There will not be any public transit because we won't be going anywhere (unless it is to the camps).
"Public transit officials fear virus could send systems into ‘death spiral’" by Pranshu Verma New York Times, July 19, 2020
WASHINGTON — Jeffrey Tumlin, who leads San Francisco’s $1.3 billion transit system, is in a hard spot, but coronavirus cases are rising in more than three dozen states, and the first round of congressional aid is quickly drying up. Transit leaders in cities including Seattle, Los Angeles, and Miami warn they need billions of dollars more in aid; otherwise, their systems could collapse.
“Unless the economy comes ripping right back, and there’s a vaccine, and social distancing is eliminated, we fall off the financial cliff in 2023,” Tumlin said.
All this stuff is a broken record based on lies, like so much of my pre$$ for as long as I can remember. It's your Great Reset and Bill Gates' dystopia that these "leaders" threw in with, damn them.
As transit use plunged across the country because of the pandemic, the economy cratered into a recession, putting nearly 11 percent of Americans on the unemployment rolls and closing about 66,000 small businesses, dealing a blow to the sales and income tax revenues that many cities and states use to fund transit agencies.
The mix of forces has been brutal: Ridership has plummeted 90 percent on some of the nation’s biggest systems, including in New York and the San Francisco Bay Area. Reduced tax revenues are forcing state and local leaders to trim their transit subsidies.
This could affect the industry forever, transit experts said, causing leaders to substantially cut service to match catastrophic drops in revenue. Capital projects meant to upgrade transit systems and reduce the risk of accidents would have to be delayed. Wait times could become so long that using public transit to commute may become unrealistic.
We get this all the time. There is a change to our way of life because of some event, then we are told it's permanent.
In this case, they are going pell-mell to roll out their tube of poi$on and yet everything must be changed forever.
Why?
If the vaccine works and all, Billy-boy said we could get back to normal. Now not?
With each passing day, COVID looks more and more like a monstrous lie.
Transit leaders across the country are imploring congressional leaders to provide up to $36 billion in additional assistance. They want to ensure subways, buses, and rail systems across the country can weather a sustained decline in revenue and be ready as the economy and school system reopen.
Oh, the doom and gloom threat of existence is really a $care-mongering money grab.
Think about that as you wait for the decrepit piece of $hit coming down the tracks.
Specialists said big city transit systems are likely to be hit the hardest and quickest. Their operating budgets tend to depend heavily on rider fares and sales tax, but small and midsize agencies, which tend to rely more on direct support from state and local governments or revenue sources like property taxes, will not be spared. They are most likely to see their worst budget woes creep up early next year, and while the emergency federal funding has stopped transit systems from facing immediate doom, aid is predicted to dry up in five to eight months for big city networks, compared with 12 to 20 months for smaller systems, according to expert analysis.
This could plunge systems into a “transit death spiral,” where cuts to service and delayed upgrades make public transit a less convenient option for the public, which prompts further drops in ridership, causing spiraling revenue loss and service cuts until a network eventually collapses, and for many transit agencies, the pandemic came right as their systems were finally recovering from the 2008 recession.
As if our looting leaders have ever had our convenience at heart.
I don't know about other states, but in Ma$$achu$etts the tran$portation $y$tem operates as a receptacle for political patronage. That's why they want the loot.
Best of privatizing, huh?
The industry’s plight has not been forgotten by those on Capitol Hill. In May, the House passed a coronavirus aid package that would dedicate an additional $15 billion in funding to transportation agencies.
The package has stalled in the Republican-led Senate.....
Yeah, blame them.

"Facing one of the biggest financial crises in the history of the subway, New York’s public transportation agency is preparing drastic measures to restore its finances that are likely to affect riders for years. The measures include reducing service, slashing the transit workforce, scrapping planned infrastructure improvements, raising tolls beyond scheduled increases, and adding to its already record-high debt, according to officials at the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the city’s subway, buses, and two commuter rails. With forecasts showing a budget shortfall of $16.2 billion through 2024, transit leaders now say that at least some of these cuts are unavoidable as the system copes with the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic. “There have been financial crises before, but never one where the deficits were measured in billions on top of billions on top of billions of dollars,” Patrick J. Foye, the MTA chairman, said in an interview. “That’s why these unpalatable, unacceptable alternatives have to be considered.” Across the country, transit systems have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic: Lockdowns led to an over 90 percent drop in ridership....."

"Parents who can are hiring teachers" by Laura Meckler and Hannah Natanson Washington Post, July 18, 2020
Fed up with remote education, parents who can pay have a new plan for fall: import teachers to their homes.
This goes beyond tutoring. In some cases, families are teaming up to form ‘‘pandemic pods,’’ where clusters of students receive professional instruction for several hours each day. It’s a 2020 version of the one-room schoolhouse, privately funded.
Sickening.
Weeks before the new school year will start, the trend is a stark sign of how the pandemic will continue to drive inequity in the nation’s education system, but the parents planning or considering this say it’s an extreme answer to an extreme situation.
With coronavirus infections rising in large swaths of the country, school districts in many big cities and suburbs are planning to start the fall with distance learning, either every day or for part of the week.
President Trump has implored schools to resume in full, and many health experts agree, partly because remote learning went so poorly for so many in the spring, but many local leaders say the health risks are too great. Children do not get particularly sick from COVID-19, but less is known about whether they can spread it to others.
We all know why local political and health leaders are so concerned.

"Scientists in a Nordic study have found that keeping primary schools open during the pandemic may not have had much bearing on contagion rates. There was no measurable difference in the number of coronavirus cases among children in Sweden, where schools were left open, compared with neighboring Finland, where schools were shut, according to the findings. The study compares two countries that share similar societal models, including access to universal health care, but that adopted very different strategies to tackle COVID-19. Sweden avoided a proper lockdown, while Finland imposed tougher social distancing. Indicative data show there is no difference in the overall incidence of the laboratory-confirmed cases in children aged 1 to 19 years in the two countries; contact tracings in primary schools in Finland found hardly any evidence of children infecting others, according to the working paper by the Public Health Agency of Sweden and the Finnish Institute for Health and Welfare. What’s more, there’s no increased risk for teachers, according to a Swedish comparison of cases among day care and primary school staff, compared with risk levels in other professions. It’s not the first time researchers have raised questions about the merits of shutting schools during the pandemic. A French study last month found that schoolchildren don’t appear to transmit COVID-19 to peers or teachers. That investigation established that children seemed to show fewer symptoms than adults, and to be less contagious, but the authors also said more research was needed."
Yeah, if the $cience doesn't come back the way you want it, disregard it.
This STINKS!
Parents are worried about health risks, too, but they are also worried their children will fall behind, and they fear they will be unable to work, even from home, while supervising children.
Across the country, families are gathering with strangers in Facebook groups and friends over text messages to make matches. Teachers are being recruited, sometimes furtively, to work with small clusters of children. A Facebook group dedicated to helping families connect and learn how to do this drew 3,400 members in nine days, with at least seven local groups already spun off.
‘‘This is a thing now,’’ said Phil Higgins, a psychotherapist in Salem, Mass., who joined with two other families to hire a woman to create a ‘‘pseudo summer camp’’ for their four children this summer. They are now considering hiring this woman, who normally works as a school-based behavioral specialist, as a teacher for 40 hours per week during the school year. She would help the kids work through their school-offered remote learning.
If you can afford ‘‘$1,300 per child per month," and so much for the years of schooling.
In Lower Merion Township, a suburb of Philadelphia, Carrie Pestronk and her two sons struggled through remote learning in the spring. If it continues into fall, she wants to make school-from-home as normal as possible. She’s trying to recruit a handful of other children and a teacher — perhaps someone finishing college or graduate school — to teach from her basement.
How do you do that when it is completely abnormal?
Alexandra Marshak, who lives in Manhattan with her husband and two young sons, is exploring a learning pod with three other families. The original idea was that parents would take turns teaching, rotating hosting duties, but then one parent suggested they rent a studio apartment for the venture. They are also now considering hiring a professional to do the teaching. Marshak, who is out of work, said she’s concerned about spiraling costs, but at this point, she said, ‘‘Everything is on the table.’’
Not everyone can afford truly private education, and these arrangements are raising concerns that this is just another way that the pandemic is exacerbating inequities that course through the educational system. Already low-income children struggle for access to computers and Wi-Fi service and face pressures at home that wealthy families do not. Now this.....
Children will be left behind, and a sociology of education professor at New York University wishes that parents would also work with their schools to find solutions for all children, by pooling resources, for instance.

