School age children do not have any special immunity to Covid-19, despite early speculation. At an overnight camp in Georgia at least 260 campers & staff tested positive. Among the 597 campers & staff there were 344 tested with 76% positive.

And this week in Jefferson Georgia, schools are opening without any mask mandate. Two girls from the high school were so concerned that they started an on-line petition asking that masks be required. They got 600 signatures. Not to be outdone the science deniers started their own petition asking that they not be mandatory. 200 signed this petition with comments like . “Only liberals can get rona and I’m not a liberal,” Another wrote - “TRUMP2020 no mask fo me.”

Also their families. If they were able to pass the virus around like that after 1 week, you have to wonder how their parents, siblings, grandparents, friends, etc are doing.

Proof that we're not putting in nearly enough money for education.
