    You'll find mags leading the way among the very many of us that agree with that wholeheartedly.

    Donald Trump says U.S. schools should be reopened 'ASAP' after watching Fox News segment claiming that students don't spread coronavirus and are 'more likely to die crossing the street'
    • 'Schools in our country should be opened ASAP,' Trump tweeted late Sunday
    • 'Much very good information now available,' he added, tagging Fox News and its host Steve Hilton
    • Hilton called for schools to reopen on his show The Next Revolution hours earlier
    • 'Get on with it and reopen schools now before you do even more needless damage,' Hilton had said
    • He cited studies that suggested students can't transmit the virus to others
    • A recent poll found 41% of Americans think schools shouldn't reopen this fall
    • Concerns have grown in recent weeks amid the emergence of a severe pediatric inflammatory syndrome believed to be associated with COVID-19

    More than 25% of all Americans and 44% of Republicans believe conspiracy theory that Bill Gates is plotting to use a Covid-19 vaccine to implant microchips in people, survey finds
    • Yahoo News and YouGov conducted a joint survey about the Gates conspiracy
    • It found 28% of all Americans and 44% of Republicans believed theory was true
    • Outlandish theory, perpetuated widely online, has been extensively debunked and has no basis in fact

    My young married neighbor gal just got laid off from one of the Prominent Portland hospitals after re-assigning and spending hours in reaction to covid-19. Tents that were put up to take on overflow were taken down a couple weeks after they were put up.

    Still can't believe there are people out there who actually believe this was planned by China...don't they understand that China's economy is also in the toilet?

    I don't believe it was pre meditated but they didn't ring the bell when they should have.

    I think they were possibly just as confused/perplexed by what they were confronted with, after all, it was new to them as well...and if we resolve ourselves to condemn China for not "ringing the bell" when we think they could/should have, what does that conversely say about our country's lack of a timely response?
    Seems to me that some are too zealous to point fingers at others when the chips are down...as Shakespeare said in Hamlet, The lady doth protest too much, methinks.".

    Big spike in infections in Alabama. Also outbreaks connected to religious services.
