Pandemic 2020

[DIY-HP-LED]

Parent of two teens in school, one 13 and one 16. It’s a hard discussion for sure - weighing Covid risks against falling behind educationally/socially. My wife and I have discussed it quite a lot over the past two years.
Both kids much prefer to be in school, as do the majority of their friends, FWIW.

Regarding homeschooling, I will say that in our area, the people that choose to homeschool tend to all be be right wing evangelicals. By home schooling I mean choosing to do the educating at home outside of a traditional school versus choosing remote learning through a school system. Just an observation though, YMMV.
We know two families through sports that have chosen that route for their families. Both decided to homeschool because they felt their values were not reflected by the local school district. Both have recently seized on CRT and transgender acceptance in schools as further proof of why they should be homeschooling. Both of the moms doing the homeschooling have only a high school education. I have no issue with their level of education but do question why they think they are more qualified to teach their kids than actual trained educators. Both families are fully unvaccinated too, so homeschooling for them at least has nothing to do with trying to avoid COVID.
Point being, homeschooling is an option but my general experience is that those doing it are doing so because they have a right wing agenda, not a health based one.

Their "reasons" for keeping their kids out of school are bogus and they are part of a cult that is harming their children's future while they ram their superstitions and prejudices down their throats. Objecting to nonexistent CRT means they are racists and their church is preaching hatred towards gay people and the transgender.

Sounds like typical racist southern Baptist pseudo Christianity to me. They get through the pearly gates by faith and faith alone, that means it's OK to keep slaves, rape and murder them. Actual Christians get to heaven by attaining a state of grace and moral development, God judges you by your thoughts, words and deeds. One can see why they rejected this Christian theology, they would have to think too much and be guided by their consciences. Also an actual Christian would have no use for a gun, except to hunt.

My guess is budley is talking the remote learning approach, not the pretend science type of home school. I have a friend that opted to keep his kids remote, most parents seem to have decided in school is best though. No real right answer, depends on the individual circumstances.

I feel bad for religious homeschooled kids, have not seen it ever work out for the best. Neighbors did that, Joey couldn't read at 10. There were very obvious gaps. It's always like that, the parents can't make a good assessment, there aren't others to compare against. They were really convinced it was vastly superior education, but damn, it just became very obvious it was not. I still lol that they considered being able to recite "frara jaques", the children's nursery rhyme, as being proficient in French.

In some places they are required to be tested at school periodically to see how they are actually doing. Also regular school books are suppose to be used. I think with online learning these days these kids should be more involved in the education system and be required to participate in some classes remotely and come in for testing. If it's as good as they say, then they won't mind their kids being compared to their school peers. Something tells me most of these folks aren't interested in the truth, or even in the welfare of their kids, they have other priorities and fears

Yes I was and perhaps should have clarified. I meant remote learning that includes school run programs which I wasn’t sure if they offer.
Not the cultish ones lol.

All i see here is Fear, couards and idiots.
parot's prom at his best, vomiting unreliable sources all the time and claiming that's science LOL
ye "science" financed by the labs.
you guyz are so funny, so proud to be vax, boosted, how sad... that makes me laugh and cry at the same time (ur kids really... i pray for them!)
no brain and now no more soul,
under cover of kindness...to protect the others! weeeeeee
seriously, u just try to protect ur single fat ass, there is no kindness on u, the way most of u treat uninjected people here shows what kind of humans u really are :/
you get vaxxed but u can get it and share it, right? yes but less than a non one! blablabla.... less chance to go to hospital! blablabla....
19 unvaxed for only 1 vaxxed in intensive care! blablablabla parots!!!! everyone miss to say people who already got 1 or 2 doses count as a non-vax!!! Every vaxinated people is a future unvaxinated people.
As u probably understand, i did not take the shot, only few month after the "pandemic" start, many of us saw how it was going to turn and try to alert in vain, and we're right on right now while u stupidely enjoy raging on us.
The fact the vaccine don't work is not our fault.
we did not create that shit.
i can't understand how u still trust the doxa, gvts lie they don't care about people.
They 're playing what they know what to do best, divide us.
sorry for the bad words but i feel hate, it must come out from time to time so as not to break
because i know i'll have to forgive you for all that.

lmao yeah, I am sure that whatever bro-ific youtube personality that you get your info is really fun and all, but I trust my wife's 7 years of schooling it took (outside of high school) to get her degree and almost 15 years of working in medicine over the idiot cult logic that is currently clogging up our hospitals because they are too brainwashed to get a simple vaccine that is highly effective and extremely safe.

