[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Also, parents in Wards 7 and 8 are being convinced their kids are at risk from schools opening and that’s not really true. There’s no evidence of substantial transmission at school at all. Rates are lower than in surrounding communities. Also, let’s stop with this fiction that most kids are at home. The majority of kids are utilizing some non-parent form of childcare and many of them are mixing with other kids and families. Unfortunately a lot of parents in Wards 7 and 8 (end elsewhere to be honest) aren’t not particularly scientifically literate and are falling for scare tactics, which the WTU is happy about. Also, let’s not close our eyes to the fact that at some schools in Ward 8, grade 9 averages attendance around 70%. I pick that grade because everyone in that grade is required to be in school. Some of these families get in legal trouble and/or fear getting in trouble over truancy. Is it shocking that they’d prefer DL for reasons having nothing to do with COVID or that, for entirely different reasons, lots of teachers would? We don’t normally do opinion polling on whether you want to go to school or send your kids to school or actually do your job. [/quote]

This! Black and brown people all over the U.S. are being convinced that COVID disproportionately impacts their communities. And even if those "facts" and "data" were true, why must they be so very sensitive to watching friends and neighbors get sick and/or die at alarming rates as compared to the rest of the general population. Black and brown people are so sensitive. They need to get outside their own bubbles and see the world through my white UMC glasses to truly understand the toll COVID is taking on our families.

Always love rich white women knowing what is best for brown and black women.  But its the science- its minimal risk!!! Yeah - you have had to wait 3 hours for healthcare and miss 3 hours of a paycheck or losing your job.  Oh and you have to take two buses in a pandemic to said healthcare.  Oh and you are good when your school's pod closes that you can just pick them up and then take two buses home and not miss the paycheck or work.  Oh and you can then just swing readjusting everything back to DL at the drop of a hat.  Oh and if you get sick you can miss 3 months of work (which is happening to some).

Black women die disproportionally in childbirth that isn't a myth people are passing around.

STOP telling Black women their healthcare fears aren't founded in reality.  Stop telling black women anything if you aren't black.

Oh but they don't know - stfu.  Your well intentioned bigamy is not going to work.

Now grasp your pearls and go watch scandal and think you know what its like.[/quote]
