    There's been no reason for non-essential businesses to be open since April. I said it when I started this thread and I'll say it again, this country is a joke, this country is garbage. Our government sabotaged us, we could have saved so many lives, so much time and so much money if we would have simply listened to the scientific conscious and seriously locked down.

    We could have BEEN re-opened - legitimately with cases under control, for a whole month by now if we simply copied what the vast majority of other civilized countries. Instead, we will slowly strangle our quality of life, our personal health, our loved ones, and our economy dead until a mass rollout of vaccines comes. Play stupid games win stupid prizes, congrats Merica.

    Should state publicize COVID-19 cases by individual in schools?

    Transparency, and sharing gives people the real picture, but many schools are keeping it private. This article said only 270 colleges out of 1000 responded to providing information. At least UT is not hiding data. I hope all our schools at all grade levels take this approach as fall semesters begin in Texas.

    After voluntarily publishing its data, UT-Austin now has the unwelcome distinction of leading U.S. colleges in COVID-19 cases

    State won't collect, release data on coronavirus cases in Tennessee schools

    6 football teams not practicing; GHSA reports 655 COVID-19 cases

    The most important thing in war is the will of the population to fight. We simply don't have the will to fight this.

    I’d argue this is due to the utter dysfunction and malignancy of our leadership, by governance and media.

    When our president comes out says it’s gonna disappear, floats out fake news, refuses to wear a mask until over 100k have died, when the right wing media wages daily war with horrendous misinformation, when the tons of republican representatives spew misinformation and refuse to support masks and precautions.

    This country has politicized basic math and science. Specifically the majority of the Republican Party has decided it’s simply against it. How are we ever supposed to properly protect ourselves as a nation when a major party, the current governing party of a 2 party system, is yelling fake news at scientific consensus?

    What I’ve witnessed from this country during this pandemic has truly scared the **** out of me.

    It begs to ask what got us here, and the number one thing I can point to is the blatant corruption of our political system.

    Trump his enablers and his cult never even tapped into their collective will to fight Covid19. Instead they actively fought against the efforts to fight this pandemic.

    No kidding, and Birx is a major part of the messaging problem. When she accompanied Mike Pence on a visit to a large church service in Dallas where no social distancing took place and minimal masks were worn at the end of June, she praised Governor Abbott’s reopening plan and decisions (this was before Abbott mandated masks). Instead of stepping up as a a public health leader during a pandemic, she sold out to President Trump.

    These stories sound eerily similar to those shared by @BallaDoc on this board. Who to believe: quacks like Stella Immanuel or doctors like @BallaDoc and Dr. Varon that are treating people with serious cases of COVID-19 every day? The choice is really difficult. :rolleyes:
