Trump and booster shots - once again skipping over the obvious

I just saw Morning Joe talking about Trump “calling out” other politicians for not supporting or admitting they have had a booster shot. Is it a shot at DeSantis???? Oh the drama!!!

No no no

Trump said he had gotten the booster. His own crowd boo’ed him. Others on the right are aghast.

The root of his bit now as always is that HE CAN’T BE WRONG. In fact no matter what he says it most be hailed exulted praised, it is the new dogma. He can’t reverse track (even when he does) that implies weakness and a hint of being wrong. He simply can’t be wrong .... in his own mind. It simply doesn’t compute. That is really why we are were we are with COVID, supply chain, inflation, etc. he was wrong he got caught flat footed....stalled... and then refused the reset the media and much of the public would have afforded him at the beginning of this in 2020. His cult is not defending anything other than the fact in their minds that HE CAN’T BE WRONG and that they were too.

It’s that simple. That is the core, the root of what and who we are dealing with.

York Co. schools considering shift to virtual learning due to unsustainable attendance rates

YORK COUNTY, Va. - York County Public Schools is considering the return of virtual learning as COVID-19 cases surge.

On Thursday, York County schools released a COVID-19 update stating the division remains confident in their mitigation strategies in place at their schools. School officials say as expected, community transmission rates are affecting both staff and student attendance rates. They say these attendance rates are not sustainable.

During Tuesday’s school closures, their staff worked to prepare for potential shifts to virtual learning. They have not made the switch just yet, however, if they continue to experience the same level or higher absentee rates, the division says they will be forced to adjust course.

The division has not made a final decision yet to shift any classes or schools to virtual, but families should prepare just in case.
