to have families infected, spreading it to other adults in the community, and so on (we all know school staff is disposable and kids just get the sniffles).. By the Nov election a good portion should be infected. I hope it doesn't stop voters from mailing in their votes for the next Sec of Educ (if that is who approved of this position).

No one is an Island, entire of itself; every person is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main.

Everyone's death diminishes me, for I am involved in humankind. Therefore, send not to know for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee.
