Elementary school students can return to in-person learning two days a week beginning March 1 rather than one day per week, Harford County Public Schools announced on Wednesday—within the same hour that an estimated 2,000 HCPS employees across the county, including secondary educators, saw their COVID-19 vaccination appointments canceled by the Harford County Health Department due to lack of supply.
In a revision to its Return to In-Person Learning Plan announced just after 4 p.m. Wednesday, elementary school students can opt to attend schools in-person two days per week March 1, with the school system eyeing an expansion to four days per week of in-person education by April 1.
However, minutes earlier, secondary education teachers who had scheduled appointments via the Harford County Health Department to receive the first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine received e-mails that those appointments had been canceled due to insufficient supply and a need to hold back second doses for those who have already received the first.
The Health Department’s e-mail suggested that the teachers instead look to private sources or state-run clinics to receive the vaccine.
“It is our understanding that in the next four to six weeks the national vaccine supply will enter the private sector and state run clinics will be operational,” the health department wrote in its e-mail. “You may wish to contact your private healthcare provider or reach out to your local pharmacy to find out when they might be receiving their supply of COVID-19 vaccine.”
In a separate e-mail to teachers later in the evening, HCPS Communications Manager Jillian Lader wrote that staff vaccinations were “not a requirement to return to in-person learning.”
“Please note, many concerned e-mails from staff have been received,” Lader said. “We have and continue to advocate that vaccines be made available to secondary school staff. At this time, we do not have additional information from HCHD that we can share with you.”
Lader told The Dagger Wednesday night that approximately 2,000 HCPS staff were scheduled to receive the vaccine next week, including secondary educators as well as Central Office staff. She said the school system does not know exactly how many HCPS staff have already been vaccinated, as registration for the vaccine clinics was maintained by the Health Department.
She said the school system was told that the Health Department did not anticipate being able to reschedule the cancelled appointments.
“As we were notified today that the HCHD did not foresee rescheduling clinics, we are actively looking at other options to support our remaining staff in receiving vaccines [and] interpreted the e-mail from the HCHD to read that staff should pursue private options,” she said.
Health Department Public Information Officer Molly Mraz did not immediately respond to questions Wednesday night.
In a post on social media, Chrystie Crawford-Smick, president of the Harford County Education Association, which represents approximately 3,800 HCPS employees in collective bargaining, said the appointment cancellations were “very concerning.”
“We are in contact with HCPS to discuss other possible options and next steps. We have also requested that they send a communication to clarify the situation,” she wrote. “HCEA feels the vaccine is a key component of reopening school buildings safely, especially while the positivity rate is above 5 percent.”
As of Wednesday, the county’s 14-day rolling average of COVID-19 test positivity stood at 7.2 percent.

From Harford County Public School teacher Ben White:
I am a teacher in Harford County. When I first heard that Harford County Public Schools was going to offer vaccinations to their employees, I was thankful for their forward-thinking attitude. Unfortunately, HCPS has just informed us that they have no vaccines to administer. However, in what has become a typical move for HCPS, they are going to plow ahead with their plans despite the obvious problems. We teachers received a robo-call telling us about the problem but echoing the Governor’s dangerous assertion that vaccination is not necessary for a return to in-person school. This is NOT what the research shows. The research cited by Governor Hogan and Superintendent Salmon cherry picks data from studies that are far from conclusive to support their decision. This is definitely not an adequate support for making state policy. What we know for sure is that if you are not in contact with the virus you cannot get it and cannot give it to others. With new, highly contagious variants showing up on almost a daily basis, now is not the time to jump the gun.
In order to be safe, teachers and students must be vaccinated BEFORE returning to the classroom. To the people who try to compare school to restaurants and nail salons, I respond that you don’t spend 8 hours in an Outback Steakhouse. The students will be spending 8 hours in close proximity to other students. A sick person visiting a restaurant puts others at risk for a few minutes. A sick student puts the rest of the school at risk for the whole day. What is more, they will be back tomorrow and the next day. Parents who are rushing to get their sons and daughters back in school need to understand that they are putting not only their children at serious risk but everyone else’s as well. Not to mention the teachers and other staff.
