Out of curiosity, what is their normal occupancy rate?
Normally not this full during the off season.

Thanks, Eeyore. Anything positive in your life? Don’t you get tired of worrying so much?
I'm not worrying, I'm posting facts. Something Fox and CNN are lacking at this time, or really anytime.

Our school district said they would start the year out with a "new and improved" online only experience.

My two oldest like that, but it's been brutal for my autistic one. While he can't speak, you can tell from his body language he really likes school. We just can't provide that structure at home he likes.

Our school district will do 4-5 weeks on in school instruction and then go FT online. Those 4-5 weeks will be on an A-B schedule and kids will be surrounded by partitions and wear masks. Can you imagine how many boogers and how nasty those partitions will be after a class of 6 year olds get in there?!

That's not what you said. You said "They said that...then new information came out and they changed course." That's not true. They didn't change their opinion on whether or not it made sense to wear masks. They decided to stop lying to the public.

:roll: :roll:

I went back and looked at what he said.
“Well, the reason for that is that we were concerned the public health community, and many people were saying this, were concerned that it was at a time when personal protective equipment, including the N95 masks and the surgical masks, were in very short supply. And we wanted to make sure that the people namely, the health care workers, who were brave enough to put themselves in a harm way, to take care of people who you know were infected with the coronavirus and the danger of them getting infected.”
He didn't mislead the public to have more deaths or because of anything nefarious.

Politicians and officials lie to us all the time! Iraqi oil will pay for the war. Mexico will pay for the wall. If you like your doctor, you can keep him. Trump lies every time he speaks. Lindsey Graham is LIVING a lie as a straight man. Biden plagiarized and lied about his record on Iraq. :lol:

That tweet demonstrates a lack of understanding of both psychology and communication/messaging.
