My wife has taught special ed for 15 years. She HATES distance learning for her students. Those students are at a huge disadvantage as well. Some of them can't wait to get out of their homes to go to school as an escape. She is terrified of having to go back to distance learning again this fall and the repercussions that will go with it. I'm surprised more teachers don't feel the same way. She also has her summers off. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 IMO, there’s no reason school and sports in Nodak shouldn’t start. With more mask wearing and numbers dropping its time to move forward! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reason for the change is the CDC data collection is not set up to handle the turn around and reporting of this as quickly as it needs to be done. A new database was set up. Maybe this provides better transparency with better data. Good clarification. Very much hope that it leads to better/more accurate reporting and transparency. 45 minutes ago, UNDvince97-01 said: She also has her summers off.

I think you will see athletes from further away than Moorhead heading west if/when the fall seasons get cancelled. Most parents working from home right now.

Although I agree with you on school and sports, as the under-40 crowd is unlikely to die from this, what numbers in ND are dropping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waste of time if not. All Virtual shouldn't even be an option. For 8th grade and younger the options should be A. Homeschool or B. Pause your kids education until we have a vaccine in these crucial development years if the Teachers won't return to the Classroom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Quote COVID ICU patients' survival rate has improved - study (Reuters) - The death rate for COVID-19 intensive care patients has dropped by about one-third since the start of the pandemic, due at least in part to better hospital care, a review of published studies found. The global analysis of 24 observational studies of COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus, was published on Wednesday in the journal Anaesthesia. The research, led by Professor Tim Cook of England’s Royal United Hospitals Bath, found the overall mortality rate of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units (ICUs) has fallen from almost 60% since the end of March to 42% at the end of May. The rate was not significantly different across Europe, Asia and North America. Study authors offered several explanations, including “rapid learning that has taken place on a global scale due to the prompt publication of clinical reports early in the pandemic.” They also suggested that hospital ICUs might have been under greater pressure early in the pandemic. Doctors have reported progress in learning enough about the highly contagious virus to have a better grasp of key problems for many patients, although much work remains to be done on the development of treatments and preventive vaccines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point is that if you have 2nd and 3rd graders doing on-line only learning you are essentially doing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha, I misunderstood the spirit of your post. I agree with that. If kindergarteners are online, they might as well not even do anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxForever Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Can’t wait to hear that there will be a mask shortage when every retailer and online social media ad is selling masks. Once again, China reaps in the revenue. Brilliant. We’ve been duped twice now by them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oxbow6 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 If you have any doubt the media everywhere in this country has its own agenda look no farther than the Fargo Forum today. Headline read "COVID surge....ND hits another record high". 104 new cases reported in article. What was shamelessly omitted was there was no mention of the total tests that day to get that 104 number of positive cases. Also the article read "North Dakota's positivity rate has inched up over the course of this month hitting 2.5% Thursday, an indicator of worsening spread". What was not mentioned was the overall positivity rate to date in ND is 3.5%. As usual zero context......just promote fear. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
