Sanders: Coronavirus crisis 'is on the scale of a major war' (do they have an Ace in the hole here?)

Well obviously, Sanders, Biden et al. go on to opine on how Trump is incompetent - yade-yada yada... There is a consistent truism / adage regarding the way the US citizenry views upsetting the POTUS apple cart in 'times of war' & it is Not to jump ship; that's my first reaction here.

Though I'm sure the virulent physiological pandemic is likely to be nil come the fall, - I do expect that the economic impacts will still be very much a reality. I wonder if the Dems (as they have been prone to do lately) aren't actually shooting themselves in the proverbial foot here with their supposed moral high ground rhetoric? Seems as though the more outrageous their shellacking of Trump the more it boomerangs back on them in spades, lol...

Didn’t one of trump’s advisors say the virus was contained and all of this was just a conspiracy against his presidency? How is it going till fall if it is already contained? Thats six months away...

 

In the Age of Terrorism and Pandemics it is time to shut down our failed obsolete schools and move most of the instruction online. Our schools are just death traps.
Let teachers start small dispersed schools with a limit of 20 students for those who cannot take instruction at home. That would be real progress.

 

Schools teach socialization skills to kids as well. Can not teach them those online.

 

Not that I’m a ware of...got a link?

anyway, back to the OP. It’s like the dems are trying to out, outlandish one another

 

So all home schooling...interesting

 

That’s just what we need. Brilliant, who needs social behavior skills?

 

As much as I agree with you with schools being Petri dishes of disease with all the social media kids are already becoming socially retarded. Let’s not make them go full retard.

 

Sure: https://www.businessinsider.com/fiv...inistration-downplayed-the-coronavirus-2020-3

Other countries seem to be taking much more drastic measures than we are, is that the “dems” fault also?

 

There is socialization online. Games like World of Warcraft encourage it.
Classroom instruction would be fine so long as it is dispersed and conducted by independent teachers.
K - 12 teachers could teach up to 20 students from the immediate neighborhood from local homes or office space.

 

But also builds antibodies in those little ones. Keep em cooped up at home learning, let them out at 18 into the world and see ugly things happen.

 

Have to disagree. I can watch a concert on line in HD on a 70 inch screen with great speakers. It's not the same as being there. Some things have to be in person to really experience them. I think social interaction is one of them.

 

The schools already produce "social retards" and worse. Limit K-12 to 20 students in dispersed classrooms - that is enough socialization. College students can organize social activities online without gathering in a classroom. They are already doing that.

 

Not sure where anyone in that link said it was all contained and a conspiracy against the president.

Other nations are but they are doing to way to late and behind the 8ball unlike us

 

I agree about college kids, but that is because they were taught the social skills as little ones in schools. Not to mention the absolute day care nightmare it would create to not have schools. We are about to get a taste of that

 

Choice is good. Transfer control of the entire school budget to parents and guardians in vested education accounts and let teachers compete for those dollars. I am sure many parents would choose to keep their children big land based schools - at least for a while.

 

Now your fighting the teacher unions and the Dems, good luck !

 

“Larry Kudlow urged Americans to "stay at work," claiming the coronavirus "looks relatively contained.”
"It is being contained," -Kellyann Conway

That you believe we are ahead of the 8ball testing 6 patients a day while other nations are testing thousands shows a serious lack of elementary skills.

 

Sanders is either insane, lying or both. The new cases in China are slowing down, summer is coming (thank God for global warming, eh libs?) and the virus will slow down even more.

All the left has is hate and fear. If the ozone layer won't kill us, global warming will, and if not then the virus will get us.

But let's use liberal logic for a moment and play the numbers, population statistics and ratio game:

How many people are on the planet and how many have died from this virus? Illegals have been murdering Americans for years, they'll will continue to do so and there is no immunity a person can build up to prevent being murdered by an illegal. The virus will eventually be under control, and if you believe in settled science, and I know the left does, human beings will build up an immunity to this virus where in the future things won't be like this.

Unlike illegals, the virus will eventually stop killing people and it won't grow our economy or improve our culture. I'm not sure if that makes the left happy or sad.

And here's the crazy thing about this situation and the left: They have yet to use the phrase "if it saves just one life." I guess they know they threw that phrase overboard when they started defending murdering refugees and illegals.

 

Teachers will be eager to liberate themselves and start their own little schools if parents can reimburse them with a full share of the current education budget - $14K - $22K/student in most communities.
A class of 20 students will encourage socialization, and teachers can network with each other to encourage expanded social interaction.

When systems fail it is important to stop pumping money into the same bad model. It is time to liquidate and reorganize. Should have been done decades ago - will be easier now.

 

Is there much evidence that children learn good social behavior skills in the current school system?
You do not need massive education bureaucracy to socialize children.

 

Could very well be. But can not see it happening. Govt tends to disfavoring losing power and shrinking.

 

It's where we learn to stand in line, wait our turn and not to let others cut. Sounds silly but it's a base lesson that leads to much bigger things IMO.

 

The media will keep the panic going as long as possible but by fall this will be a memory we roll our eyes at any the media will lose what little credibility it has left.

 

Deaths are the important factor and we have very few
