My wife is a teacher and my daughter is in second grade. This story hit home, and I am super glad you came back to add how it turned out. I wish you hadn't deleted the original story so I could give you upvotes for both.

I could imagine loosing my mind on a teacher that did this to my daughter or son.

I hope you get a chance to go on Reading Rainbow and give the report!

edit: found your other reply, so I upvoted that one too!

I'm recently returned to CO (grew up here) from Oregon; I'm super happy to have someone like you representing us. What can I do to help?

Here's your fucking cunt salad.

Do you support expanding mass transit in combination? We don't need more roads per se, we need more efficient transportation alternatives.

This is the crux of "flatten the curve" you see. Everyone will likely have some exposure and infection of it at some point, but if a huge majority of the world is exposed exponentially (all at once), then our health care system would be completely and utterly overwhelmed. Then, people that have accidents, heart attacks, cancer, etc. won't be able to seek treatment and may die when they otherwise would have been treatable. It's more the repercussions of having a system wholly unable to deal with the vast numbers of sick that is the problem.

This might not have been a problem (in the US anyway) had our federal government been somewhat prepared for the pandemic. You'd have thought we had learned something from 2003/04 SARS, but apparently not.
