School and College Reopenings

A national database that tracks coronavirus-related school closings, quarantines, cases and deaths.

Covid-19 Is Creating a Wave of Heart Disease -daily reminder that there is so much more to #COVID19 than death

New CDC guidance says COVID rates in children is steadily increasing. (not ideal for schools reopening)

LONG TERM BURDEN after COVID hospitalization — “Anybody who needed to be hospitalized or needed ICU support will suffer disability afterwards.”

This is why it is so dangerous to send kids off to school in the Republican states where Case Positivity ratio is 10-20%. Millions of Americans will now have a lifelong pre-existing condition and if the Republicans win the 2020 election through voter suppression, shutting down USPS and colluding with Russia and China and Ukraine, these Millions of Americans are looking at bankruptcy. Vote Blue, as your life depends on it!

With a population of 328 million in the United States, it may require 2.13 million deaths to reach a 65 percent threshold of herd immunity, assuming the virus has a 1% fatality rate.

Let’s not try out this strategy. What if the virus has a 2% fatality rate? 4.26 million deaths is acceptable?

AuburnFootball is down 16 players in practice this week due to #COVID19.

When players are tackled they breathe the virus onto everyone!!!

More than 1,000 students and staff at the University of Alabama’s three campuses have contracted COVID-19 since classes resumed August 19

Univ of Alabama threatening faculty if they reveal / share info about COVID outbreaks

This is downright criminal. Even third world countries do better than this. Trump and the GOP is making the US worse than a 3rd world country.

This is one of the threatening messages sent to University of Alabama faculty, claiming that sharing any information about COVID-positive students in class is a HIPPA [sic] violation. It is not a HIPPA violation, and saying so is designed to silence.

Aug 28th

On Friday, newly released figures showed the university recorded 481 new cases of COVID-19 on its campus in the previous three days alone.

University of Alabama now has more than 1,000 COVID-19 cases -- with nearly 500 in the past three days

Deadly deception practiced by Republicans that will needlessly infect / kill more Americans

More than 500 students have tested positive @UofAlabama, but teachers were told to keep a tight lid on it. “Do not tell the rest of the class,” the email reads, with the word “not” underlined.

Auburn University’s COVID-19 cases multiply by five (208 cases now)

EPIDEMIC WILDFIRE: University of Alabama reports 531 newly confirmed #COVID19 cases since classes resumed.

This even EXCLUDES the 311 cases identified at re-entry testing of 29,000 students/staff. These 531 are NEW cases after campus opened!

The city of Tuscaloosa (home of the University of Alabama) has closed bars and suspended bar service at restaurants for two weeks.

There are currently 531 cumulative cases of COVID-19 (students, faculty, and staff) as reported by the institution.

A typical brain-dead response from a Republican Governed state, shut down bars instead of shutting down schools

The University of Alabama has reported more than 560 coronavirus cases since classes restarted last week.
