Georgia School Reports 9 Coronavirus Cases After Photos Of Packed Hallways Go Viral

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/georgia-school-reports-9-coronavirus-cases-packed-hallways_n_5f303a33c5b64d7a55f4f7d3

Nine people at a Georgia high school have tested positive for the coronavirus, the principal wrote in a letter to parents first obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Saturday. Photos that went viral last week showed the school’s hallways packed with students in the first days of the school year.

“At this time, we know there were six students and three staff members who were in school for at least some time last week who have since reported to us that they have tested positive,” North Paulding High School Principal Gabe Carmona said.

At least two students at the school were suspended for tweeting now-viral photos of students not wearing masks and packing a hallway, though district officials lifted the suspension of at least one of them after the student’s parents filed a grievance and the story received national attention.




North Paulding’s football team was already facing a coronavirus outbreak before school reopened, as multiple players tested positive and showed symptoms of the disease. Still, after photos of the crowded hallways went viral, the superintendent of the Paulding County School District said schools can’t force students to wear masks, a practice recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

I am not exaggerating. These lemmings will send their kids to possible death, they themselves will be infected but they are going to do it as long as traitor tells them to.
