Covid surge forces schools to close and bring back pandemic-era measures- and more are at risk as millions head back to class next week 17:12 BST 26 Aug 2024, updated 18:27 BST 26 Aug 2024 By Luke Andrews Senior Health Reporter For Dailymail.Com READ MORE: Fauci wants to bring back masks after contracting Covid Schools in two states experiencing a rise in Covid cases announced they were closing facilities and switching to remote learning. Alabama and Tennessee announced the closure of two schools — affecting more than a thousand children — just days into the new academic year, with officials saying the virus had forced them to shut and carry out a 'deep clean.' At one of the schools, children had to abandon their desks and revert to remote learning for two days — a move reminiscent of the early days of Covid. The closures — both in Republican states — came despite a mountain of evidence suggesting they hamper children's learning, social interactions and ability to develop natural immunity to common infections. And there are fears that more disruption could be in store for students in the coming months — with many schools, in states like New York, New Jersey and Michigan, returning after the Labor Day weekend. Johnson-Abernathy-Graetz (JAB) high school in Montgomery, Alabama, closed for two days and switched to remote learning just four days into its new term amid a surge in Covid cases Johnson-Abernathy-Graetz (JAB) high school in Montgomery, Alabama, closed for two days and switched to remote learning just four days into its new term amid a surge in Covid cases Stigall elementary in western Tennessee also closed for a day just a week into its new term for deep cleaning Stigall elementary in western Tennessee also closed for a day just a week into its new term for deep cleaning Johnson-Abernathy-Graetz (JAB) high school in Montgomery, Alabama, which has 1,500 students in grades 9 through 12, made the decision to switch to virtual classes just four days into its new academic year after 15 teachers caught Covid. There was no data on how many students were infected. Staff and children were told to stay home on Wednesday, August 14 and Thursday, August 15 and attend lessons via remote learning while a deep clean was conducted in the school buildings. The school has now re-opened with masks and disinfection wipes available in every classroom. Masks have not been made mandatory. At Stigall Elementary, part of the Humboldt school system in western Tennessee, a one-day closure was announced just a week into the new term amid an 'uptick' in cases. The 246 students through first grade had to stay home on Tuesday, August 13 as their school was cleaned, with parents forced to either skip work or hire a babysitter.

Jessica Williamson, a mother of a first grader at the school, told FOX13: 'Everyone is like, "Covid is back, Covid is back." 'Those are little kids. They're most prone to put things in their mouths, to touch each other, to just share germs.' She had to find a babysitter for her daughter for the day, but said she preferred that to her child catching Covid — which could lead to her being at home for multiple days. Teachers will now also be required to wipe down desks and desktop surfaces with disinfectant every time students move from class to class. Masks have not been made mandatory, and no other pandemic-era policies — like social distancing — have been brought back. Covid cases have increased across the US in recent weeks, thought to be driven by summer travel and gatherings. Eighteen percent of swabs were positive for the virus in the week to August 17, the latest available — up 40 percent from a month earlier. But these levels are far below those from the most severe days of the pandemic, when the proportion of tests detecting the virus surged over 30 percent. Hospitalizations and deaths are also much lower than at earlier periods of the pandemic, although rising slightly — with experts saying most people now only suffer from a mild illness because of previous immunity from vaccines or infections. Covid cases have risen in recent weeks, which experts say is likely being driven by summer travel and gatherings Covid cases have risen in recent weeks, which experts say is likely being driven by summer travel and gatherings The Covid hospitalization rate - 4.4 per 100,000 people - is also far below the peak of 35.4 per 100,000 people in 2022 when the Omicron variant was spreading. It is also lower than the of 10.9 per 100,000 and 7.7 per 100,000 at the start of 2024. Data also shows there were 696 deaths involving Covid recorded in the week to July 27, the latest available, well-below the tally from previous waves and less than a third of the level in January this year when 2,500 fatalities were being recorded every seven days. Several studies have been published since the pandemic warning how remote learning harmed children's development. They include the Education Recovery Scorecard paper from researchers at Harvard, Stanford and Johns Hopkins among others — which analyzed data from 7,800 school districts to determine the impact of remote learning. It found students in districts where remote learning was in place for most of the 2020 to 2021 school year fell, on average, more than half a grade behind in math. For comparison, those who had remote learning in place for just over a third of the year fell behind by just over a third of a grade. Another study published in early 2022 found children were performing worse in math and reading in 2020 and 2021 than before the pandemic began — after analyzing the results of 7.3million exams. In the UK, experts have come forward to say lockdowns caused 'long-lasting and era-defining' harm to the education of children — which could have been prevented. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-13780665/covid-outbreak-school-closure-remote-learning-alabama-tennessee.html

When the Khazarian Mafia Runs a Country Jonas E. Alexis, Senior EditorJune 20, 2022 By Brother Nathanael Kapner When Khazarians run a country your nation’s on a psychiatric couch. I grew up in Judaism and the Khazarian Mafia is on Prozac. They invented it…for themselves…the most neurotic people walking the face of the earth. The latest episode of Khazarian neurosis is brought to the American goys by Avril Haines, Director of National Intelligence. This Khazarian from New York’s Upper West Side told the Khazarian-riddled US Senate that “insight” into how Ukraine uses American military assets is “hard to tell.” That’s a no-brainer. It instantly goes on the global black market and the corrupt Khazarians running the Ukrainian government stash the cash in their Swiss bank accounts. Here’s a specimen for Sigmund Freud’s famous couch, Janet Yellen at Treasury. Lay her carcass down on those Prozac-inducing Freudian pillows. Yellen told the Khazarian-riddled House that though gas prices “would not drop” there’s still “no sign” of a recession coming. Any fifth grader will tell you that prices at the pump affect every aspect of the economy. Everything comes to a screeching halt when people hoard their money just for a loaf of bread. Yet Yellen loves to print fiat money out of thin air that doesn’t represent work or products. How could she not? Khazarians hardly put in a hard day’s work themselves. The only thing they know how to produce are derivatives on mortgage rates. So she gave Biden the green light on his $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan saying that “any inflation would be transitory.” Here’s the $30 Trillion—I mean, the $260 Trillion—dollar question. Why do we allow Khazarians like Yellen to lie to us while keeping them in their unelected offices? Like the nasty Khazarians, Merrick Garland, who lied to us that White Supremacy is America’s number one problem. When we know it’s another kind of supremacy, the problem that emanates from the Synagogue of Satan. When Garland sicced the FBI on parents who question school boards on Critical Race Theory, he hid from us that his Khazarian daughter and son-in-law were making big bucks selling their CRT curricula to countless schools. Or this devious Khazarian, Alejandro Mayorkis, who lied to the Senate that his “Ministry of Truth” won’t censor ordinary Americans. Then it’s uncovered that Mayorkis scheduled a secret meeting for April 28th with Twitter’s “Content Director,” the homosexual Khazarian, Yoel Roth. The meeting was to work out a ‘censorship scheme’ against Americans who “question” the validity of elections and the “effects” of the mRNA VAXX and COVID masks. When Khazarians run your country you’re gonna get a gag wrapped around your mouth. You’re gonna get $6 a gallon for gas. You’re gonna get hordes of illegals poring across your border peddling drugs, trafficking kids, getting free cell phones, free travel, free baby formulas, and assured rights to vote. You’re gonna get a January 6 committee led by the Khazarian fagella, Adam Schiff, interviewing an illiterate cop… “it was an attempted koop happening in the Capitol that day”…while rampant daily crime cripples our cities every day. You’re gonna get a Khazarian-bought Congress applauding a Khazarian comedian set up as puppet president of Ukraine by a Khazarian oligarch named Ihor Kolomoisky, one of the Khazarian’s ilk who own Congress. You’re gonna get food shortages, high prices for ground beef, and $56 billion worth of tax dollars sent to Ukraine with an extra $1.8 billion tax dollars sent every month. Vickie Nudelman, Anthony Blinken, and Wendy Sherman—all unelected Khazarians—are shoving this up your ‘tax un-exempt ass’ whether you the goy like it or not. “But wait!” you say. “We have an adult in the room, a Gentile, a Negro with a sensible head, at the Pentagon’s Department of Defense, who’s holding back on sending troops to Ukraine.” He’s a diversity hire. His peers call him a dumb ass. Any dumb ass knows that sending US troops to Ukraine means an all-out war with Russia. The Khazarian-owned FED cuts his paycheck. Throw Austin on the psychiatric couch too. Let him bring to consciousness why he lets his schwartza shilling ass be laced by Khazarians who brought the Black slaves to America in the first place.