The hybrid model is the worst of all possible alternatives. AS in the fall, the students who will attend class will come in and sit down with their laptops. They will not even look at me since I will be teaching to the camera as I have been for most of this year. Nothing will change about the experience except that we will now be physically closer together and far more likely to transfer the virus.
No one wants to be back in the classroom more than teachers. But a teacher’s first priority is the safety of the students. When the elected leaders and even the student’s parents are clamoring for something that is simply not safe, we must stand up and say something. Wait until we have been vaccinated and then reopen the schools. A stich in time saves nine. In this case a vaccination in time saves lives. I feel certain that few parents would look back at this decision, if their child gets the virus and dies, and say, “it was worth it” We have waited this long. What are a few more weeks if it means we don’t have to unnecessarily lose young people to an avoidable disease? YouTube is full of videos of careless people who did an endzone dance on the 2-yard line only to crash and burn disastrously. Those who refuse to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.
Ben White
“Wait until we have been vaccinated and then reopen the schools.” Most teachers would agree. Teachers want to go back as much as anybody else, but want to do it responsibly.
I’m not sure that parents and students understand how much the Hybrid model is being sold under false pretenses. Parents think it will be better for their children to be in-person, but teachers are required to teach those who are in-person and those who are virtual with equity. Teachers are not allowed to make it better for those who choose in-person.
Patience is a virtue, and those who want to reopen schools prematurely are showing little.
The proper term is “equally” or “equality”, not “equity”. Equity has long been used as a term to describe a fiduciary substance and all of a sudden it has become something it isn’t. That is of course if you are grasping the reality that YOUR government thinks of you as a dollar sign….
Funny you should use the term “substance”…
Funny, you can’t use your own screen name and have no substantive input into the topic we are discussing….
Ed Yutainment, President Biden gave his first foreign policy speech from the State Department this afternoon. In it he used the term “racial equity”. I thought both his and your use (in the context of education) of the word, “equity” was spot on. For those on this forum who do not understand the difference between “equity” and “equality” check out the following:
“Equality means each individual or group of people is given the same resources or
opportunities. Equity recognizes that each person has different circumstances and allocates the exact resources and opportunities needed to reach an equal outcome”
One of the definitions in the Oxford language dictionary for “equity” is “the quality of being fair and impartial”.
It’s a given we all need a pair of shoes. However, “one size doesn’t fit all.”
The important thing to remember is that usually when circumstances are “equitable” “equality” will follow.
Equity in your outlook means you must give preferential treatment to those whom don’t have as much to make them equal. In my eyes that is prejudicing against one to make them equal. I’m sorry, but I don’t go for that. I’ll go for equality, but not equity in the terminology you are using. That’s basically saying we have to give this guy more and be unfair to others in order for them to reach the same plateau. That is opposite of the American way. We don’t take an unqualified person and treat them as if they are qualified just so their feelings don’t get hurt.
Little Man, if you are an expert on “…the American way”, we are all in deep, deep trouble.
Well, I’m sure I would be just as disappointed in hearing your version of the American way….Boob.
Little Man, the difference is my version would be a lot closer to the truth.
Whatever you say, Boob.
Little Man, All you have to say is “I’m wrong” and “I give up”. I will then stop picking on you!
Hahaha. Not today…
Patience? Let’s see there is no evidence of transmission from children to adults, or from child to child and it’s not just theoretical either – schools have been open in Europe for months and parochial schools have been open nearly as long – with no vaccine to either teachers or students. Teachers that say they want to go back but have to do it when all the kids are vaccinated just want to plop on the couch in their beach-house and phone it in like they’ve been doing since last February. How’s about we quit paying these lazy sloths and see how long it takes. I’m over this nonsense.
How’s about you get on your knees and smile like a doughnut
:-O
How’s about you get your shit straight and stop being a douche nugget????
So you see, you are an asswipe!
HCPS…..lololol. Only worried about $$$ and the top people who don’t do much.
Well, they had a plan and now that plan is screwed. You would think that before this “plan” was put in motion that a simple measure to make sure the vaccine was properly designated so the plan could be carried out without a hiccup. Whomever is or was in charge of this should probably be held accountable for this failure.