"In the heated debate over reopening schools, one burning question has been whether and how efficiently children can spread the virus to others. A large new study from South Korea offers an answer: Children younger than 10 transmit to others much less often than adults do, but the risk is not zero, and those between the ages of 10 and 19 can spread the virus at least as well as adults do. The findings suggest that as schools reopen, communities will see clusters of infection take root that include children of all ages, several experts cautioned. “I fear that there has been this sense that kids just won’t get infected or don’t get infected in the same way as adults and that, therefore, they’re almost like a bubbled population,” said Michael Osterholm, an infectious diseases expert at the University of Minnesota. “There will be transmission,” Dr. Osterholm said. “What we have to do is accept that now and include that in our plans.” Several studies from Europe and Asia have suggested that young children are less likely to get infected and to spread the virus, but most of those studies were small and flawed, said Dr. Ashish Jha, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute. The new study “is very carefully done, it’s systematic and looks at a very large population,” Dr. Jha said. “It’s one of the best studies we’ve had to date on this issue.” Other experts also praised the scale and rigor of the analysis. South Korean researchers tested all of the household contacts of each patient, regardless of symptoms, but only tested symptomatic contacts outside the household. The first person in a household to develop symptoms is not necessarily the first to have been infected, and the researchers acknowledged this limitation. The study is more worrisome for children in middle and high school. This group was even more likely to infect others than adults were, the study found, but some experts said that finding may be a fluke or may stem from the children’s behaviors....."

"During coronavirus lockdowns, some doctors wondered: Where are the preemies?" by Elizabeth Preston New York Times, July 19, 2020
This spring, as countries around the world told people to stay home to slow the spread of the coronavirus, doctors in neonatal intensive care units were noticing something strange: Premature births were falling, in some cases drastically.
It started with doctors in Ireland and Denmark. Each team, unaware of the other’s work, crunched the numbers from its own region or country and found that during the lockdowns, premature births — especially the earliest, most dangerous cases — had plummeted. When they shared their findings, they heard similar anecdotal reports from other countries.
Deaths and cripplings from vaccinations have also sharply declined.
They don’t know what caused the drop in premature births and can only speculate as to the factors in lockdown that might have contributed, but further research might help doctors, scientists, and parents-to-be understand the causes of premature birth and ways to prevent it, which have been elusive until now. Their studies are not yet peer-reviewed and have been posted only on preprint servers. In some cases the changes amounted to only a few missing babies per hospital, but they represented significant reductions from the norm, and some specialists in premature birth think the research is worthy of additional investigation.
“These results are compelling,” said Dr. Denise Jamieson, an obstetrician at Emory University’s School of Medicine in Atlanta.
The researchers found that during the lockdown, the rate of babies born before 28 weeks had dropped by a startling 90 percent.
So they what, miscarried?
If so, we have another case of neglected medical care resulting in murder.
Anecdotes from doctors at other hospitals around the world suggest the phenomenon may have been widespread, though not universal.....
Anecdotes suggest!?

"What happens when a student or staffer gets sick at school this fall?" by Naomi Martin Globe Staff, July 21, 2020
A kid sniffles on a school bus. A parent’s throat is sore. A teacher’s spouse feels sick.
As schools reopen in the fall, previously common and insignificant situations will carry new prospects of danger. To guide districts’ responses, the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education this week released protocols for when students, staffers, or families experience symptoms or test positive for COVID-19 — a 19-page plan that makes clear how complicated and challenging the new school year will be.
“Even as we remain vigilant, and public health metrics in Massachusetts remain positive, the risk of exposure to COVID-19 in school will not be zero,” the guidance reads. “No single strategy can ever be perfect, but all strategies together will reduce risk.”
You evil, tortuous a$$holes. I weep for today's children.
The guidance includes detailed instructions for various scenarios, which all stress the importance of assessing symptoms, isolating the sick, disinfecting spaces, testing, and staying home while awaiting test results and notifying the school. It says schools should promptly notify the families of any “close contacts” — anyone who came within 6 feet of the infected person in recent days for more than 10 minutes — so that family member can self-isolate and get tested too.
I want to pick up on that last one.
How many people are you around for 10 minutes a day, and why do they have us distancing in the supermarket? You are coming into contact with others, what, for a minute, minute and half at the most?
The pre$$ inadvertently blows the whistle on the damn fraud with that information.
Why has the society been shut down at all?
Several epidemiologists praised the document as thoughtful and thorough, though they also raised concerns about whether it sufficiently addresses asymptomatic spread of COVID, and they believe a resurgence of cases is likely in Massachusetts in the fall if not sooner, so the plans may become moot.
F**k you, a$$holes!
“The fall is expected to be really very difficult indeed,” said William Hanage, an epidemiologist at Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health. “For all that I admire about this plan, and I am impressed by it, I am anxious that the pandemic is not going to play along and we have to account for that.”
The guidance warns that if Massachusetts’ public health metrics worsen, indicating a second surge of infections locally, the state will communicate with schools to determine whether in-person education should continue.
Epidemiologists cautioned that scientists still don’t have a good understanding of children’s role in transmitting COVID-19, though children aren’t prone to severe complications. Some evidence shows many children can transmit the infection at similar rates to adults, they said.
