 |  Was listening to Jimmy Fallon skit on the Axios interview while heading home today and while that was funny, when he switched to other news and played Trump trying to pronounce that, i couldn’t believe my ears.  I guess because he can’t sell off the rights to loggers in an existing national park, he really had never paid attention to it.  You could line up 100 3rd graders and not one would butcher it like he did.  Not sure there is room on the Trump mispronunciations hit parade, but they need to put that one at the head of the class. |

				 | Oh trust me I can use it, but I was under the impression MOST on this board were smart enough to catch the meaning, I don’t proof read every post like it’s tragic if spell check thought I meant there as opposed to their.  
 Hey I see your best president of our lifetime had Twitter and Facebook pull down his latest video spreading false a Trump knows it all medical information.  He is desperate to get our kids back to school full time and it matters not if those kids bring it home to sicken or kill more, he needs a win soon.  If he were a leader, we would have had this more under control with a national response, responsible national messaging and yet he has plenty of time for golf.  Wait for the colder weather and people are back inside, mix in regular flu and it’s not going to get better.

				 | Statistics 101, UMass 1976; Day one. The professor's statement that sticks with me to this very day; "You can make  any point you want with statistics, using the same data...."
 Does anyone really believe there is a single school district in America that is prepared and safe to return to the classroom?

 Whether you call it Vote by Mail or Absentee Voting, in Florida the election system is Safe and Secure, Tried and True," Trump tweeted
 
 And people actually suggest there is no mixed messaging from Trump

Great planning will only work if people mask up and socially distance all around.

 |  You must still believe in the Tooth Fairy too then, Jeff. If your district has a plan which involves putting the kids back in the classroom, it is flawed IMO. |

Problem is there's just too much covid out there and people who don't think about others for it to have a good chance of working. |

				 | I watched Yo Semite Sam cartoons for years and I still screw it up ; ) . Fortunately those cartoons were not a monolithic block and were diverse, like Latinos. 
 Schools:
 
A community with very low spread and high testing could go to school onsite for most.
 
It all boils down to who is stating it. If Trump says open schools he is trying to kill your kids. If Raimondo says open schools she is doing it with science or something.

				 | Or just maybe he’d rather golf than govern and this latest campaign attack by Trump I think even shocked his most loyal GOP minions.
 This was his rant on Biden.   “Take away your guns, destroy your Second Amendment. No religion, no anything. Hurt the Bible. Hurt God. He’s against God. He’s against guns. He’s against energy. Our kind of energy.”

I’m going to share an experience with you.  Just sharing, no judgement.
 
I was at RP two weeks ago.  We came up off the beach (with masks, like everyone else), and it was around 4:00 PM.
 
I got to my car and a suburban with Florida plates pulls up.  10 people pile out with the following:
 
Open Containers (I mean I get it, Florida Man not real smart).
 
No one in masks.
 
2 people actually fell down on flat pavement.
 
That’s why COVID is spreading.
 
Stay in your own state for your summer vacation.  Lord knows I wouldn’t leave MA for any reason at this point.
 
The great, unwashed masses.

 |  I don't know who Butchie is, if you were leaving the beach and socially distancing and wearing your mask should be safe right? There are no beaches in the RI communities with the highest numbers and current increase....a few communities account for much more then half of the cases in our state...the spread is there so maybe it's drunk Floridians but I tend to doubt it |
