"With influx of college students looming, how will Boston keep safe?" by Deirdre Fernandes, Laura Krantz and Charlie Wolfson Globe Staff and Globe Correspondent, July 25, 2020
It’s an annual Boston ritual in August: College students and families hauling furniture and luggage clog the sidewalks in front of dormitories and apartment buildings. Their moving vans line the streets. They pack local restaurants, but this year, moving-in day and the arrival of what in normal years is close to 170,000 college students to Massachusetts from across the country and perhaps even the world, will serve as more than a minor inconvenience. In the era of the coronavirus pandemic, it could also signal an enduring public health threat.
Many Boston-area colleges and universities plan to bring a substantial number of students back to campus in the coming weeks for the fall semester. Many will travel from states that are virus hot spots, where rates of infections are on the rise. They will test the state’s hard-won, but fragile success, in lowering the coronavirus infection rate and death toll.
Seems like every cla$$ in the Globe is the same, doesn't it?
Colleges and universities say that they are spending millions of dollars on testing and monitoring to ensure their students and those who live around them are safe. More students are also likely to stay home and take their classes online, reducing their numbers in the city, college administrators point out. Still, many epidemiologists and Boston-area residents fear there will be an influx of college students — eating at local restaurants, shopping at grocery stores, drinking at off-campus parties, and taking public transportation — that could lead to new outbreaks of coronavirus, and even as colleges set strict rules for social distancing in classrooms and dormitories, their ability to police students on their free time will be limited.
“I’m pretty frightened about the fall,” said Gregg Gonsalves, an assistant professor of epidemiology at Yale University. While Massachusetts and New England have experienced fewer cases of coronavirus this summer, new infections are spreading faster than ever in the rest of the country.
So am I, and for the obvious reasons.
“There’s going to be an invasion of people to Boston,” Gonsalves said. “It’s a risky proposition.”
Then keep them out!

"Doctors to Governor Baker: Expanded COVID-19 surveillance testing ‘essential’ to reopening schools safely" by Deanna Pan Globe Staff, July 24, 2020
More than 75 doctors across Massachusetts are urging Governor Charlie Baker to dedicate funding and resources to expand surveillance testing of COVID-19 as school districts prepare to reopen this fall.
The argument for home-schooling couldn't have been more forcefully made, and the lesson for today is that all the institutions are onboard with the coming technological and pharmaceutical dystopia and Great Reset even if they destroy their very existence in the process.
Oh, what a wonderful world it will be when we are all gone and the elite pedophile cla$$ can live large and lounge at their leisure without us pesky humans around.
In a letter submitted to the governor’s office Thursday, the multidisciplinary group of medical professionals say the state’s current testing strategy, which relies on diagnostic tests administered through a patchwork of providers, with turnaround times as long as 6 to 10 days, “hinders our ability to understand in real-time what is happening in any given district.” Widespread, rapid testing, they argue, is “essential” to ensuring schools can reopen safely.
The noose has been set and the trap laid for when they walk through the door.
Be afraid, be VERY afraid (that is no joke).
“We are very much in favor of trying to open schools in person right now because community prevalence is low in Massachusetts,” said Dr. Elissa Perkins, an emergency medicine physician at Boston Medical Center, who wrote the letter, along with Dr. Westyn Branch-Elliman, an assistant professor and infectious disease specialist at Harvard Medical School, but it will be “impossible to implement” the state’s school reopening guidelines, Perkins said, without widely accessible coronavirus tests that can quickly produce results.
This is DEVILI$HLY EVIL!
Get the fake result or whatever back quick as shit so can declare crisis hot spot, bam, lockdown until vaxxed!
“You’re left with a situation in which you start quarantining entire classrooms whenever anybody has a sore throat or a cough, which will keep children out of school pretty much all year, or you only start these protocols when you have a positive test result,” she continued, “but that doesn’t work when we’re relying on pediatricians and community testing sites [and]... it takes 8 to 10 days for the test result to come back.”
Hold your children close for they will be coming for us all. Soon.
In the latter scenario, a child suspected of having COVID-19 would wait for her test results in quarantine at home, but the students she may have exposed would continue attending class, potentially spreading the disease elsewhere, Perkins explained.
If the child’s test results come back positive, “you’d have to start the process all over again for each of those children,” she said. “It just doesn’t work.”
What about the children and their mental health?
A lost generation worth the warping of future minds, 'eh?
Ends justify the means, huh, you $ick and evil $ychopaths?
The coalition that signed the letter includes emergency department physicians, critical care doctors, infectious diseases pharmacists, and pediatricians from several major hospitals, health care systems, and universities across the state, such as Boston Children’s Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, and the University of Massachusetts Medical School.
I no longer trust out health $y$tem, sorry. COVID killed it.
A spokesman for Baker noted that the Massachusetts chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics has endorsed the state’s school reopening guidelines.
Ideally, the signatories recommend recurrent testing, at weekly or biweekly intervals, of all students and staff, which “would allow a school to stay ahead of a potential outbreak.” The tests, they note, must be “easily accessible, cheap, atraumatic for the child, and with a rapid turnaround time that is fast enough to identify cases in time to appropriately institute quarantines, and also fast enough to get children who do not have COVID back into the classroom.”
If the kid gets a cold, it will test positive for COVID.
The letter cites at least two tests that meet these criteria, including rapid antigen tests. Although these tests are not as sensitive as the gold-standard polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, tests used by governments and hospitals to confirm coronavirus diagnoses, they can detect COVID-19 during periods of infectivity, which would allow school districts to “immediately begin testing close contacts, with rapid answers.”
The PCR tests are pieces of shit, sorry. 80% false positives, and who trusts the authorities and their numbers anyway?
This has been, without a doubt, the BIGGEST LIE of my LIFETIME and I HAVE SEEN a FEW WHOPPERS!
“The only way for these strategies to work is if the epidemiologic work is transferred from physician offices to the towns, or to the nursing programs already embedded within the schools,” the letter says. Otherwise, “even the most efficient pediatricians” will quickly become overwhelmed testing both symptomatic and asymptomatic students.
“Decentralized systems are inherently susceptible to losing data and disorganization,” Branch-Elliman told the Globe. “I think it’s important that as we are looking for ways to screen and then follow up on test results, we have a centralized way of doing so to make sure none of the test results fall through the cracks.”
The exact opposite is true; the larger the bureaucracy the more it is susceptible to losing data and being disorganized. Look at the federal government as comapred to your locality. Case closed.
What is even more striking is the palpable evil that jumps from the page when reading what Elliman(!) is alleged to have said. These people are truly sick parasites and a cancer on the Earth.
Branch-Elliman, who works with Perkins on Milton Public Schools’ reopening committee, said states and districts must consider “outside the box” strategies in order to reopen schools as safely as possible, such as finding larger classroom spaces or holding classes outdoors.
“One thing that’s sort of lost in all of these discussions is we don’t know how long this pandemic is going to last. If we’re lucky, we get a vaccine or we get a post-exposure prophylactic strategy. If we’re not lucky, we could be dealing with trying to control this for years,” she said. “Closing schools was a reasonable thing to do upfront. However, we need to think about whether or not it’s a reasonable strategy to ask kids to be doing remote learning for potentially years.”
She must be getting the lesson plan straight from Bill Goddamn Gates!

Furthermore, they will be removing police from the schools now -- meaning the staged and scripted, false flag fictions have ended?
No need for them now?

"Falmouth High School’s outdoor graduation ceremony planned for Saturday was canceled after some seniors were potentially exposed to the coronavirus, officials said. In its place, a virtual ceremony broadcast on the local cable channel and streamed on the school’s Facebook page was held Saturday morning. The School Committee held an emergency meeting after learning of the potential exposures Friday afternoon and voted to cancel the ceremony, which was to have taken place on the school’s multipurpose field, according to a Facebook post signed by Superintendent Lori Duerr and Principal Mary Whalen Gans. “It was an extremely difficult decision,” they said. “We are so incredibly disheartened about disappointing our graduates.” They did not say how the students were potentially exposed to COVID-19. They said the school would contact families next week to arrange the delivery of diplomas."