Are you as sick as I am of being F**KING LIED TO by the PRE$$?
In case of children or staffers feeling sick with a fever, cough, sore throat, or other symptoms, they should stay home and seek a COVID test. If at school, they should go to the school nurse to be evaluated, the state guidance says.
If someone tests positive, their “close contacts” should be promptly notified, isolated, and tested, the guidance states. In elementary schools where students are in the same classrooms for long periods, everyone in the group should be tested or quarantined for two weeks, and wherever possible, students’ seats should be assigned during classes, buses, and meals, and those assignments documented to assist with contact tracing in case someone becomes infected.
The MEDICAL TYRANNY is REALLY GOING TO TAKE OFF this fall, and YOU MAY SEND YOUR KID to SCHOOL and NEVER SEE THEM AGAIN!
When one considers the ubiquitous nature of the elite pedophile rings, one can be forgiven for wondering what really happened to your child.
When students must quarantine at home, their learning should continue remotely. People who test negative can return to class. Those who test positive must isolate for at least 10 days and not return until they have experienced three days without a fever and symptoms improving.
If a student or staffer has been around anyone else who tested positive, the student or staffer should also be tested or quarantined for two weeks.
Better of not going to school and quitting that job.
Samuel Scarpino, an epidemiologist at Northeastern University, said the protocols seem to assume that test results will return quickly, but the current reality is far different. Test results are now often delayed by up to a week or more in Massachusetts. Scarpino envisioned dozens of kids in a school at one time having symptoms of the common cold, which are similar to those for COVID-19.
That is ALL IT EVER HAS BEEN, isn't it?
“A very likely scenario with this plan is that schools are going to be faced with a very tough decision as they’re waiting for test results to come back” about whether to close parts of the school, Scarpino said. “The current biggest issue we need to address for COVID is getting the test delay time to under 36 hours” to quickly detect outbreaks and prevent more infections.
F**k you and your defective tests, a$$hole!
The state has said its goal is to safely return as many students as possible to in-person learning, but it has also requested all districts prepare three reopening models: one fully in-person, one hybrid scenario that mixes remote and in-person, and one that is all remote.
The guidance envisions new disease-control roles for everyone involved in schools. For instance, bus drivers and teachers should be trained on recognizing symptoms. If a driver notices symptoms as a child boards, the driver should ask the parent or other caregiver, if present, to take the child home. Otherwise, the driver should ensure the child stays at least 3 feet from others, and that all the children keep their masks on during the ride, then alert the school so that a staffer can meet the child for a medical evaluation.
This is f**king goddamn evil insanity, folks, by MONSTERS who are NOT HUMAN!
Children with symptoms should not return home on buses. They should wait in the school’s designated medical waiting room until their caregiver can pick them up.
If schools see multiple cases, they should work with local health boards to determine whether transmission is likely happening at the school. If that is suspected, local and state health and education officials will work together to decide next steps, which may include closing the school fully or partially for a period from a few days to a few weeks.
If multiple schools in a district see outbreaks, entire districts may need to close, the state guidance says, and if cities or towns experience significant waves of infections, individual schools may need to shut down.
This is a RECIPE for DISASTER this FALL!
Several epidemiologists said the guidance doesn’t adequately address the fact that many children who become infected don’t experience symptoms but are still contagious. They said widespread testing within schools — as some colleges have announced plans to do — would likely be needed to sufficiently detect those silent cases, but that’s an expensive proposition. Instead, the document suggests students and school personnel seek testing at a public site that may require an appointment or doctor’s referral.
If the $ports jocks can get them, why can't the kids?
Aren't they the most important thing?
How much longer are you going to let local evil prey on your kids?
“I wish that testing was more directly incorporated into the schools’ systems such that students/staff/ faculty could receive tests at the school itself,” Nadia Abuelezam, an epidemiologist at Boston College, said in an e-mail. “I understand that comes with a cost and may be reproducing services with the healthcare system, but it also will likely cause delays in testing, results, and children/staff/teachers’ return to school.”
Costs that could be better utilized on the kids, not making money for some testing company so they can lie about the positives.
Under the guidance, families are responsible for screening kids, and staff must monitor themselves daily for symptoms.
Everyone is a potential threat, aaaaaaah!
Parents — many of whom are nervous about sending their children back to class — would love to see schools take responsibility for daily symptom screening and testing everyone before reopening, said Tiffani Jackson, a parent organizer with the Boston Education Justice Alliance.
“The school system has to take the initiative to make sure all kids and adults in their building are safe,” Jackson said, but she acknowledged that cash-strapped schools in Boston likely wouldn’t be able to afford such efforts.
Better off forming a pod anyway!
