School officials in Oklahoma say a student knowingly attended classes with the coronavirus on the first day of school, thinking it was safe to do so because he was asymptomatic.

The student was identified following an anonymous tip on Thursday, the first day of classes for the school, according to KFOR. The parents of the child told the school they had “miscalculated” the end of their child’s quarantine and thought it was safe to send him to school.

Moore schools announced that another student also tested positive for the virus, and 22 students who came in contact with the two students are now quarantining. “We will do absolutely everything within our power to safeguard and protect our students and our staff,” school spokesperson Dawn Jones told KFOR.

“I don’t know why people do things, why they make certain decisions. What they know to be true and inform us of,” Jones said. Oklahoma has recorded nearly 48,000 cases of COVID-19, including more than 650 deaths, since the start of the pandemic.

Your education system is a big failure

Either he didn't make a 'mistake' .. and it was done on purpose to cause a panic and another shutdown of the school or he really is 'that dumb' .. because .. he was taught in a leftist school program.

Dumb fucking parents for a start

If these fools hadn't made children go back to school in the middle of this pandemic, it never would have happened. Too bad the innocent have to suffer because of the stupidity of a lot of adults on ego trips with their heads up their rear ends.

Great parenting ParentingFail

Yep - that’ll do it

If he tested positive for coronavirus, shouldn't he have been told to self isolate by a doctor? He and his parents should have been fully aware of what their responsibilities were.

Didn't his parents know better?

In other news, this is what happens when you cut sciences as standard curriculum.

Public school has failed him lol

Okie logic

This is just bizarre that its been 5 months since the lockdown happened and people still don't know jack about this disease. How does that happen!!! Ppl need to stop burying their head in the sand

realDonaldTrump insists on its blind policy of child sacrifice seems to have an effect. That brings no solutions to crisis, and puts the lives of innocent people at risk. Apparently WhiteHouse is still complicit with an unbalanced pedophile, rights violator, rapist, ...

I've been working since this whole thing started, and only 3 people from my job have gotten it. We still kept working, they got better and came back to work. 3 confirmed cases 0 deaths. It's going to happen no matter what we do.

Omg. Just leave it alone already, kids are staying home, let's just keep them at home from now on. We get it.

So yea, let’s open the schools cause the kids understand how serious this 💩💩is...NOT! 👹🤬

martee22 & our president did say to drink Lysol so I cant blame the kid if the national leadership is so subpar.

Stupid. Selfish.

martee22 Asymptomatic Student was sitting in class like:

so selfish and ignorant.

The president and his Faux news propaganda machine said he could.

🤦‍♂️

Cue: and the parents of the year are....

I mean... if I can work while asymptotic why can’t they attend schoo? 😂😂😂

He knew better.

That’s a dangerous thing the kid did, no excuses makes that permissible.

jmannies *Screams silently in my heart*

ImagineThat

Good parenting right there but let’s blame it on Washington. Alrighty then.

Not surprising, given the lack of leadership from our crooked businessman-governor. He's too busy trying to impress the Manchurian Cantaloupe.

I think the Pandemic we have on our hands in the US is stupidity more than the virus itself.

SchrodyBach Dammit.....!😷🔬🧪

There’s a pandemic of misinformation in America. Even highly educated people I know get confused about the facts. With data changing & guidance evolving on top of work & life I get why ppl are confused. This is why clear uniform messaging from the government is so important. 🚨

OANN must be on at home alot

RT : School officials in Oklahoma say a student knowingly attended classes with the coronavirus on the first day of school, thinking it was safe to do so because he was asymptomatic.

Maga being maga

They really thought this wouldn't happen? Shows how much people don't know kids. Idiots.

Oh I think there is more to this story. A good reporter should get the facts. My bet is Trump and what he said will come up.

?

oh brother

You mean his parents think it’s okay. Do they watch Fox?

