A 10-year-old girl died of covid after her teacher appointed her the 'class nurse.'

A 10-year-old girl died of covid after her teacher appointed her the ‘class nurse.’ Her parents want answers.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/a-10-year-old-girl-died-of-covid-after-her-teacher-appointed-her-the-class-nurse-her-parents-want-answers/ar-AATEhME

Days earlier, the teacher had made Teresa the “class nurse,” putting the Virginia girl in charge of walking sick classmates to the nurse’s office, waiting for them to be treated and, at times, returning to the classroom to retrieve their backpacks if Hillpoint Elementary School officials sent them home, her father, Jeff Sperry, told The Washington Post.

...

Sperry, who was driving Teresa and her brothers home from school, was infuriated. The school never asked for her parents’ consent, he said, and he feared for his unvaccinated daughter’s health as the delta variant spread across the country in the coronavirus pandemic’s second year.

Those worries mounted when, days later, Teresa returned home from school with a headache and a day later, hit a 102-degree fever. Within a week, she was dead.

On Sept. 27, Teresa became one of the first children in Virginia to die of covid-19. Her death certificate states that she died of cardiac arrest caused by coronavirus complications.



Ugh...this makes me literally sick to my stomach and my heart is breaking.

Sooo. Broke into a neighbor's house the other day

I’d been standing outside their house with a few friends. We hadn’t been seeing eye to eye and had some differences of opinion. We’d just finished building a gallows. Cuz. Why not?

My neighbor wasn’t coming outside so me and a few others smashed his windows, kicked in his doors, stole some files and souvenirs

Neighbor was p i s s e d


Not sure why. Just wanted some legitimate political discourse