Jonathan Haines, a school nurse at BPS’ McKinley Middle School, said the plan seemed doable in wealthier suburban districts where families have better access to health care and schools have more resources, but unrealistic in Boston. For example, he questioned who would be responsible for tracking all the students isolating at home awaiting test results.
“It’s very difficult to implement the guidelines to fidelity — almost impossible, I would say — not because the guidelines are wrong, but because of the staffing conditions in the schools,” Haines said. “We’re not hospitals.”

"School districts that plan to reopen classrooms in the fall are wrestling with whether to require teachers and students to wear face masks — an issue that has divided urban and rural schools and yielded widely varying guidance. The divide has also taken on political dimensions in Iowa, among other places, where Democratic-leaning cities like Des Moines and Iowa City have required masks to curb the spread of the coronavirus, while smaller, more conservative communities have left the decision to parents. “It’s a volatile issue,” said Mike McGrory, superintendent in Ottumwa, a district in the state’s southeast corner with 4,700 students. “You have to be very sensitive and realize there are lots of perspectives.” McGrory said it would have been easier if state health officials had issued specific rules, but since that did not happen, the district gave weight to the state Education Department’s recommendation against a mask requirement."

"Budget cuts, layoffs, furloughs — COVID-19’s effect on colleges will shape higher ed for decades" by Laura Krantz and Deirdre Fernandes Globe Staff, July 21, 2020
In January Emerson College seemed poised for a great spring semester. The glass and concrete renovation of the Little Building dormitory, perched on the edge of Boston Common, was open after a multi-year renovation that breathed new life into the historic building. The school’s Los Angeles campus was financially solid, and enrollment was strong.
The school had taken on significant debt to finance the renovation, but administrators were confident that strong demand for their well-known arts and media programs would allow them to use 2020 to begin to recover from the expensive building project.
By March, with the coronavirus pandemic sweeping across the country, everything changed for Emerson — and virtually every other institution of higher education in the country.
Looming beyond the immediate crisis, as colleges and universities across the country scramble to make their campuses safe for students to return this fall, are the enormous financial repercussions of the pandemic that will likely reshape higher education for decades.
WHY?
In the dead of summer, when college administrators normally take a vacation, they are working overtime, in most cases making choices with few good options.
Campuses can reopen and risk a COVID-19 outbreak or stay closed and risk not enrolling enough students to stay financially afloat. There were a record number of colleges with empty spots in their freshman and transfer classes this year.
No matter what path a school chooses, it will likely confront difficult, possibly existential, questions that shape post-secondary education for years after the coronavirus is under control.
“It’s a bad situation either way,” said Kent Chabotar, a former college president and chief financial officer who now advises school leaders. “There are no good choices.”
Many experts have compared this crisis to the 2008 economic crash, but it is different in one key way. This time, the institutions most damaged by the crisis will not be the elite schools whose endowments were decimated by that stock market crash but the more typical colleges that enroll the vast majority of students in this country.
The elite schools were never in danger!
This time around, wealthy schools like Williams College are able to discount tuition by reaching deeper into their endowments, a luxury that places like Emerson cannot afford.
Emerson depends almost entirely on tuition for its revenue because it has a small endowment and little fund-raising. Other revenue streams, such as its theaters, have also been hurt by the pandemic. Its Los Angeles campus is not allowed to reopen for now, although students plan to be enrolled in that program, and like other schools, Emerson is planning to invest millions in measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 on campus, including testing, additional housing to spread out students, and extra cleaning.
With all the cleaning they are doing, they are in effect SHUTTING DOWN OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS so they will be WEAL and INACTIVE this fall!
HOW EVIL!
Despite the uncertainty, Emerson’s top finance official believes the school will weather the pandemic successfully because, he said, it entered the crisis from a position of strength. The school has already made up for a $7 million loss from the spring semester, said Paul Dworkis, vice president of administration and finance.
“I see it that we are in a strong position. Yes, we are all going to be weakened by the effect of the pandemic. That is industry wide,” said Dworkis, who came to the college in December after serving as chief financial officer at the University of Maryland College Park.
Moody’s Investors Service issued a report on Emerson in February, just before the pandemic struck. Analysts pointed out that the school was deep in debt because of its borrowing, but said its enrollment, around 4,800 students, was strong and so it was on solid ground. The school had planned for deficits but remained break-even.
“To their credit, they have been able to deliver continued good operating performance under stressed circumstances. Now these are different stressed circumstances, and how their students react, I don’t think any of us are going to know,” said Susan Shaffer, vice president at Moody’s who authored the report.
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted just how reliant many universities are on revenue from tuition, fees, and room and board.....