"Boston schools tentatively plan ‘hybrid’ approach for fall" by Bianca Vázquez Toness Globe Staff, July 22, 2020
Students in Boston will likely attend school in-person a couple of days a week this fall on a rotating basis. On the days they didn’t attend brick-and-mortar classes, they would learn from home, said Tammy Pust, a senior adviser to Boston’s superintendent of schools.
“This is not a final plan,” Pust told School Committee members Wednesday evening. “We don’t know what the virus is going to do.”
Actually, they do. The Rockefeller Foundation wrote the script up 10 years ago and the entire exercise was gamed out at Event 201 before it went live.
Boston school officials have started to reveal their thinking even as the state has cautioned districts about making any reopening decisions before August so school leaders can take into account the number of COVID infections in the area. Boston is the latest district to signal it’s leaning toward a so-called hybrid approach, alternating between more traditional classroom lessons and remote learning.
That's what the DNA-altering va¢¢ine will do, makes us hybrids.
Under the hybrid plan, students would attend school in person Mondays and Tuesdays or Thursdays and Fridays. When they weren’t in school, students would be following lessons online from home. Everyone would learn remotely on Wednesdays. Teachers would be expected to teach the students in front of them and the ones logging in remotely.
Teachers and administrators surveyed by the district earlier this month raised concerns about how teachers would simultaneously teach these two groups.
“It’s going to be extremely difficult for teachers to help kids in front of them to keep their masks on and teach students who are online,” said committee member Michael O’Neill in Wednesday’s meeting.
Ruby Reyes, the director of Boston’s Education Justice Alliance, called it “unrealistic” to ask teachers to work this way and urged the district to provide them more training. “It is unfair to expect students to learn in this way, as well.”
Pust acknowledged it will be a “huge lift,” but she added, “it is a huge lift for these students not to have an education. It falls on us as adults to make this happen, and that’s why I truly believe our teachers will and can.”
What a Pustule.
Students in special education might have the opportunity to attend school four or five days a week, because their classes are often small and will allow students and teachers to keep 6 feet apart. (Boston has chosen 6 feet as its standard for social distancing, rather than the state’s minimum of 3 feet.)
Just sign this, quick.
Parents would be given the option to send siblings to school on the same days. “Parents shouldn’t have to choose between their kids and having a job,” said Pust.
If infection rates rise in Boston, the district will have to be ready to “turn on a dime” and enact its plan for fully remote learning, said Pust. It’s unlikely, however, to move in the other direction and enact an all in-person plan.
I would plan on being increasingly remote if I were you.
The complexity of transportation in Boston has made the fully in-person option nearly impossible without investing in scores of new buses, said Pust.
For which they have no money, and they budget as if COVID doesn't exist.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has recommended that only one child occupy each row of seats on a bus to maintain social distancing. Typically, Boston’s buses have carried at least two children per row. “We can only put 50 percent of our students on our buses,” said Pust.
Meaning more greenhouse gases spewed by the buses, but no one cares about that when it comes to COVID other than to flog the hotter-than-ever, carbon-spewing cloud of agenda-pushing pre$$ stink.
Another hurdle to safely reopening schools. Many of Boston’s 135 school buildings were built before World War I and have been neglected for decades. School maintenance staff will audit every classroom to “ensure there’s airflow” and that all windows open, said Pust.
Is the lead out of the water yet because the Globe has kind of dropped the ball on that?
Teachers, parents, and School Committee members expressed skepticism.
I'm not alone!
Charlestown High School teacher Matthew Ruggiero pointed out that he doesn’t have a window in his classroom. “I’m deeply concerned that we are working from a draft removed from the experience of people who work in school buildings.”