I’m sure HCPS will take the flack for the health department’s shortcomings
I wouldn’t blame HCPS or the Health Department for this. The Health Department can only request the vaccines and HCPS can only create a feasible plan. Neither are to blame. If you want to blame someone I think it goes right to Gov. Hogan and whomever he has placed in charge of vaccine distribution. That is where the blame should lay and anyone that blames HCPS or the Health Department isn’t in touch with reality.
Great Operation Warp Speed plan too….LOLOL. Smoke a mirrors. There was no plan which is why we are now her. SMH
The plan was to get the vaccine in the first place, which did happen, 3 or 4 times over. Getting the vaccine to the States also happened. As for the States and their individual distribution outcomes, I don’t think the Federal government should shelter blame for the incompetency of State agencies. Let’s be realistic, the States weren’t even listening or cooperating with the outgoing Federal Administration and now the new one is picking up with full cooperation of the States, unlike the former. Nice try, but you can’t blame Trump for the State’s incompetency. Quite frankly, getting a vaccine this quick would’ve never happened before Trump and more than likely not after Trump either.
Biden will solve all this. Previous administration created this problem.
I defend Trump no matter what…I guess I’m a boot licker. He lied (about Covid for starters), cheated (Stormy who?), told people to inject bleach (spin this how you want, but true), and rallied white supremacists to attack the Capital and said he won the election….what a great President! My President! Give me your boot so I can lick it.
My imitator, who has also been imitating Bob, is a moron. He did downplay COVID to prevent panic. He did cheat on his wife, but she forgave him for it and stayed with him. She’s his wife, not you. He never told anyone to inject bleach, he was talking about using anti-biotics to disinfect the body. Dipshits like you spun it to mean injecting bleach or lysol. He didn’t rally White Supremacists, he rallied his supporters and not every Trump supporter is a White Supremacist. He never told anyone to attack the Capitol. He told them to march up to the Capitol and make their voices heard. I believe he did win the election and the evidence is overwhelming, yet none of the bureaucratic establishment would even look at the evidence because the bureaucracy wanted him gone. Yes, he was a great President and he did some great things for our Country, but he wasn’t very Presidential in his speech and threw the Rules of Civility out the window. I understand you don’t like Trump, but was putting a child touching, hair sniffing, agent for the Chinese Communist Party that created systemic racism and is putting transgender males in all girls sports a good thing? Quite frankly, I think you have shit for brains….
Hey Little Man, Did you notice Marjorie Greene used your favorite descriptor in her morning tweet to describe the Dems & 11 Repubs who voted to remove her from committees? You and Marjorie have much in common. You’re definitely two peas in a pod.
Now that the voters in her District have had an opportunity to see what a loser they elected, a recall election could be next order of business.
“Hey little man”….I guess you are built like a brick shit house. STFU with that little man shit. I bet you are that asshole wearing reused nitrile gloves and masked up in a car all by himself because you are afraid of getting Covid.
I have no problem with Marjorie Greene and I’ll admit that I really don’t know much about her. She did run in Georgia you know. However, if she has the stones to call those traitors in Congress exactly what they are, then good for her. As for a recall election in her district, I really don’t know if she has done anything that would offend the people that voted her in. Do you? She told her constituents that she’d introduce Articles of Impeachment for Biden and she did. It failed, but so did the Democrat’s Impeachment that went on forever and is still going on after the man isn’t even in office. You got some serious shit going on upstairs and I think you need to get some help with that. By the way, how did we get on the topic of Trump when we were talking about the HCPS and Health Department issue of getting teachers vaccinated in order to reopen the schools? That’s right, YOUR DUMB ASS took it there….
Little Man, there goes that temper again. I get a kick out of dragging you along. If your real nice and apologize for your outburst, I’ll wait till Monday before I start back on you. Have a great weekend!
What temper? Calling you a dumb ass isn’t a show of a temper, it is a statement of fact…
Bob likes “little men”…hurts less after his foot tapping encounters go down at the Chesapeake House men’s restroom…
Like I said…spin it how you want but he did. And I’m not Bob you stupid, weak old man. STFU about Bob…….you are a waste of a human.
Really? You use so many screen names I’m surprised you can remember which statement was your own. Bottom line is without Trump’s “WarpSpeed” initiative, there wouldn’t be a vaccine right now.
