The virus does not give a shit how old you are.
Sturmdodo
Maybe don't obey people who want to kill you?
MrRandom314159
It's like the major factor of this disease is how infectious it is, not how deadly it is.
DoomHammer67
As someone who lives in GA, I can only hang my head in shame. I've voiced my thoughts/concerns to any government officials who will listen.

Well if they didn't get tested, there wouldn't be a problem. -Trumps take.

“No one could’ve predicted this” - Georgia’s Republicans.

Looks around at coffin stores opening in town * I think things are going great, big boost to the economy. - God help us. This guy is failing
Evanrudeplz
Don't vote republican, kids.
SomethingOtherThanMyRealName
Shocked. Shocked, I tell you. If only there was a way this could have been anticipated.
sorryiguess
At this point I’m just guessing the US “elite” unofficially see this as a convenient way to reduce our population and increase profits...
sorryiguess
Not a conspiracy theorist, just thinking if money drives every decision, there has to be money in letting a pandemic run its course.
samanthadlcruz
In a few weeks the Georgia Governor is going to discover that this disease is contagious.
samanthadlcruz
and a few months from now hopefully the voters will teach him that we don't like it when the governor tries to murder us.
Tomadzo
Not the W.H.O. here anymore because Trump took us out of that too

The idea of student sacrifices makes me sad. The number of parents that are lost after they did this to their kids doesn’t bother me.

" the idea of student sacrifice makes me sad" - 2020 In a nutshell.
Nunyajonesinc
Yep they are gonna totally get a quality education this year, teachers changing as fast as black jack dealers at a casino
iusedtodream
Not to mention stressed tf out. That's how I learn best, when I'm afraid everyone around me is sick and people I love might die.
funnyguyfyi
Didn’t see that coming at all
SkinnerTBD
shhhh, posting stuff like that will get you suspended or expelled!
SatansLeftNipple
You’re saying that like it’s a bad thing
CarlottaVonSprockett
That’s the best of both worlds. You’re a hero for telling the truth AND you’re safe at home.

Free vacation you say?

Are they playing minecraft?
Rayxzerox
there are educational versions of minecraft, no idea what they teach or how, just saw it when I was buying another copy a few weeks ago.
METROlD
There's an after school program in my neighborhood that uses minecraft to teach kids how to code. It's probably something similar.

PoliticalWanderer
So Fauci says schools should only reopen if it's safe, and teachers and admins say it's not. Sounds open and shut to me.
FisheswithDynamite
Fuck. This. Country.
RisingPhoenix92
It ok they are the Guinea pigs to see if it is safe for R politician kids to go to school
Sage042000
I assumed the politicians are doing what the other rich folks are and paying teachers to host private, social distanced lessons.

I just wish this wasnt the only way teachers could make a decent salary.
MaryPupSkins
I can't imagine what went wrong with Trump's idea about opening school and the Governor of Georgia that supports this one?
HCBailly
jeremiahblatz
This is the same Governor of Georgia who made it illegal to require masks, right?
TheDogEnd
and suing his own mayors for mandating masks in their own cities
iwaslikeduuude
That’s the one! Sued our mayor over her mask mandate. Oi vei.
HypnoJack
How popular is he in Georgia?
iwaslikeduuude
Basically hated within the Atlanta metro but go about 20 miles outside the perimeter and he’s the redneck king.
LordElrond8
Outside the city, extremely
imoutofnames
Good thing kids or immune and can't spread the disease, right?
siler7
You can't spell "are"? Lol.
imoutofnames
Sorry i fat fingered a suggested word on my phone.... you sure showed me.
LazyJones1
Actually, two recent studies seemed to indicate that they are in fact 10 to 100 times more likely to transmit the virus.
TheobromineAddict
Yep. Gonna be a lot of orphaned school children after they take the disease home. I want to see a count of dead parents next month.
IndigoNarwhal001
Theres an exception for at most 260 kids
TheobromineAddict
Maybe the sick ones are all the undercover cops?
dontrike
Unfortunately a kid in Georgia died just recently to the virus.
Danishlmgurian
well apparently, the kids will get it and just get over it. Isn't that what some powerful politician or something said? /s
PurpleNinjas
Ya that would be the missouri governor ?
wiggadewah
*unelected governor.
FitzFarseer
Wait that happened? There’s so many stupid things said I can’t keep@up
Danishlmgurian
The governor of Missouri apparently said that when the kids go to school, and they will, they will get Covid, and they will get over it.
Muffyns
Idk whats worse the idiots in charge spewing bullshit or the moronic populace who believe them
collin092490
Yeah... the CDC and Fauci are incompetent for saying kids should start going back.
eedude
Too sooon
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
We should listen to that economist fella, he knows more about diseases
theonetruezuul
Pretty sure that was sarcasm
rainevasquez
I hope so... but it’s pretty bad sarcasm... I think it’s the order of the placement of incompet? I dunno tho
Chereazi
Fauci said they shouldn't as long as there's a significant risk. And the only one in the CDC saying that is a trump appointee...
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
Sarcasm my man
ilikepot8os
Poes law my man. It's impossible to determine a real political opinion from sarcasm. Since opening is the official policy its not far fetch
ACSwineburne
They aren't being sarcastic... they even posted articles on other messages. It's just stupid.
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
Oh shit really? Fuck, I seriously thought they were being sarcastic
TrueSandwich
Unless somebody puts the /s always assume they're being serious
BichesLoveMy120mmSabotPracticeRound
I was thinking the same but it sounded way too stupid to be true lol
Chereazi
Nobody could have expected that a pandemic was this infectious
faoltastic
So if math serves right 2% Trump and Devos have given the death sentence to 5 kids not the first time that tangerine has tried.
ProfessorPritt
The wanted it to happen; Trump Republicans want children and teachers to die
MrZev
They only tested positive because we tested them.
attofreak
What does that word even mean!?
comacomacomacomachameleon
contagious
fukkettinha
Nobody. Who could have known?
MaryPupSkins
It can't be Covid or that it's a transmissible virus. I heard that was Fake News from your favorite President and Fox News. /s

Whoever downvoted this: "You can't say it's Fake! It's only Fake when I say it's Fake!"

children aren't immune to Covid-19. they are more likely to not show symptoms and have a better immune response against it

FYI the ":/" denotes sarcasm.

Oh yeah, American political campaigns just what Imgur is missing
parrotPositivityDog
As Trump put it in the interview with Jonathan Swan: “The virus is under control ... as much as it can be controlled.”
gradeD
Is this what people voted for? His power to lower expectations?
gradeD
Make America excuses again
ilikepot8os
He's not wrong, given out leadership and morons per capa it's as controlled as its going to get till something changes.
hogeyegrex
Nah. He’s wrong. If he’d said, “...by idiots like me.” Then he’d have been right. Other places seem to be doing better.
parrotPositivityDog
Geez... Trump is the one who undermined CDC, steal PPE & ventilators from states, force reopen & refuse to wear mask! The idiot is Trump!
InsensitiveComments
I hope we had something to make bad presidents actions accountable as president for both parties. (one that works)
Darkspire
Yeah it's not even close to being a reasonable attempt at controlling it
ilikepot8os
That was my point. It's as controlled as it'll get with antivax, anti mask, anti science people in charge