“Why are you guys waiting until now?” asked Jessica Tahiraj, a parent of two students in Boston elementary schools, who wants students to return to class but worries about her children wearing masks in hot classrooms. “There’s really not enough time to fix these systems.”
Nor money.
Pust said the district will get the school buildings ready by Sept. 10. “What is the alternative?” she asked. “We can’t make the decision that no one gets their second grade year ... because the windows don’t open.”
The alternative is stay home, and could we have another horrible September 11 with kids dropping dead in schoolyards?

"UMass Amherst reopening plan draws sharp criticism from town officials, residents" by Deirdre Fernandes Globe Staff, July 22, 2020
The expected return of 15,000 University of Massachusetts Amherst students to campus dormitories and nearby apartment complexes next month has alarmed neighboring residents and town officials, who fear the influx of young people will lead to a spike in coronavirus cases.
Another "influx."
I'll bet they had some robust protests down there, though.
In a sharply worded letter to UMass Amherst chancellor Kumble Subbaswamy, Amherst Town Manager Paul Bockelman warned that the flagship public university’s decision to hold most classes online but invite students to return to campus could be dangerous. The university failed to consider the public health risks posed by students living off-campus and the impact its reopening plans will have on a community that had boasted among the lowest coronavirus infection rates in Massachusetts, Bockelman wrote on July 10.
The decisions “will endanger the health, and perhaps, the lives of those who live in and around the Town of Amherst,” Bockelman wrote. “Your decisions mean that we all face a tremendous uphill battle.”
Then SHUT THE SCHOOLS DOWN and LOCK 'EM UP TIGHT until the Guard gets the barbed-wire fencing around them and they can be used as COVID extermination, 'er, recovery centers for the rebellious youth.
Bockelman’s letter highlights growing tension between higher education institutions and their neighbors as the fall semester quickly approaches and thousands of students from all over the country descend on cities and towns that are trying to keep the pandemic in check.
I say the citizens of the town form a picket wall around the schools and dare the students to violate it. Yell get out at them, too.
UMass Amherst, the largest university in the western part of state, plays a vital role in the economy and culture of the region, but during the pandemic it also presents a major risk. Amherst is surrounded by other colleges, but they are significantly smaller. Nearby Amherst College plans to bring mostly freshmen and sophomores back to campus, about 1,250 students, this fall. Hampshire College, which has invited all students back, sits on 800 acres and expects to enroll about 600 students this fall.
A recipe for utter disaster!
For many Amherst residents, the UMass Amherst fall plan is the most troubling, according to dozens of e-mails included in a recent Town Council agenda packet. The university announced last month that it would hold most classes remotely, but students could return to the dormitories if they abide by strict rules. This fall, the university expects it will house about half of the 13,000 students who typically live in the dorms, as others opt to stay home and learn, but typically, about 8,000 UMass students also rent apartments off-campus in the surrounding neighborhoods, and that number is likely to remain the same, town officials fear.
“They are inviting a COVID disaster for the students and for people in the town,” a longtime North Amherst resident wrote to Bockelman.
“This decision is more Floridian than Amherstian,” another resident wrote about the UMass plans.
Oh, all the tests coming back positive and all the deaths being listed as COVID to inflate numbers going on over here, too?
“I’m sure you have seen the scene outside the current student off-campus housing this summer where they’re congregating together outside playing beer pong,” a business owner wrote to Bockelman. “I realize that there are numerous economic implications if our local colleges and UMass flounder; however, my business will remain closed longer if the students cause a dangerous rise in Covid cases.”
You damn kids, God bless you!
University and town officials met Tuesday and are likely to gather again to firm up plans for reducing the spread of the virus when students return, Bockelman said.
Remember way back when it was all about flattening the curve so hospitals wouldn't get overrun?
They keep changing the rationale to push the project further.
Wake up, America!
Amherst officials want the university to increase coronavirus testing and monitoring of students, particularly the 8,000 who usually live off-campus.