The truth of the matter is WarpSpeed was successful not because of Trump, but in spite of Trump.
If Joe Biden or Obama was President when the Corona virus first came about the odds are there would be no vaccine right now. In fact, I guarantee it. WarpSpeed was Trump’s creation and the vaccine was created in record time because of the policy. True, Trump did not make the vaccine, but he got it to happen. What has Biden done thus far? Killed 50,000 jobs and mandates that he-shes get to dominate all girls sports. I know it has only been 15 days, but good grief, was that kinda of stuff necessary all ready? It took Obama till the end of his second term to get that whacky. What’s Biden’s excuse?
Well said. We are all in big trouble whether we know it or not. There’s a lot of distraction right now, done on purpose, to divert our attention away from the important matters facing our country.
Never before in the history of our country has a new president done so much damage during the first week of his presidency.

The only trailer trash here is your wife. The Edgewood Boys are taking good care of her tonight. I bet if you get there tonight, they’ll give you the honor to beat it in the corner and hold the camera.
His wife is sweet, my Grinder link up from last weekend and me spooned with her. You watch your tone Billy!
What you citizens do on your own time is on you. Just make sure that when you are doing it that you wear the damn mask

Thinking about hitting the Chesapeake House later. I’ll try to get my usual spot in Men’s restroom(2nd stall on the left). I’ll have my favorite pair of Nikes on. They always seem to bring me luck when I go foot tapping.
Here is just one more example of the great accomplishments of President Trump. Shame we will not see any good work coming from the WH for the next 4 years!

SoulPounder and Butch do what to each other??
Me thinks you got us confused with Boob and Gordon, but whatever…
He definitely was confused. Kinda cool though that he can multi-task while getting ass pounded in the men’s restroom at the Chesapeake House
The WiFi signal in both the Maryland and Chesapeake Houses restrooms is phenomenal. I can’t wait for air travel to pick back up so I can hit the bathrooms up at BWI. And yes, I will wear a mask while I’m getting on with these foot tapping flings. You need to be responsible when doing it with me. I even have a special mask with a doughnut hole opening for those glory hole specials I’m renowned for!
Billy is a closet gay. LOL. 100% the way he focuses on that so much. It’s ok bro. Come out of the closet…you like D. Embrace it!
hahaha‘s is all butt hurt literally ever since he was 7 years old and witnessed his mom taking it in the anal sack. He knew that one day after witnessing that, he was destined to be the cuck. #edgewood boyz high fived your bitch last night
His wife wasn’t bad. Got the route 40 single-wide shaking a bit. A few of us went back for seconds. One complaint that I will leave on her Yelp review page is that she wouldn’t stop talking about how much her husband is a lib snowflake cunt-rag. Not really the end of the world, but definitely some room for improvement.
Got off to a slow start this morning, definitely being taxed from the rest room experience last night. Just need to walk it off if you know what I mean. Give me a bit and I will send some more links to lib articles that you all don’t give a shit to read.

Dear whiny-bitch school teachers, While you cowards are hiding out the rest of the world has been out interacting with each other and the public at large for months. Retail workers (who weren’t bumped up in line like teachers) have been on the front lines of Covid risk since this whole thing began. The poor 7-11 clerk who stands 3′ away from hundreds of people every single day makes 1/4 of your salary and hasn’t missed a day or work. Quit your self important whining! Quit hiding behind children with your cowardice! Get your lazy butt back to work and do your damn job! All us essential workers who pay your salary while you hide in your basements are disgusted with your attitude! Our children (about who you claim to care so much) are miserable & failing because you think of yourselves as “special”. The death of every single elderly, actual high risk Marylander who cannot get a vaccine because of you whining teachers rests on your shoulders.
Hey, we are in this together! Just remember to wear the damn masks. I’m working on getting some more crap test kits from South Korea. Another man’s just is another’s treasure.
I meant to say junk. I’ll take South Korean man’s junk any day of the week.
Jay just wanted to share that the teachers in hcps are not making the decision to stay home. We are told by administration that we have to teach virtually. If you want to complain talk to the superintendent and the school board. They are making the decisions. I am a teacher who thinks virtual learning is a mess and we need to be back in school. We should have started the school year with the doors open. However those higher above do not care what I think nor have they ever asked.
