How many people have died exactly after being infected from a child or adult at school? Anyone? Pretty sure it's zero. So not sure why I see people panicking below.

Of course. Hope no kid catches it and brings it home

Many cities in America open over a month now, no spikes in cases. BLM protest happened, wanna guess what? No meaningful spike in cases.

Here we go.....SecondWave imminent. And yet we're RELAXING restrictions keepthebordersclosed

Ooooooh dear ScottyFromMarketing and Glady 🤔😏🙄🤷🤦

We opened too early

Second spike incoming.

”But Mr Dizdar said that as the staff member had close contact with most of the 455 students at the school” means librarian?

And in two weeks plus one day another lazy prick teacher will claim they are positive- get two independent dr. Certificates- they will do anything to get out of work. Charge them with fraud when they get caught.

What happens when you got a woman running the state.

But schools are safe! WTF