So THAT is what they are using this for!
It's the NEW WORLD ORDER, kids!
Subbaswamy and UMass Amherst officials said the university is spending millions of dollars to ensure a safe fall semester.
“This will certainly test our community,” Subbaswamy said, but a vaccine for the coronavirus is unlikely to be available until sometime next year, and universities and communities must learn to adapt to this pandemic and can’t simply shut everything down, he said.
“Simple paralysis is not the way to learn for the future,” Subbaswamy said.
What hollow words, and that money could have been used to reduce tuition rather than support the hoax and fraud that is COVID-19!
When students return to the dorms, they will be immediately tested for the coronavirus. Students arriving from 42 states that remain coronavirus hot spots will have to be quarantined for two weeks, following state rules. Students living off-campus will have to be tested if they enter the university’s dining halls, gyms, laboratories, or studios, campus officials said.
They will get you coming and going if you don't fight back!
There is no testing mandate for students who live off-campus and take all of their classes online. University officials said they are confident they will catch any outbreak, because off-campus students still use the UMass Amherst health center for their medical needs. Additionally, students off-campus and on-campus are likely to interact with each other, and university administrators said they expect that contact tracing and the weekly testing of on-campus students should prevent any spread before it gets out of hand.
PFFFFFFFT!
Still, some of the plans are in flux because the university isn’t sure how many students will show up this fall. The Amherst campus usually enrolls more than 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students, but expects about half that population to be living in the dorms and surrounding area this fall.
Yeah, STILL!
I hope NO ONE SHOWS UP!
That'll show 'em!
The university traditionally doesn’t keep extensive track of its off-campus students, but this year is requiring those who live in local apartments and rental units to register their addresses. The university also plans to do more outreach to off-campus students and their landlords to limit large gatherings and parties, UMass officials said, but town officials say they are uneasy that the university is more focused on the students living in UMass dormitories than those living in apartments in Amherst.
Of course, if you have to spill out into the street for a social ju$tu$ protest, then by all means do!
Don't you kids see the double standards and hypocrisy?
The $chools are being used to further Soviet-style tyranny, but then again, they wouldn't have taught you about that.
If an off-campus student tests positive for the coronavirus, the university currently recommends that the student self-quarantine, which can be difficult in small apartments shared with multiple roommates, town officials said. The university has also suggested that off-campus students who are infected be prepared to return to their family home.
The university is providing isolation rooms for on-campus students.
Is that SCARY as SHIT or WHAT?
Amherst town officials say similar precautions should be taken for coronavirus-positive, off-campus students.
Amherst is also considering additional measures, such as mask requirements for certain areas of town. Grocery stores may be urged to allow for senior shopping hours in the morning and student hours in the evening.
I was wondering when they would get around to covering those diapers.
“For the sake of the economy, we welcome students back, for the sake of the academic community, we welcome students back,” said Lynn Griesemer, president of the Amherst Town Council and a retired employee of the UMass system. “As we face the fall, we see the potential for a predicted spike. We can help contain it; it’s anyone’s guess if we can meet the ideal of staying where we are now.”
I think you should skip the class, kids!
Like UMass Amherst, many colleges and universities have put extensive plans in place to keep students and neighbors safe this fall, said Sheldon H. Jacobson, a computer science professor who studies decision making and risk-assessment at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
One after another.
Whether those rules will be followed consistently, or young people will get fatigued by constantly having to wear masks and keep their distance from their friends and peers, is unclear, Jacobson said.
That many of these students are likely to be asymptomatic could tempt them to break the rules, endangering the more vulnerable people they come in contact with when taking public transportation or going shopping, he said.
What public transportation?
“Everybody is kind of waiting for the tsunami of young people to show up and nobody knows what is going to happen,” he said.
And with a TIDAL WAVE of COVID!

Of course, the wildly inaccurate PCR test could come up anything, and it doesn't even test specifically for COVID-19.

