-Class of 2003 guy I know just got out of 10 days in the unit.
-Class of 04 guy I know just lost his dad (old) and sister-in-law (not). His brother was in the unit too but made it out. Mom caught it too, but had been vaxxed, and was fine.
-Friend from back home in Centex (she's 43) has a niece and nephew-in-law in the unit. Good times.

So one person you know firsthand and some people that other people you know also know?
I know the 04 guy he speaks of. Awesome guy. Very tragic.

LOL lets play a game....how many pro-mask individuals are touching their face or otherwise participating in activities that will likely contaminate their mask....

This was from a Nextdoor post that came up in my email. Guy is upset that McKinney ISD has not offered virtual option so far for this coming year. The bolded emphasis is mine - can't believe this attitude.

Quote:

MISD - Elementary option to go virtual for Fall 2021.
It seems like FISD is offering a virtual school option for Fall of 2021 due to rising cases and children under 12 still not having any vaccination. I support this 100% but I live in MISD school district and my child is 9. I don't understand why this is so political and the officials do not seem to have a problem with putting children at risk. It seems like we have learned nothing from the past. I don't want to see a case or two and then officials take some action rather I'd like them to be proactive about things and offer virtual at least to children under 12 for Fall 2021 and see where things go with vaccination.

Just think about it - what is the big deal if our kids do not get proper education for a year or two until Covid settles down. It is not like the world is going anywhere, it is pretty much same situation everywhere. I am very unhappy about where MISD is going with this situation and hope that they'd do the right thing for the children and their families.

At this point - if this isn't thrown out that is - I'll be more pissed at Abbott for not fighting his a** of like DeSantis is than at Pie Man (whose been ridiculously consistent since last March - the guy loves masks more than life itself).

Agreed just emailed the governor. Not sure what else to do. Maybe Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton as well.

My kindergartener will not be in school if there is a mask mandate. Hell she already reads at a 3rd grade level and just started doing fractions this summer. It looks like we will start looking for private school/home school options again.

The root of the justification here (below) is a) our very own Fauci-lite, Dr. Huang, b) the always-wrong UTSW forecast report and c) Clay's color-coded chart...now at RED!, d) SCIENCE

Hard left judge + "science" = intro to totalitarianism



11. According to UT Southwestern 's most recent COVID- 19 forecast and modeling as of August 9, 2021, the rate of COVID- 19infectionsinDallas County is reaching or has reached exponential growth rates. COVID-19 hospitalizations have increased in Dallas County by over 101% over the past two weeks and it is estimated that total COVID-19 hospitalizations are predicted tor each over 1,500 hospitalized cases by August 26.

12. Judge Jenkins regularly relies on information provided to him by various business leaders, community activists, healthcare providers and scientists including Philip Huang, MD, MPH, the Dircotor and Health Authority for the Dallas County Health and Human Services Department. In making decisions to protect the safety and well-being of Dallas County Citizens, Judge Jenkins bases his decisions on sound medical evidence and is driven by the most up to date public and non-public data from, among others, the Dallas County Health and Human Services department, the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, and North Central Texas 'Trauma Regional Advisory Council.

13. As a result of the information shared with Judge Jenkins, on August3,2021,Judge Jenkins moved the county-wide risk level from color-coded Orange: Extreme Caution to the most serious color-coded risk level of Red: High Risk of Transmission. This move was made to assist in fighting the escalating trajectory or cases and the spread of the Delta-variant of COVID-19, 'which appears to account for approximately 78% of sequenced strains ofCOVID-19 in the last two weeks from the UT Southwestern Medical Center.


17. Judge Jenkins cannot be precluded from implementing the mitigation strategies he believes are sound, reliable, and backed by scientific evidence on which he relies and must be able to mitigate the damage, injury, and potential loss of life related to the COVID-19 virus.

Some UT Health doctor on Fox 4 spreading CoVId fear porn about how many more kids they are seeing in hospital. All anecdotal and intended to drive fear in those who are already COVID zombies.

I'll bet there was no mention of any metric or data point they would use to rescind the mandate Jenkins is going to put in place tomorrow. Even if there was one, we're going to do this dance again in a few months when the next variant emerges.

I haven't checked our daily numbers, but I imagine we're close to peaking with delta, if we haven't already. Also, this does nothing for the vaccine efforts for now, but I'm sure he'll go full vaccine passports if he's allowed to ignore Abbott on this.

CDC reports that for the week of July 31 the rate of hospitalization with Covid for children 5 to 17 was 0.5 per 100,000,

The hospitalization rate for school aged kids looks just like it did during the last peak. Basically nonexistent.

Are you really good with Jenkins usurping power like this? His county entity only exists because it is authorized by the state. At this point he has gone rogue and has no real power to tell me or anyone else in Dallas County what to do. As noted above, there will be no end to this stuff with this guy; and there is no telling what other areas of our lives he is going to self-authorize himself to control.

Even if True and others are "masks just don't bother me that much" - guy what about Clay makes you think this will be enough for he and the mob? If this were to end up (god forbid) not being overturned and he does indeed have the ability to control when the mandate is in place and when it isn't - then what's to stop him from going after restaurant / retail capacity ? I mean, if the "science" says it would save lives, gotta do it right ??

Oh and I hope everyone is looking forward to a #maskedup State Fair, if it's "safe" to have it at all that is.

More and more, home schooling is a better option for parents, students and teachers. Sad the ISDs and Boards don't appreciate that they are pushing their customers away from their already mediocre services.
Its just not feasible for most families that require both parents to have full time jobs. The ISDs are really gonna struggle in general this year with a lot of 1st year teachers anyways. My wife's middle school lost nearly 20 teachers who were just fed up and reached a breaking point last year. My wife has 3 interviews this week alone with different companies to get out of education (fingers crossed she gets offers for her sanity's sake).

Dr. Huang (an apolitical, unbiased Dr who doesn't even know the difference between democrat and republican!) can slap together a report concluding anything that is needed to justify more "life saving" actions if that's what Clay needs.

Once the State Fair death trap is addressed, we can't forget that Halloween is only 2.5 months away . Never to early for him to start working on an analysis that "projects" 80% of all would-be trick or treaters would get covid.

The ISDs have made it hard for teachers to teach and it's just not worth it for so many employees. Teachers cant teach, kids cant learn, and parents are bound by the whims of ISD board members and the loudest protestors. Not a great scenario for anyone. If this goes on again for another year I envision current resentment create dissension and Texas seeing a increase microschools and alt-learning programs.

Good luck enforcing that. Put mask on to walk in fair. Take off the rest of the time.
If the fried food contains enough grease/oil, you can extrude it through the mask directly into the customers mouth. That's the safest way

Just sent emails to RISD Super, Board, and General Counsel urging them to make no changes in policy until this is settled by the courts, and that any policy put in place against the Governors orders before its settled in court will be met with a lawsuit.

Now off to call my lawyer friends to find the right firm to prep a lawsuit.
