    This is so aggravating, as our president, he should be informing the public on the truth of our environment, not take that information away from us and making things much worse. Disappointed but not surprised.

    Step1 - get a working vaccine. Step2 - convince more people to take it. There are quite a few people (anti-vax and others) who will be reluctant to take the first round of vaccines. Are you guys ready to get it right away? Should schools require it?

    I feel like schools should require the vaccine so school districts can go back to normal a bit sooner.

    I dunno how to feel about this, I feel like they should've let her stay but at the same time I feel like they ejected her for a reason, if the reason is just because she's with the NYT than that's stupid.
  • josephinelamb on 14 Sep 20
     
    I think that because she didn't obtain correct press credentials that they had every right to ask her to leave. Plus, they gave her the choice to stay as long as she wasn't reporting.

    I agree with Josephine, but I think that Trump saying that the Times is "failing" and an "enemy of the people" is a bit extreme.

    I think it is terrible that the family lost their child due to Covid, but then again this is only one out thousands of kids to actually die. Unfortunately people are going to die from this but I think it is best if we try to get back to normal as fast as we can.

    It is scary how big this virus has become and how deadly it can be to anyone. I think we need to keep trying to stay safe and help others be safe and healthy too. Especially how it was a young child that passed due to Covid is scary.
  • jcollins438 on 03 Sep 20
     
    This is very horrible and I think for this reason a lot of schools are closing. It's hard to keep everyone safe when everyone is itching to get back to normal. We have to remember this is kinda real and even tho it stinks we have to try to keep everything normal.
  • jessicasolorio on 03 Sep 20
     
    I agree that its awful that a child passed due to the virus but I disagree when people say that they're just one of the many to come. Although unfortunately, it's true, we should use that as a reason to slow down the reopening of schools and other places. Our safety and health should always come before numbers on a chart.
  • stephanie2003 on 03 Sep 20
     
    This is the scary part about going back to school when there is a pandemic going on, you don't know what's going to happen, I think this is why most schools are closing and doing online because they want to keep everyone safe and still have them "in school".
  • kennalee04 on 03 Sep 20
     
    that is really sad, but this is a new situation for everyone and there are no previously written guidelines for how to handle it so in reality things like this are expected until we know how to fix the problems. it's all trial and error
  • makosa23 on 03 Sep 20
     
    This is so awful and terrifying. because we all going to school 2 or 3 in week and maybe someone have a Corona and when i think that, we all have to wear mask and we should do social distance until Corona is end.
  • ysolorio743 on 03 Sep 20
     
    The worst thing that could happen to anyone is to lose family, That can be the worst of the pains. Also I don't think it is right to say that is was one from many to come. This is sadly true, this is not near a good think honestly they should've waited more to re open schools. I would rather keep people safe and alive then get an education!

    It's terrible that this is all happening, Hopefully people listen to the guidelines that people set to stay safe and we can all get back to normal life soon. -Khuntley170

    This is probably the worst-case scenario as we begin going back to school here in Iowa. The fact that this happened to a child is beyond belief. It is so scary to go to school when you are not sure if you are truly safe. We have had up to four cases here at AL, and it is only growing which is probably the scariest part.
  • mavalos442 on 03 Sep 20
     
    I think it's terrible how a young child died from Covid, now his family has to mourn his death. Though there are many other cases just like this one of children dying from this virus yet schools around the country are being reopened ignoring these deaths. Not only that but opening schools could cause an impact on the spread of the virus.
  • jcooley186 on 14 Sep 20
     
    I really think that this is terrible, that this and a bunch of cases like this happening in multiple states all over the country. I believe we might have opened too early to really guarantee the safety of these children and kids in class. Of course, we want to go back to normal, but we can't if we don't try to distance ourselves and make an attempt to prevent it spreading. Just because it doesn't hurt YOU doesn't mean it won't hurt others.
  • haileyraymer on 14 Sep 20
     
    this is bad because a young student died. but there is a lot of children who haven't died this kid is the first young kid to die due to Covid. and even though this is terrible we have to think of the majority and not just go off of one kid that died.
  • jsachs097 on 14 Sep 20
     
    This is definitely scary and unthinkable, especially being so close to "home". There are a bunch of cases like these happening, which is sad. I honestly think we opened too early. With having online school available in Iowa now, I don't understand why we did not use that to our advantage to keep us all safe, and work from home.

    Having an international lockdown seems like it would be a little bit excessive but I understand the percussions.
  • aurora216 on 14 Sep 20
     
    An international lock down is a little too much but depending on how bad the situation is then it would be understandable because we don't want anything bad to happen out of all the things we can do.

    I think this is not a valid news source because it never directly quotes nor shows evidence of trump calling fallen soldiers "losers" or "suckers" but it does in fact show him denying these statements this shows no reliability on this news source because they never backed up their statement of saying trump called soldiers losers

Nearly 9,000 Florida Children Diagnosed With Coronavirus in Two Weeks as Schools Reopen - 4 views

    "Shortly after the order was issued, the Florida Education Association filed a lawsuit saying that the order defied recommendations from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on safely reopening schools."
  • xxchrysxx on 03 Sep 20
     
    I think we opened the schools to early. This is a great example of why. No matter how many precautions we take into effect to keep the schools and people inside safe, we still don't know enough about this virus to be able to fully be safe. In the artical it says "Across the different age groups listed in the pediatric report, there are 17,311 confirmed cases among Florida children between 14 and 17." In the highschools, thats the age group in our highschools, and that is the group that is mostly getting the virus. It's scary to think about getting sick when you have other family to worry about if they get it.

    This is pretty biased, but what do you think? I honestly just want the riots to stop, there's a big difference between peacefully protesting and exercising your amendments and burning down buildings and people's livelihoods for "justice".

    It really makes you think what two more people could have done to help the fire department. Unless you are in a position of power in the government, voting is the most important thing that we, the people, can do. Every single vote matters and counts toward a better tomorrow.
  • lando_lobster on 03 Sep 20
     
    Please, Please, Please, when you turn 18, vote. Vote at every election, anything that you have interest in, vote in it. It is a million times better to vote than to not. Voting is key to how America works, if you don't vote, I believe you don't have a right to complain about what the voting was about. Let's say it's the 2016 election, and you HAD a chance to vote, yet you didn't. I then believe if you complain about a candidate winning and you didn't like that, that is your own fault because you did not vote for the person YOU wanted.
