  1. Home schooling for most! Schools will be empty come fall! No sane parent is going to sacrifice their children! gtfoh

    1. @Grim Reefer I’m not looking for a job but thanks for your concern.
      tinyurl.com/ybx3v2jr 👀

    2. Most parents are going to send the kids back because the parents cannot stay home. You must be a welfare junkie, but most parents are not, ya loser.

    3. @Oof Bloof they spread all kinds of germs and viruses… in a bad year 80k people die of influenza year after year… we dont shut down schools though

  2. I thought they were telling us “All lives matter” 🥴 a couple weeks ago, unless you are a teacher or student…

    1. @Ralph Boyd I only report William H AKA The Tweatles when he pushing his hate. Get rid of the bum!

    1. Sending the teachers to their deaths, kids bringing the virus home to parents, GOP officials will not send their kids to school

    2. @Dave Haynes “I got hairy legs that turn blonde in the sun and kids like to pull uh rub my legs down” -Joe Biden
      tinyurl.com/v7picr3 👈😆

    3. The Tweatles 👈🏻That’s an intelligent response.
      Your a great example of why the US is ranked 27, in education on a world scale.
      You won’t understand. Your response will be more ridiculous jibber is he.

  3. It is shocking that school board doesn’t care about the health of their students and even too lazy to implement some rules to protect them. 😱

    1. Ha ha. You think Kids will wear masks in school? Dream on. There is nothing that can be done or the Progs in the school system would have the answers already. Gonna have to put the scamDemic on hold for school, LOL.

  4. You went from a president trying to give everyone health coverage to a president doing everything he can to infect everyone with a deadly virus.

    1. @Dave Schultz That’s another Trump lie and now we know you really are a Trumputin troll but of course we already knew that.

    2. @Dave Schultz
      137,000 dead (USA) not deadly?
      585,906 dead (internationally) not deadly?
      That’s nuts.

    1. Thats stupid. What do you think the schools should do to mitigate the WuFlu scamDemic risks? Kids are not going to wear masks. Parents can’t stay home with the kids. Not possible to social distance. What is your bright idea, lame brain?

  5. Everything you see is part of our religious extremists’ manually fulfilled “end times prophesies”.

    They can’t MAKE IT SEEM LIKE a biblical plague unless they get EVERYONE infected.

    1. @joshua traman u sound like a maniac, seek help fast not for corona but for that turd of brain you’re walking around with!

  6. Trump and his supporters do not care about the health of children. They want to retain power at all costs. They think that normalizing this virus will help them win. Vote BLUE to remove the GOP and trump.

  7. I wonder if these “open schools” idiots know that about 30% of kids under 18, who have been tested, have tested positive in FL.

    1. Right I just learned that today too. I live in Orlando and its beyond me that we are even discussing forcing them to school. My kids will not be going I don’t care what they decide smh

    2. Walter Bo ….. RIGHT JUST LIKE ….. THE MEDIA IS ESSENTIAL AND KEPT WORKING FOR 6 MONTHS…….. HOW MANY DIED OF COVID ????? ARE THEY CRUMBLING ???? HM…….. JUST A QUESTION , YOU MIGHT WANNA DISCUSS WHILE EATING YOUR TAKE OUT ……… TAKE OUT ….. IS SAFE ????? HM…….

    3. @joshua traman People will sue for anything. It’s the victim mentality that the Left has cultivated in people.

    4. Lucius Kiirus yes….yes…..yes…… it is their tactic to suppress free speech….. win or lose … is not their objective……. get people into legal fight …. hold up people’s lives and time and money …… pretty soon ….. people stop speaking out ….. thinking it is not worth the hassel…….. same tactic all over the world ……..

    1. @Paul N 7th grade is as high you go? I’m assuming that’s when you probably dropped out xD

  8. GOP: ProTEcT aLL fEtAL cELlS

    Also GOP: CHILDREN MUST DIE TO SAVE THE ECONOMY.

    Makes perfect sense. 🤦🏾‍♂️

    1. “I want to see everyone in a mask 😷 and not on a ventilator” Biden 2020 make America safe and free again , don’t risk the kids

  9. In the U.S. if parents put their children at risk, they get them taken away, but when the goverment puts chidren at risk, its for the Economy

    1. THE ECONOMY IS ALREADY IN THE TANK – THIS IS BEING DONE SO DONALD CAN KEEP SKIMMING OFF THE GOVERNMENT.

    2. All hail the all mighty dollar. That’s capitalism for you. Glad I live in a society that has “evil” social programs.

  10. Same people who labeled schools “teaching your kids bad stuff” are forcing schools to reopen so kids don’t become dumb!
    Makes sense.. like flat earth!

    1. @Ali B bro…. The comments in the video you sent spell it out for you. Did you even read them? The CDC had guidelines that were put in March. Governors run their own states. Trump didn’t give any orders to put infected seniors into homes. That was Cuomos decision. And if you’d watch your own video you’d hear it yourself xD

  11. Trump has DELIBERATELY helped the virus spread from the beginning. He is a sadistic sociopath who gets his jollies watching people suffer.

    1. As soon as Trump heard that the poor, people of color and the aged and medically compromised would die; he followed the Fascist Plan for Cleansing a society, just with out the GAS Chambers.

    2. Doug E ///////MAIN STREAM MEDIA =DEMOCRATS = ANTIFA = COMMUNIST = AIDS ………. ONCE INFECTED…… EVEN WITH TREATMENT …….. ONE CAN NOT BE CURED !!!!!! THE MEDIA’S JOB IS TO CREATE MISINFORMED ELECTORATE…. THAT WILL MAKE IRRATIONAL DECISION AGAINST THEIR OWN INTEREST ////////………. NOAM CHOMSKY …….

    3. he did stop all flights from china, pelosi encouraged people to party in chinatown a month later

  12. No surprise here, Orange County is majority republican. And we all know republicans are trying to pretend the virus isn’t a big issue.