(1) It’s funny that you think teachers have any say in this. Most want to come back and we have never been asked, nor do the people making the decisions even care what teachers think. We are about 1 step above the students in “power” in this decision. (2) Be a fkn parent and parent your kid. Don’t blame teachers…get out of the bars and brew farms and go interact with your kid if they are struggling so much. Be a parent…not a looneys bar b!tch.

DEISEL UP 6 CENTS IN 2 WEEKS. MARKETS STAGNET OR DECLINING. ARABS THREATENING PRODUCTION CUTS (2007 AGAIN). M.A.D.A ! MAKE AMERICA DEPENDENT AGAIN!
Every gas station in the area went up exactly 10 cents per gallon on regular. If we had an attorney general who was worth anything he’d be on the oil companies like white on rice about obvious price fixing.
Oil is commodity dumbass, it’s selling price ISN’T based on the cost of the material in the tanks. The price changes daily based on the refinery costs and the cost it would be to replace the inventory AT PRESENT VALUE.
I suppose that in your world, if i bought some gold in 1980 and i had it in my possession that I should sell it to you for $594.90 a gram and not based on $1,825.70 per gram valuation. Which is todays current market value and replacement cost.
Maryland actually has a law that was passed in 2001 prohibiting retailers from selling gas below state??established minimum prices derived from weekly wholesale prices. The law empowers the state comptroller to investigate reports of cheap gas and suspend or revoke the license of any retailer caught offering too??low prices.
The law’s supporters say it is necessary to prevent “predatory pricing” in which one retailer undercuts competitors to drive them out of business and then raises its prices.
So if a company like Costco wanted to use cheap gasoline pricing to drive more customers into costco they would have their licenses revoked. There are no other industries protected like this in the State with regards to someone selling something at extremely low margin or even at loss of profit.
So if you want to bitch about gasoline prices, the fix was actually created by Maryland and singed into law by democrats.
Sheetz and Wawa fought the legislation, but in vain. It passed both houses of the legislature by overwhelming margins and was signed into law by Gov. Parris N. Glendening on May 18, 2001. The following September, Comptroller William Donald Schaefer sent letters to the editors of several Maryland newspapers proclaiming the legislation to be “good for the consumer” and assuring motorists that the new law would not cause gas price increases. When the law went into effect that October, Sheetz and Wawa promptly raised their prices.
Anyone down for hitting up a rest area later?

Teachers and educational admin needs to get back to work or find another job. Its outrageous that they demand vaccination before returning.
As a nurse, I worked daily with patients, some who turned up covid positive. Many of us prepared our wills. Thankfully, most of us stayed healthy. I recently received my vaccinations, nearly a year after Covid was first identified in our country.
Teachers should NOT be bumped up in line unless they are over 75 years of age, have a serious medical comorbidity, or are any age with chronic medical illness.
Children generally do not carry or get sick from this virus. The ones that have, all had serious chronic medical illness. Teachers should wash their hands, wear a mask, and socially distance. That’s it.
As a teacher I haven’t heard one colleague say they aren’t going back until they get vaccinated. Hogan basically said on TV, teachers don’t need to be vaccinated to go back, so after that comment it was the Hunger Games for teachers to get a vaccine. Many secondary teachers will be back without a vaccination yet so I’m not sure where you are getting your information…or maybe you are just a typical Harco teacher bashing parent. It’s funny some parents think the teachers & our union is so powerful…lol. Let me tell ya, it’s not. Look back over the past 10 years if you want proof. Most teachers want to get back. I’ve done more work…lesson prep, meeting with kids, emails, etc than I have in years. I enjoy teaching so I don’t mind at all, but just saying I don’t think you have all of your facts straight.
The goal post continues to move. Perhaps not for you, but for many throughout our county and the State. I am not, as you speculate, a “typical HARCO bashing parent.” I do not have any children in the system. But, what is “typical”? That is a pretty disrespectful thing to say about parents in this county, many who have left or altered their own job situations to help their kids have some semblance of an education. It’s not going so well for many. Yet they continue to pay taxes that pays your salary to stay home and still get paid and keep your benefits.