This prison will never end..with all these smart people in the wild 🤡

TrumpMisinformation FauxNews FoxNewsKills

You mean a student’s PARENTS knowingly sent him to school with asymptomatic COVID.

smartdissent I wonder where he would get that misinformation from?!? 🤔 COVID45 TrumpLiedPeopleDied MurdererInChief ITakeNoResponsibility GOPBetrayedAmerica GOPTraitors GOPCowards

smartdissent Wow nice parents. Letting child known covid positive attend school.

This is the fault of the parents, and they should be held accountable.

OHSportsGirl

SmartOne8927 Wow, did he listen to GovKemp before going to school?

Give him an F. Expell. Dumber that dumb comes.

adams2011 Im sure we can thank misinformation Don and Fox’s fake a** for this families woes! LordHaveMercy FoxNewsIsFakeNews FoxNewsLiedPeooleDied MisinformatioDon

And his parents didn't know he was positive for C19 Umm...

Seems like they don't teach logic in that school

SpiroAgnewGhost I can’t. 🙄

What an idiot

This is a public health systems problem, not as much teens fault. This would be unthinkable anywhere else

'Don't know much about biology'

That makes no sense - if he had no symptoms how is he supposed to know

He was right

Wonder when civil lawsuits will start?

Just wait til he hears about evolution

Parents miscalculated the days in quarantine couldn't count to 14...and student thought they were not infectious if asymptomatic. This is a lesson in what to expect when school resumes Nationwide. 😶

Of course he went unknowingly. What the scientists & REAL Doctors have been saying. 2 many ppl are asymptotic GOP let me say this slowly that means they’re infected but HAVE ZERO SYMPTOMS SO U CANT CHECK HIS FEVER DUMMIES! It’s not safe for schools keepyourchildhome save lives!

🎶 The less you know ... 🎵

SpiroAgnewGhost Where would he have gotten idea like that?

This is exactly why my daughters are not starting in-person school on Wednesday morning. We’ve been being smart and safe since March. I don’t trust anyone else.

Yep, that's my Oklahoma! (Went there to 1st grade and junior high/high school). I don't blame him; I blame his parents and his community for feeding him chock full of BS.

This is so infuriating!!! People need to stop watching fox, oann, and newsmax so they will learn what the heck is going on!!!

SpiroAgnewGhost From the south you say

Boy, it's a damn shame this virus just snuck up on them with no warning. If only they had heard about it on the news or something over these last 5 months. 🙄 snark

No doubt his stupid parents sent him knowing he was positive. Other kids start getting sick, parents know who to hunt down.

WritesMore You can’t safeguard against ignorance or stupidity.

That’s cuz dumbshit GOP governors like GovStitt hide the science from his citizens which actually leads to sickening/kill the people he is supposed to b looking out for - total incompetence & ineptitude- GOP gerrymanders &can only rule by minority cuz majority knows GOP = IDIOTS

The parents should be charged with endangering every staff and student in that school.

I’m the age of Trump, truth is what you believe. Science and facts aren’t truth. Only what you believe is the truth.

How many parents are going to send their kids to school sick? How many teachers won't be able to miss 2 weeks because that much lesson planning is more stressful than being out? I want to go back, but are these things being considered?

He pulled a Louis Gomert.

They’re virtually immune!

. Parents of that kid should be sued. .

BlameTrump

So glad his parents allowed him to go. This is the problem.

We need more adults in the room.

No, his parents sent him to school....please place blame where it belongs.

Trumps lil muopets drinking his koolaid..and his parents too

A man lost a job because of this phone courtesy. It all boils down to being proud and lack of manners.

In New Zealand, the much ballyhooed success story; they test only after a person is very sick with respiratory symptoms and hospitalized. So by that standard; this student doesn't have COVID

i stand by my original comment. anti-maskers are the disease spreaders that also intentionally give you STDs.

I dont kids living there.

Unfortunately, we are dependent on the dopes of this world to not do dopey stuff like this. We are doomed.

