scary because too few Americans are capable or willing to fact check anything on their own anymore.

For deaths of children under the age of 14.... we just broke 30. There are now 31 reported deaths of children 14 and younger according to the CDC statistics from death certificates. We have an additional 122 for those between 15-24 (high school and college). We generally have at least a hundred children die from the flu every year, but we don't shut down the schools. Moreover, if grocers, retailers, and food service people can safely work, then why can't teachers and school staff?

This is about two things. Stoking fear and disagreeing with the President. Trump thinks we should open schools. Liberals will march lock step against it, even as their cooler brothers and sisters of Europe are doing exactly what Trump says we should do here.

It's really that simple. Don't let anyone tell you differently.
