We can only do what the virus lets us do. We keep on trying to do things that the virus will not allow us to do. Now it looks like there may be an attempt to open schools. Lets see what the virus says about that.
There is nothing that says are kids will die or suffer brain damage if they don't return to school for a year. Spend the money, take the time to set up a way to school our kids at home for a year. Why put teacher lives at risk? Why risk infecting kids and having them bring it home? Why attempt to do things that will extend the pandemic?
You don't defeat a virus by doing things that will strengthen the virus.

Even if the patriotic party wins the WH and Senate and House, the red states will continue to purposely spread the disease until we are all infected.

Children is what republicans are, not the greedy smart ones who use rank and file to get rich, but the rank and file. Children.
