Covid-19 Is Creating a Wave of Heart Disease -daily reminder that there is so much more to #COVID19 than death

New CDC guidance says COVID rates in children is steadily increasing. (not ideal for schools reopening)

LONG TERM BURDEN after COVID hospitalization — “Anybody who needed to be hospitalized or needed ICU support will suffer disability afterwards.”

This is why it is so dangerous to send kids off to school in the Republican states where Case Positivity ratio is 10-20%. Millions of Americans will now have a lifelong pre-existing condition and if the Republicans win the 2020 election through voter suppression, shutting down USPS and colluding with Russia and China and Ukraine, these Millions of Americans are looking at bankruptcy. Vote Blue, as your life depends on it!

Almost 160 OK school districts have publicly reported a case of COVID-19

Aug 31st

With a population of 328 million in the United States, it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65 percent threshold of herd immunity, assuming the virus has a 1% fatality rate.

Let’s not try out this strategy. What if the virus has a 2% fatality rate? 4.26 million deaths is acceptable?

We are finding that people have knowingly sent individuals to school or to a practice that had COVID and knew it.

Others said they weren’t going to honor the quarantining and that is troubling.

More than 100 schools should be engaged in distance learning this month, based on @oksde guidelines.

But StateImpact’s @RobbyKorth and The Oklahoman's @NuriaMKeel found less than 10 are actually following that recommendation.

Schools in Coyle, Oklahoma are moving to virtual learning after the superintendent tested positive for COVID-19.

Oklahoma Superintendent was ‘in every classroom’ before COVID-19 diagnosis. He was no doubt insisting on in-person training and then spread it to many kids and teachers. He needs to be fired for ever and should have nothing to do with schools for endangering the lives of kids and faculty and staff.
