1. Hah!

I beat the Lincoln project to it!

(Of course, far more peopel listen to the Lincoln Project than to me.)

2. And they have put in place all sorts

of precautions as well.

3. And that's because all of those countries imposed strict lockdowns

and other measures as soon as the virus turned up in their countries. Now that they've got control and have more than flattened the curve so there is less virus in the larger community, they have been re-opening their schools, but with restrictions and various social-distancing requirements. https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/school-openings-across-globe-suggest-ways-keep-coronavirus-bay-despite-outbreaks

4. Those countries have presidents

or prime ministers who ran their nations instead of watching Fox & Pals.

5. Sweden is the exception - no lockdown and they are paying the price.

It is bad enough that the Danish govt closed the border with Sweden and it will remain closed until Aug. 31.

8. So did Norway. Normally the border between the two countries

consists of little more than a sign, kind of like going between Wisconsin and Minnesota. Now Swedes, unless they are from the island of Gotland, can't enter the country at all unless they are quarantined for 10 days. A Swedish town on the border has a popular liquor store that depended mainly on Norwegians because the sales tax on liquor is much lower in Sweden, and they are just about out of business now. The Øresund bridge which links Malmö, Sweden and Copenhagen (the bridge that was the scene of the eponymous TV show) is basically closed.

6. Fine! Let our kids go to school over there!

Probably get much better education, too

7. Iowa alone had more new cases again yesterday than all of Germany.

Population 3.1 million vs. 84 million.

Corona controls are still mandatory, and I noticed a 4th of July party with 300 guests near the Kaiserslautern US base was broken up by police.

9. One of those things is not like the other ones.

10. So transparent and he shouldn't be cleared for reporting Dems thinking?

No Grifter, you want Reps. to believe that.

Truth be told, I don't give a fuck about schools, that can wait.

Human lives including black lives, all matter! Kids in cages for seeking safety?

Piss off for being stupid AF & flipped by Putin & apparently China too & and all the dumb assholes surrounding you who continue to act like all is good, due to their greed being OK through all this?
