You are extremely lucky your kids are so young. I have 3, twin 11 year olds who are doing kinda OK and a 16yo daughter who is about as bad as it gets. Severe anxiety and depression, she doesn't care about anything and is barely functioning...

That is utterly unforgivable and reprehensible. Any parent that would allow their kids into that environment doesn't deserve to keep them. Parents need to band together and declare war on any group responsible for this BS. Make no mistake, this is 'war'.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is worse. I am sure the guy had good intentions but does NOT understand children and fear. BELOW:

Why does Fox News give so much airtime to Gov. Cuomo (D-NY)? During the time when Covid was peaking, they had him on live daily covering his press conferences touting his response to the pandemic.
Today, they are covering his in-depth response to reports that his administration doctored the number of nursing home deaths related to Covid and his policies. Why is he getting all this exposure from Fox?

The Fox News of Today is not the same as it was prior to the kids getting involved.
As to the craziness of the rat-cell class room, that will not stop COVID, or any common rhinovirus. Kids are still going to touch doorknobs, go to the bathrooms, touch lunch tables, etc... It's like watching a person in the movies "cock" a hammer on Glock. Most who really know recognize the insanity. The spread is through so many other means. But that's irrelevant. Maybe I've got advance burn-out, but when the mortality rate in the US from Covid is so low, lets focus on real issues......oh wait......

If you really want to make a "health conscious" impact in the classroom - take a look at what's in your students lunch boxes/lunch menu's. Get them outside and active. Start early and help make a dent in the 450,000 annual US obesity related deaths.

This is how I feel sometimes.

It’s called panic. There were plenty of people panicking in this thread, remember?
Panic? No, I did that early on. Then I got more information and adjusted my level of concern. Balzé is right, it's more like a cult now with a large side of partisanship.

Agreed. My sister isn't panicking, she's converted to the Church of Covid. It's infiltrated every topic of discussion with her, much the way some use every last topic as an opportunity to bring up politics. She looks with suspicion and fear on everyone who doesn't think the same way she does, much the way we've seen from various religious institutions throughout history. No panic, but lots of fear - like Pascal's Wager, she's decided it's just better to take all the recommended "precautions" without a backward glance and can't for the life of her understand why others would choose not to. I love her, but she's driving me nuts with this shit.

What kind of sick and demented mind came up with that travesty and why is it allowed anywhere near children?

Yep. And like every cult in history, its primary focus is control of the people. Unfortunately, a huge portion of this country is too stupid and weak to do anything other than as they are told to do by their self appointed masters. Every instance in history where this paradigm existed ended very poorly for everyone.

We went to a Trader Joe market a few days ago. Stood in a line marked 6 feet apart and waited our turn inside. Cute girl at door measured number of shoppers leaving and allowed same number inside and reminded each person to have mask properly fixed. Signs everywhere reminding everyone proper Covid 19 sanitary rules.
Yesterday, we went into Fry's Super Market. Just grabbed a cart went inside and shopped. Some shoppers removed their mask.
No incidents. No Police called.

Do you wanna know my theory about this? They make a shitload of HCQ there, and I’ll bet you a million bucks they gave it to every man woman and child!
Two masks now required to enter Manhattan federal court buildings
Visitors to Manhattan federal court and other buildings in the Southern District of New York are now required to either wear two face masks or an FDA-approved N95 mask.
The double-mask requirement was included in the federal court district’s COVID-19 “phased re-entry plan” released on Feb. 11.
“You are required to wear either: (i) one disposable mask underneath a cloth mask with the edges of the inner mask pushed against your face; or (ii) a properly fitted, FDA-authorized KN95 (or N95) mask,” the text of the plan states.
“Gaiters, bandannas, or masks with valves/vents are not acceptable face coverings. If you do not have the approved mask(s), a screener will provide one. No one will be admitted without the proper mask(s),” it adds.
Security guards at the court buildings — which include the Daniel Patrick Moynihan courthouse at 500 Pearl Street, the Thurgood Marshall United States Courthouse at 40 Foley Square and District Court in White Plains — will enforce the mask mandate.
The plan extends only to the federal courthouses in the district, but other federal court districts across the country can impose similar mandates if they choose to.
The CDC last week recommended double masking for more protection against COVID-19.
“If you have a physical covering with one layer, you put another layer on, it just makes common sense that it likely would be more effective,” top infectious disease expert Dr. Anthony Fauci said in January.
“Facts are stubborn things; and whatever may be our wishes, our inclinations, or the dictates of our passions, they cannot alter the state of facts and evidence.” - John Adams

I just don't understand the completely irrational fear people have of this virus. Its not just that they're misinformed or ignorant, its like they love the drama and they crave a crisis to fill a hole in their mundane lives. How have they been living all these years if they're this fragile and fearful? I don't think they really want things to be normal again. Then you have the people who aren't really afraid but are mindlessly obedient. The ones who put a mask on to walk 5 steps to the door because that's what they're told to do. If mankind had been this weak, fearful and stupid in ancient times we would've been extinct thousands of years ago.

Throughout the history of civilization, mankind being in an obedient, subservient state is actually the normal state of things. Freedom, the free man and woman, is but a blip on the timeline of men.

Here we go with this shit
I tried to wear an N95 once on the job and after an hour or two I felt like I was slowly suffocating.
I WILL NOT WEAR THIS.
And I wore military gas masks for hours and hours in the Army and ANG so it's not that I have a problem.
A memo was sent to the White House signed by a dozen health and safety experts, including four members of Biden's transition team coronavirus board
They called on the CDC and OSHA to 'recommend and require the use of respiratory protection, such as N95s' for all Americans
Just days ago, the CDC advised against using N95 masks, which protect against small virus particles, outside of healthcare settings due to a shortage
The signatories argue that there are millions of N95s 'sitting in warehouses' available for use among the general public
It comes as more cases of the new variants from the UK, South Africa and Brazil continue to be identified cross the country
My response to this is exactly the same as my response to O'Biden wet dream gun control push...I'm not going to comply with any of it. And if I read one more retarded story from these morons in the media about the 'mutant' virus or the 'super-covid' virus I'm going to lose it. These people are completely blatant in their narrative and agenda at this point, yet the sheep just go about milling around and cowering to tyrant decrees. It's just sickening.