I think it is safe to say there will be no fall sports, so get out your Card while you wait for the bus:
"On school buses this fall: masks, open windows, and distanced seat assignments" by James Vaznis Globe Staff, July 23, 2020
Students will have to don face coverings to board school buses this fall, but they will each get an entire seat to themselves to maintain social distancing, under new state guidelines that will dramatically reduce ridership and complicate reopening plans for many districts across Massachusetts.
The level of fear these kids are being raised incalculable.
The seating restriction — instead of the usual two or three students per seat — means ridership capacity will shrink by more than 50 percent and could dramatically increase the cost of busing students.
As well as the greenhouse gases spewed by the extra routes, but no one cares.
That, in turn, could cause districts to implore parents to drive or walk their children to school, or lead school districts to operate buses in multiple waves, stagger school start times, or alternate students between days of in-person instruction and remote learning, according to the guidelines created in response to the pandemic.
It just occurred to me: WTF are you PAYING for when it comes to EDUCATION anyway?
It looks like NOT MUCH other than TERRORIZING the CHILDREN!
The guidelines also recommend hand sanitizing, cleaning buses after morning and afternoon runs, opening school bus windows as much as possible, and assigning students to specific seats. The latter could result in having a student sit near a window in one row and having another student near the aisle in the next row to ensure the greatest distance possible. The guidelines are designed to maintain a distance of at least 3 feet between students.
Yeah, condition them to be obedient slaves. That's ejewkhazion in Ma$$achu$etts now!
The rules come as districts statewide are scrambling to meet a July 31 deadline to submit a summary of three fall options they are developing — under orders from state education officials — that would provide a full-scale return to school, a continuation of only remote learning, or a mix of the two. Comprehensive plans are due Aug. 10.
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
School district officials have been stalled in crafting their reopening plans because critical guidance from the state, including safety measures for school buses, have been trickling out slowly as state officials consult with educators, medical experts, and other stakeholders. Governor Charlie Baker, who ordered schools closed in March, is encouraging all districts to bring back as many students as possible this fall, depending on the course of the pandemic.
Those would be the same "stakeholders" that Klaus Schwab was talking about in his Great Reset, and did you notice who was left out of the discussion?
Students and parents!
Districts could gain some wiggle room on buses, depending on how many parents keep their children at home. Children can also share seats if they live in the same household.
Given that busing students could take more time this fall, the state will allow districts to cut into required instructional hours on a case-by-case basis.
Robert Baldwin, superintendent of the Fairhaven school system on the South Coast, said the ever-evolving information on school reopening is creating a tense decision-making process. The transportation guidelines, he said, have him wondering if he will need additional bus runs, whether the transportation company will have the capacity to do it, and how that might influence the final school reopening plan.
John McCarthy, chief executive officer of NRT and Van Pool, a school busing company based in Framingham, applauded Massachusetts education officials for finding a comfortable middle ground between the CDC guidelines and private sector transportation operators; nevertheless, he said the guidelines could cause challenges. For instance, he said, a shortage of school bus drivers — compounded by some current drivers at high risk of COVID-19 — could make it difficult for districts to add more buses, but he added some laid-off workers in other sectors of the economy hard hit by the pandemic might find bus driving jobs appealing.....
They better not go on strike ever again!
Of course, they soon won't because the Soviet-style state will simply not allow it.

"The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s self-isolation rules have been a facet of pandemic life in the nation since March. Those who test positive for the coronavirus but who do not have symptoms have counted down the minutes until they could be free to venture out, while the sick have worried about how long they could be a danger to their loved ones. Now, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, acknowledging expanded understanding about the infectiousness of the novel coronavirus, has changed some of its recommendations. It now advises most people with active cases of COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, to isolate for 10 days after symptoms begin and 24 hours after their fever has broken. For those who have a positive test but are asymptomatic, the public health agency as of Friday recommended isolating 10 days from the testing date. The CDC had previously recommended people isolate until two negative swabs for the coronavirus — but that turned out to be impractical given the shortage of tests."
