I'm sorry you think a face mask is a muzzle. That being said, some parents might appreciate a little silence every now and then.
No it is not, no it does not, and no they won't.

Not sure about impacts to critical thinking but muzzling kids who effectively are immune to this is just wrong. Teachers get vaccinated. Kids take masks off. We go on with life. If you let them put masks back on now you might as well staple it on because they will mandate to the end of time. Clay and politicians love the power. They love submissive people even more.
We're not allowed to call them muzzles now, FincAg doesn't approve.

Hey, feel free to dehumanize your kids with something completely unnecessary. Are you going to give us an opinion that social media is good for them next?

If anyone needed more proof - Clay would indeed "follow the science" and at minimum severely restrict bars/restaurants if the TSC doesn't do what everyone seems to expect.
"Jenkins' new order does not include the capacity limits that we saw in public health orders issued earlier in the pandemic.
That could change, he said. "Everything is being considered," he said.
"Doctors and I are looking at this daily. But this is where we are right now.""

I am going to disagree with your opinion. But I will not tell a parent what to do with their kids. Similarly I won't tell someone to get vaccinated. That's not me.
So go get pissed and angry, fine by me.

Hidden in this is a mask requirement for day care students over 2. That's right you 2, 3, and 4 year olds are supposed to wear a mask all day.
No. You have allowed your son to be required to wear a mask for the last year. That's your choice to do so. My 3 girls will not wear one.

This is funny cause I've read plenty of your comments and it seems like you only get your info from social media

must be weird to have a county judge who isn't interested in publicity stunts....Tarrant Co's judge on why they aren't even wasting their time:
"Where I'm at right now, in talking with the attorneys, to them it's very clear that the governor has the authority, and if you're going to follow the law he's got the authority," Whitley said in a phone interview.
"I want to talk with the cities. I feel very strongly and for the most part I have always said I'm very much in support of local control. I wish I had the local control. If I did, I would have to see what I would do, but at this point, I don't (have control)."

I suppose that's some good news for y'all in Tarrant County, but it's pretty clear he would impose restrictions and muzzling immediately if he could. That is disappointing.
Sadly I am not in Tarrant County - but right in the middle of Clay's 4th Reich
Ugh, same. When do we riot?
Thanks for the input! Didn't realize I was in F16 where everything is binary, right or left.
I can teach my son critical thinking skills and teach him to question things while also respecting my fellow man. But again, thanks for the input.

I almost solely pull stories from WSJ when I do so.
It’s also important to continue the tried and true safety factors such as frequent handwashing, social distancing, and avoiding large crowds.

no caveating between vaccinated vs unvaccinated here: per Clay, everyone needs to practice social distancing and avoiding large crowds

Similarly Clay Jenkins and the ISDs shouldn't tell all parents what to do with their kids? The whole thing seems to be infantilizing parents and teachers.
He's gonna love it in a few weeks when Cowboys stadium is sold out.
Do they not understand how this kills any desire to get vaccinated for those with hesitancy or indifference? Or do they just not care?

They don't care. They will find another element to throw at us soon.

Walk and chewing gum. Trust me, they are working feverishly on starting school. Convocation rehearsal is going on now. Our junior high "roundup" is this afternoon (meet teachers, get schedules, swag etc). Things are cruising along with the top administrators absorbing a lot of the political / COVID stuff so their schools can maintain focus.
I bet they are!
+1 to the poster that said remember the administrators and most teachers are only following orders. Don't blow up on them! Any anger needs to go to those making the decisions.
What's is annoying to me is how they've hand picked Drs who only agree with them. The clinic I work for has nearly 2 dozen physicians and they're just as opinionated as the rest of the planet 50:50 on how everything is handled. There is no right answer, but damn sure the politicians choose the one that gives them power. One thing most of the our docs agree is Covid isn't going anywhere. It'll always be around in some form or fashion and people are just gonna have to suck it up and get on with their lives.TexasAggie008 said:It’s also important to continue the tried and true safety factors such as frequent handwashing, social distancing, and avoiding large crowds.

Nah, Clay J wants to freak out and impose his will on us every time there is a variant and associated spike in hospitalizations.wangus12 said:What's is annoying to me is how they've hand picked Drs who only agree with them.

Never miss a moment to fundraise....
Elections have consequences, and now Gov. Abbott is putting party politics above our families’ health and safety. The #COVID19 #DeltaVariant doesn’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, so get involved in our fight to protect North Texas by visiting https://t.co/34Ol5nDrhs.

One of my friends teaches in a district impacted by the mandate. District sent an email saying wear them. Only 25% showed up with them today.
Good on those parents/kids. Mind if I ask what district?
I can confirm that my local Whole Foods, once a bastion of masking, didn't give a **** today. They had some kind of sign up I didn't read but plenty of bare faces inside and not a word was said.
Hopefully most businesses will just blow off this nonsense. Fool me once

CDC reports that for the week of July 31 the rate of hospitalization with Covid for children 5 to 17 was 0.5 per 100,000,
The hospitalization rate for school aged kids looks just like it did during the last peak. Basically nonexistent.
https://gis.cdc.gov/grasp/covidnet/covid19_3.html
So how does this article jibe with the CDC data? It says pediatric hospitalizations are at their peak. When I see stories like this, I get why some parents are worried.

I think there is an increase. That seems to be true...however....we are hearing rumblings that many of these hospitalized kids have RSV + COVID. Last year we did not have the RSV issue. I am speculating that after a year of masks, isolation and lathering up in sanitizer kids have weaker immune systems are being hit over the head by RSV.....
Within Texas Children's, more than 45 children were hospitalized with COVID-19 on Wednesday, and hospital staff members have diagnosed over 1,600 cases of RSV. Around 90% of the hospital's COVID-19 positive patients all children and adolescents contracted the delta variant.
Approximately half of Texas Children's RSV and COVID-19 patients are infants.
The influx of RSV cases during the summer came as a surprise to physicians, who normally see the spread later in the year. Versalovic said southern states are experiencing the surge of RSV, while children's hospitals in other regions are reacting to increased hospitalizations from COVID-19.
What's worse, Versalovic said his hospital has identified 25 children who have both RSV and COVID-19. While he's confident that his hospital system can effectively treat these cases, it's a new phenomenon, and doctors are unsure of what to expect. Over half of those diagnosed with both viruses have been hospitalized a hospitalization rate much higher than for either virus alone.

Well as someone who was at a hospital in Dallas with my 1 month old this week in the pediatric wing, there is a shortage of beds. But it is because of staffing, not a lack of beds. A little over half the rooms on that floor had kids in them. All the nurses we talked to said it is 95% RSV cases, and rarely any COVID. Take it for what it is worth.
I work in SaaS, so no mask requirements for us!
Any of y'all out and about tonight?
