My son and daughter-in-law are really troubled by this rush to open schools without careful consideration to safety measures. By the end of August my new grand daughter should be home from the hospital. She's already had a rough start as a preemie, heart surgery and recently a nasty infection in her esophagus. Though Cassandra has proven herself as a mighty little fighter, she really cannot afford an infection like Covid. If her two step brothers were to bring home the virus, the complications could be tragic, deadly.
This is the sort of scenario many Americans will be facing--the desire to get the kids back to school but worried about reasonable safety measures in place. The fact that Trump howled at the CDC guidelines, claimed they were too expensive and complicated does not produce confidence in the revised plans.
Then there are all the other people exposed: teachers, cafeteria works, maintenance staff, bus drivers, etc.
Like everything else, Trump is risking the health and security of the American people.
May he rot in Hell!!
