Israel was forced to close their schools again after infections skyrocketed with schools opened. One school had 114 students and 14 teachers get infected.

This is exactly what's going to happen in the US as well, especially in the states that are seeing explosive infection rates at the moment.

Well, that's what happens if you keep high schools open (where the kids are much more susceptible) and don't attempt reasonable social distancing.

20 elementary school aged kids that must stay with their group? Teachers required to only interact with one group of kids? I'm less worried at least in areas that aren't at TX/AZ/FL levels.

I found an article that said there was exposure to a pre-symptomatic individual, but did they actually trace infection to that meeting?

They didn't get covid to be fair though. There was exposure, but no one tested positive.

These "it's a hoax until it happens to me" stories are super common in the US.

>Former game show host Chuck Woolery announced Wednesday his son has tested positive for COVID-19, just days after Woolery accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus in an effort to hurt the economy and President Trump's reelection chances.

>Woolery, who hosted several popular game shows including "Love Connection" and "Wheel of Fortune" and who is a staunch supporter of the president's, has since deleted his Twitter account following the announcement about his son.

>"To further clarify and add perspective, Covid-19 is real and it is here. My son tested positive for the virus, and I feel for of those suffering and especially for those who have lost loved ones," Woolery tweeted before his account disappeared.

Another one from today:

>An Ohio man who died due to complications from COVID-19 has drawn criticism for his staunch refusal to wear a mask earlier in the pandemic.

>Richard Rose III, an Army veteran who spent nine years in the United States Army according to his obituary, died on July 4. He was 37.

>Rose’s death gained notoriety on social media after expressing that he was “not buying a (expletive) mask” less than three months before his death.

>“I’ve made it this far by not buying into that damn hype,” he said in a post published April 28.
