Defiant California Parents Send Child With COVID To Elementary School, Trigger Outbreak

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Parents defied a county health department’s orders and sent their COVID-infected child to school last month, triggering an outbreak among the students, officials reported.

Seven other students at Neil Cummins Elementary School in Marin County, California, subsequently tested positive for COVID-19 and 75 students had to quarantine, which meant they could not travel or visit relatives over Thanksgiving week, the Marin Independent Journal was the first to report.

One of the seven students with COVID-19 was the sibling of the first to test positive.

Their parents were told in early November that one of their two children tested positive for COVID-19 and they were told to keep both children at home and to notify the school in the town of Corte Madera. They did neither, officials said.

1. They aren't going to be popular at the PTO meetings...

Probably should move and change their names!

[SoCalNative]

2. They should be locked up

and their kids taken away.

[RFCalifornia]

9. If you can be convicted for knowingly spreading HIV to someone

Then that should cover COVID as well

[PTWB]

18. My thoughts exactly.

[Vinca]

3. Parents of the kids who got sick should sue them for as much as they can get.

[tblue37]

4. There should be serious legal consequences for such actions!

[Hekate]

5. Perhaps the parents of families who had to quarantine instead of seeing relatives can gather outside

… of these morons’ house to express their displeasure.

[BlueJac]

6. You can't sue Trumpians...

They will scream!

[RFCalifornia]

8. More likely naturopathic nuts

We do have looneys on the left too

[Tree Lady]

10. This could very well be the far left

When to comes to vaccines just as bad. I know a few, very progressive but go to natural path doctors, eat healthy, take supplements.

We can't blame it just on Trumps people although they seem to be many more and louder.

That area is very liberal I use to live about 45 min away and had family there. Upper middle class and people with money. Few actors live in the area.

7. Oh god, Marin County of course

The County with the most privilege

[marybourg]

11. And the highest vaxx rate.

[RFCalifornia]

12. But the Antivaxxers in Marin are a special kind of crazy

[marybourg]

13. They are everywhere.

[Coventina]

14. Reckless endangerment. Child endangerment. Throw the book at 'em.

Attempted homicide of the teacher, etc.

[Sympthsical]

15. Before I opened this post, I said, "I bet this is Marin County"

That place, for all its blueness (82% for Biden in 2020), is one of the original anti-vaxx madhouses in America.

It's the kind of place where homeopathy can be a way of life. I'm pretty sure the rich and oblivious alternative medicine stereotype came from there. I think Gwynneth Paltrow is an unofficial mascot.

16. Lock them up

That is all

[malaise]

17. Lock them up

That is all

19. You shouldn't send a kid with a COLD to school.

That's just antisocial.