Miss Gulp should be your name. wahahahaha
“Get back to work or find another job”. That’s a bit disrespectful too don”t ya think. You just proved my point. “To stay home”….lol. Ya think it’s been a year long vacation eh? I’d bet your view of teachers was already set before covid even existed.
If teaching in classrooms is more effective that this online or hybrid crap then that is what should be done. Teachers are paid to teach at the schools in person with students, not what is going on right now. Why would you want to do something you are afraid to do? If you are afraid to do your job then find another. What is wrong with that? If grocery stores and Walmart can remain open with all the people that cycle thru their doors, I sincerely believe that schools can be open.
LOL…Soul Crusher has missed the point totally once again. How the old mind deteroirates….sad
How the young mind believes that the government is there to help and does not oppress and enslave all members of society thru illegal and unconstitutional law. No. You’re missing the point. If you are afraid to do your job then go get one that you aren’t afraid to do. Fear is just an excuse for teacher’s unions to muster support and get paid for NOT doing their jobs. Half of this Country lost their jobs and are missing paychecks. The teachers are NOT missing paychecks and are getting bonuses every time a stimulus check goes out. Furthermore, teachers are still going to play roles of indoctrinating children to the Democratic “Not See” Party. I mean, for Christ’s sake, can’t you guys teach the kids the truth that Communism is a bad thing?
hahahah…Teachers Union has power…hahahahha…OMG people are so misinformed and believe whatever they read on Facebook. hahahhahah….Harford County Teacher Union…soooooooooo Powerful….
Well, try being a teacher in Harford County and not being a member of the union, even if you disagree with it….
hahhahah Is an asshat bitch
No, on the contrary, I have a lot of respect for teachers. I just don’t agree with their staying out of the classroom for the past year, when store clerks have gone to work every day and interfaced with the public, doctors, nurses, lab techs have been working with sick people and even dentists are back. Why is it that teachers who serve one of the least risky populations cant do the same? And still get paid. I cant believe it has gone on this long. And the kids are the ones that are suffering.
So, bring on the insults, people. That’s all you have when you lack the capacity to be thoughtful about anything of importance.
You do realize teachers pay taxes as well. You don’t pay their salaries, you pay your taxes and if you don’t you will go to jail. Long story short shut up and go back to your job checking for masks at Walmart.
OK, I realize you’re trying to be funny, but you’re not. You’re not my lover and I don’t recall saying teachers are paid by me or the general public, but in reality they are. When you are paid by tax dollars you are being paid by WE THE PEOPLE. Normally we can’t control how those taxes are spent and most of the time they are stolen by the elected officials whom claim to be our government, but really aren’t. Now, I’m not so sure you are right about taxation as when the government has become what it has, I believe government has forfeit it’s right to taxation. That’s my opinion. Now, I don’t like you invoking my screen name for anything, but you did this time in very poor taste. Rest assured, I won’t check you for masks, but I will shove one straight up your candy ass….traitor.
OMG Miss Gulch STFU and worry about yourself and your job. waaaaaaaaa
Have you ever asked yourself, “What is wrong with me?” Maybe you should, and then seek help.
Typical lib, Gulch can’t wait for her stimulus check. It will match her Obama phone. Now get back to changing bed pans. Try not to spill the piss this time!
I like men.
Grow a set before you challenge me. Imitator cunt rag
Nope. I’m a conservative and I have my own phone. And no, I dont empty bedpans but I do appreciate and respect the staff that does this work. I am a doctoral level professional but it wouldn’t be beneath me to empty a bedpan if my team member was busy. It might just be your bedpan one day.
Well since you are a “doctor” I guess that’s what makes you better than an elementary school teacher. That dude in Utah and governor no neck call themselves conservatives. Try not to drink too much bed pan juice Doc, ok???
“My team”, hahaha…. Way to take ownership of your people. Bet you are a super proctologist assman or should I say asswoman maybe you identify as x???????
Doc Gulch makes the best bedpan soup! Secret recipe
I like men….sue me
I see someone still hasn’t grown a set. It’s ok, just ask your mom. I’m sure she can help you out with the big set she’s packing away!