When did all you idiots turn into Jehovah Witnesses?

Ok so just to clarify so that I understand. You feel that this worldwide pandemic is all a hoax to benefit the “labs”? Also what is the point exactly about only one or two shots? I could be wrong but is it not the reason for the booster, too keep you out of the hospital. Another problem with this whole “it’s the labs”, (who is the “labs”?) it must be a logistic nightmare to get every government in the world in on this, are they the labs? What was it that you all tried to tell the rest of us at the beginning? One last question, sorry for so many, but who is “us” and “we”?

Which mask is best for protection against the omicron variant of COVID?

It has been proven that surgical masks are not that great at omicron protection after all

[zeddd]

Ex vaccine chief in U.K. Dr Dix is calling for an end to vaccines after this current round and that covid should be regarded as endemic. His argument is based on the concern he has for stimulating the body to continuously produce antibodies. This seems in line with the U.K. policy of letting omicron rip through the population.

Hospital cases rising in Ontario, Quebec due to Omicron;

[DIY-HP-LED]

Here is an editorial from Canada where they claim we have a 90% vaccination rate among the eligible, my go to source says it's 87.05%, though I expect it should hit 90% soon. If we are looking at this much potential trouble, the America's are in for a shit storm. Everybody will probably get this sooner or later, make it as late as you can to save the hospitals and perhaps yourself. Right now would be a bad time to become infected, if you should require medical help and I expect it will be that way for a few months. We won't beat omicron, it will beat us, we can only slow it down and take the hit over a longer stretch of time. A few more will be vaxxed, but the governments should have gotten serious about boosters, the roll out here has been really slow, but it's mostly staffing issues I think, they called for volunteers here and 2000 retired doctors and nurses responded. Being vaxxed and boosted means many more older volunteers this time around.

Globe editorial: We have the tools to beat Omicron. Use them

Canada has to take advantage and use vaccination as the way to defeat the Omicron variant

Fuck him, he just made Canada's domestic terrorist watch list, if he's not on it already. Advocating violence to oppose government policy is illegal in most places. This clown is probably being watched by the RCMP and his contacts and communications are monitored, or should be. No way should he be allowed to own firearms or ammunition, if he has an FAC it should be revoked and his guns confiscated in a raid. This ain't America, we don't have traitors and lunatics supporting this in government and we do have a domestic terrorist watch list and the proud boys are on it, they started in Canada. We also have no second amendment and hate speech is proscribed. We have the tools and means to deal with these assholes who advocate and foment violence in Canada.

If the asshole wants to die from covid I'm all for it, the trouble is he'll take others with him. Razor wire interment camps, or regular prisons are made for people like this. If they don't like the news, then don't watch Global news, or any other legitimate news source, next it will be bombs and shooting. They don't like a free press because it makes them look like the fucking idiots that they are and this is a pathetic attempt to muzzle them. This asshole is no patriot, he's a terrorist, or wannabe terrorist.

B.C. opponent of mRNA vaccines predicts civil war in Canada if he and his fellow "patriots" can't succeed legally

B.C. opponent of mRNA vaccines predicts civil war in Canada if he and his fellow "patriots" can't succeed legally
James Davison says if it weren't for the media, COVID-19 never would have affected any of the people at a weekend rally outside Global News B.C.

A fairly large crowd, perhaps 250 people, gathered on Saturday (January outside the Global News B.C. building in Burnaby to protest how the media is covering COVID-19 and vaccine mandates.

The host of the event, James Davison, delivered a fiery speech and plenty of commentary between the other speakers.

After one speech by Common Ground publisher Joseph Roberts, who called on media workers to "defect", Davison laid out what he believes is at stake for his movement if it can't use legal means to obtain an end to restrictions on the unvaccinated.
