High coronavirus cases rates have caused some schools to move online, at least temporarily, and some parents and teachers to call for more to do so.

It's too rapid and the kids are bringing it home from schools and infecting their whole household.

Sue Evans

If they are not going to implement strategies like masking, distancing and quarantine, then yes. Children are getting omicron and for most it's mild but they are bringing home to parents/caregivers/siblings which brings us back to hospitalizations/deaths.

Lisa Gore

None of the measures you mentioned have worked and kids have a 99.98% recovery rate, strong immune systems. Stop degrading our future leaders and Americans with muzzles!! It’s slowing their learning & development!

2 + 2 = 5, 3 + 3 = 4. Both were clearly false but not according to the Rules of Logic. Assuming, older ideas are better implies that it is true, we are social creatures by nature and cannot live in isolation. That is my opinion, I could be wrong. People infer, statements imply.

So far Omicron has only claimed one victim. That was Dec 24,2021 in Houston, by a man with underlying conditions. It's time to quit listening to our failed leadership, and move on with life.

I think it's still too soon for us not to wear masks indoors. Some of us are still getting vaccinated, we should wait a little longer.

So many people are not vaccinated and the new variant is more deadly and contagious

Dianne Price

This is a BAD idea!! Just because your vaccinated, you could still get it or pass it along if you're a carrier!!

Robert Northrup

If you are healthy you stand just as much chance of dying from the vaccine as you do by getting the virus. So if you're at risk keep away from other people. Them wearing a mask will not help you.

I think it was about time the CDC acknowledged fully vaccinated people shouldn't have to wear masks.

Take the mask off even if your not vaccinated the if you get the virus you have a 98% chance of survival

Robert Northrup

Masks are a stupid idea in the first place. I understand disinfecting hands and not touching your face after handling things other people touch, but masks? STUPID! Unless it is N95 compliant.

Johnny Mooney

Masks are ineffective! I watch people pull down thier masks and rub thier nose, wipe thier eyes and touch everything in the store spreading thier germs! Masks mandates are governments way of giving the paranoid a false sense of safety.

Tom Hamper

If the experimental shot (not a vaccine) was at all what it is purported to be, all those who have taken it should not at all be worried about what others do or dont do.

Chris Daniels

President Joe Biden wants to fund his massive infrastructure plan through increased corporate income tax rates. Polling has shown most Americans support such an increase.

Their success depends on nearly every tax funded activity: public education of workers, roads, bridges, sewer, mail,, law and enforcement, EMS, disaster protection, state/local funding & representation, etc. There is no reason that they would be immune or subsidized by all others paying taxes.

Wendi Newman

Corporate welfare is real. If we can't force them to pay 5heir employees a livable wage, then tax them to compensate.

Reginald Burch

Trump stupidly cut them. They need to go back up and more! I'm tired of the nations finance and debt being paid off the backs of the middle class. I'm tired of the people of this country getting screwed by the rich!

Tom

You better come up with a better plan. You and everyone else have always paid the bills. Tax this and tax that, we pay for it all. The corporation’s pass that to the customers. Time to get the facts.

Rebecca Palacios

Because they are entities not people, and people, mainly blue collar, should not have to carry the United States and big corporations on their backs! We are the ones who work to make the money for these companies, many of which don't pay a living wage.

The companies will just raise the cost of everything and pass the cost down to the consumer. It's the way Democrats destroy America.

Randel Hearne

They will just pass the increased tax on to the consumer in higher prices. or reduced compensation to their employees.

Steve TheBmann

These taxes would be passed directly on to consumers. This would fuel inflation.

Will Mason

Corporate taxes are not paid for by corporations. They are paid by consumers. This is the middle class tax hike Biden promised would not happen. It is simply disguised as something someone else pays. Just another lie.

Tom

You have this one correct. We the consumers support the corporations and will be paying the higher taxes. Anything that the “President“ wants to spend, will always be paid by the general public, no matter how you present it. It pays to know who your voting for.
