We adopted a plan in July, based on expert health advice, with specific community case thresholds determining certain formats of attendance. We now have abandoned that plan. Our local count exceeds the threshold for a hybrid return for highschool by 1.5x. We lack staffing to cover certain illness

It is the leading story on most of major news sites. It was all a made up game with a predetermined conclusion. How many dems/republicans are laughing and patting themselves on the back this morning telling each other 'Same time next year?'

Don't care one way or another, nor do those making the decisions in Congress, as they still are getting a paycheck.

Defund all welfare programs. Make people responsible for their own actions.

Trump basically has no say in this, it's on the shoulders of Congress. Might want to study what all the 111th Congress did back in 2009-11... this is all about payback.

Zaos Gonzolez

Spend the money on something else. Send missiles to israel instead.

Toasty

Its all a game both sides are playing with real people in the middle. Trump should step aside and tell congress this mess is all theirs.

Max

Schumer knows this is all on the backs of the democrats.
