    Well that’s pretty much a given. SARS and MERS are still around. Four other strains of coronavirus still cause colds every year. Viruses don’t just disappear, but our immune systems adapt and we learn to live with them. The viruses themselves mutate over time, generally becoming less virulent as they do. A vaccine or vaccines are likely to be developed and they could give total immunity or need to be administered annually like flu shots. Just because the virus is around doesn’t mean that it will continue to be a major problem a few years down the road.

    Joe best go tour Miller, PBR, Allen Bradley, Briggs & Stratton and Harley Davidson and rub elbows and attend Octoberfest, and wear an American Flag on a Truckers Hat, to win the Cheese heads.

    The big problem is, schools have lots of adults working also. My son has been doing his 5th grade class online and it makes me feelconfortable he's not in a school with several 100 people.

    So much for this administration allowing the govenors to make their own call. Fucking idiots and supporting this idiot makes them one.

    Yes, I understand. I was honing more in on the fact that Trump seems to feel that Dr. Fauci shouldn't have an opinion, scientific or otherwise.

    I know there are many older teachers in the system, so that will need to be addressed. My wife taught elementary for 40 plus years and she thinks it critical if the numbers pertaining to the virus look good and controllable that kids get back in the class room. Of course that's her own opinion, she just knows that so many kids rely on the school for more than just learning but positive support, meals etc.

    George Carlin knew what the hell he was talking about. He is a bit more blunt in his truth than I am, lol.

    So we’re all the other incorrect predictions, until they weren’t.

    Funny thing is, About month ago Donald Trump said he was going to start listening to the scientists.

    That would make a great name for a 50's style band with a singer/ guitar playrt, drummer and a stand up bass player (yes, as opposed to a lay down bass player )

    50's rock music starring the Sly Cats

    Sorry that one autocorrected apostrophe turned my post into Egyptian hieroglyphs to you. Maybe since you already acknowledged it was the reason for your confusion you could pretend it’s not there.