I suppose initially the fear was that school age kids could become infected (not show signs) and bring the virus home where someone could get infected and suffer. There are also many students right here in harco that have caught it….”got better” and are still showing effects from Covid. You can believe that or not, but I have heard from parents that it’s true. While school may have been virtual, parties were not. If everyone would have stayed home and followed the Covid safety rules, we probably could have gone back sooner…but as we know, that didn’t happen. Vacations, holiday trips & gatherings, and the virus spread…raising metrics and making it tougher to send kids back. I agree we should have gone back sooner than this, but I think the teachers are at the bottom on the totem pole of decision making power.
I respect that, but I think everything should’ve remained open. 98.6% of people who got infected completely recovered. COVID infections are on the decline and we’ve hardly had the number of people vaccinated to reflect that decline. The truth is COVID has already made its way thru the population and many people didn’t even know they had it. Natural immunity is kicking in, however we are told to get the vaccine and then still wear a mask. 2 of them even. This is ridiculous. If a healthy person, who has had the vaccine and is still told to wear a mask, then when do we ever get to not wear one again. I think this was NOT the 100 year pandemic and was definitely no where near as deadly as the Spanish Flu of 1918. The number of deaths may seem large, but in terms of the population of today to the population of 1918, the two diseases aren’t even in the same ball park. We’ve had deadlier outbreaks and we were never made to shutter the Country and we were never jailed for not wearing a mask. Quite frankly, it amuses me the way people wear a mask and gloves when going into a bank when just a year ago the same behavior was indicative of bank robbery. I call bullshit on COVID and that is the opinion of someone who had it.
Soulcrusher. You are my hero.
Miss Gulp!
I agree with most of what you said, but that can happen to anyone. I know of nurses and doctors who stayed on another level of their house for long periods of time, so as not to infect their children or elderly parents. Seems to me that working in a classroom with children is a little different risk than being breathed and coughed on by sick adults, don’t you?
COVID is an inflammatory disease. It affects various parts of the body, can have lasting effects-some of which we may not know for a very long time. But kids are far less likely to die from it unless they have a chronic illness. Those children should continue to learn virtually or be sequestered in smaller learning pods.
And I agree about some of the teachers who really do want to return to the classroom. It’s the teachers unions that are driving this bus, and it’s a shame.
Well lets be honest…those nurses & doctors look like they are in full hazmat suits, wearing top masks you can buy and a face shied. Teachers (so I’ve heard) were given an hcps mask probably made out of old sports uniforms.
We were initially given 1 regular and 1 N95 to REUSE. Now we can get a new mask weekly. I bought my own eye wear because it’s hard to see in a regular face shield all day. I have heard that the suits are very hot. Obviously, I do not work on a covid unit but have had patients (and fellow staff) turn up positive.
Changing piss pans is tough, but we are in this together!!!! Hahaha
I hoard toilet paper btw and nothing you can do about it ?
REUSE omg!!! STFU, just do you JOB and stop puffing your chest out. We all get that you are hot shit… Maybe Queen Shit of Turd Mountain!!! 🙁
Butcher, maybe you have learned something with the conversation (not yours of course) over the past few days, maybe not. I don’t really care. You are dumber than a door knob. Keep hoarding the toilet paper. You probably need it to wipe the dribble flowing out of your mouth.
Gulp, you know all about the dribble coming off of your mouth! Gulp gulp, dribble dribble…..
I only graduated from HS but I smart.
I see that Soul Crusher’s dickless wonder of an imitator has found a new host to cling onto. Hey bud, just be careful when you are going through your gender reassignment process. Heard it can be a real MFer and for a bitch like you that’s going to be some next level shit. I’m sure you will make a nice tranny one day. Way to follow the road your mom has paved.
I am gay. I like men…

I have been checking this website for many years. To be fair, I spend about 1 minute each time I check. I am amazed that I see the same people making posts and engaging in conflict with one another time and time again. What do you people do for a living that you spend your life in justifying your positions by engaging in conflict with one another……asking for a friend.
Well George happy to see that you are a fan of our handy work. I am a professional T-bagger. I drop my nuts on the foreheads of all that challenge me. Now that I answered your question George, what do you do for a living? Please don’t tell me that you are a fluff boy.
I also like men