And

Every PERSON whom goes GROCERY SHOPPING Can Get it.., So , get on with Life..

We all have it... sorry... Part of us now, Get used to living with it.., Thank China again History repeats itself from bringing deadly diseases over...

You found one! What a scoop! Anything to prove the teachers’ unions right! God forbid you stop the fear-mongering...

Talk about unconstitutional every day his presidency gets more outrageously dangerous. I'm sure the founders did not want America to go back to a monarchy

Good for him! Fuc Oklahoma!

Let me guess... that's what his FOXNEWS-watching family told him...

He must not have a tv

It’s no worse then the commom cold well oppps it is the commom cold. Boohoo

ervmary

Well I’m sure they took his temperature to make sure it was safe for all of his classmates.

Work it NBC. Really push it hard! Come on Man, this is War! Your last chance. So sad you entered this field unprepared. Fuck w our kids using bullshit scare tactics? Mmm hmm...

Thats probably why it’s ok to protest and riot. Everyone is asymptomatic 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sure

Everyday people knowingly go places that Cary diseases

Scrolling twitter and my lil sis's HS shows up in my feed...and not for a good reason.

Wear a mask! Don’t be another ASS!

Having you as my account manager makes me a forever champion I kept on cashing out weekly, I recommend you all to her LisaDon23257615

This is only the beginning.

Good old stupid Oklahoma

If only people wore masks.

Educating our kids is not easy.

False pos

More freak-out propaganda from leftist fake news. Healthy children have statistically at NO risk for getting. Covid is hardest on the elderly & ill. With our huge testing rate, the US mortality rate is dropping rapidly & is in line with the seasonal flu.

Future Republican voter.

Education is key in more ways than one.

He Just Wanted To Play Tag But More Realistic Than Ever Before

Evidently student was asymptomatically brain dead. 🙄

Lmaooo white folk think they special

When people who don't understand what 'asymptomatic' means.

Stupidity reigns

And who are the parents?

WTH

MalcolmNance At least we know one student who isn't graduating this year; back to kindergarten.

Why is a kid allowed to make such a decision? Where are the parents or guardians?

On stage! Professor Zachary Kasepoi (Kidney transplant surgeon and urologist) explaining the shock of a miracle of creation. Listen in

School officials in Oklahoma say a student knowingly attended classes with the coronavirus on the first day of school, thinking it was safe to do so because 'his parents say' he was asymptomatic.

Misleading headline... The kid and his parents were lying. The kid said 'I'm asymptomatic so I can't spread it' and the parents said they 'miscalculated his quarantine days'

What did his parents say about it?!

Lack of knowledge is encouraged by Trump while it is deadly to others

Now repeat this thousands of times across the country when schools are up and running.

They tell you stay home if you have the flu or a cold so why would covid be any different? Idiots.

the student decided? what about his parents? 🤦‍♀️

BurnettCynthia Dumb da dumb dumb!

If the leader of this country would have taking this virus seriously from the beginning we wouldn’t be here today ! StopTheMisinformation ListenToScience

Stay home. Why I this still an argument?

Yea. You should probably also worry about all the untested asymptomatic students that are walking around in your schools infecting others since you idiotically opened schools while prevalence is high in Oklahoma.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

But for gods sake‘s don’t give unemployment benefits to gig workers so these little shits can go to and fro from school every day

During Flu season that’s normal

So sad that after everything people still are doing such unsafe practices and putting teachers and other students in danger.

MalcolmNance I wonder why .. this administration is a damn failure. I am old enough to remember the get tested campaign to fight HIV. Do u see any kinda of get tested, wash hands, here is the info u need .etc. on a national level ? The answer is NO

That’s on the parents.

MalcolmNance WHERE WERE THE PARENTS? COVIDIOTS

raye8405 The kid & his parents should be smarter, but these are consequences when leaders such as notMyPresident shoot their mouths off full of bullshit & misinformation, belittle medical & scientific pros & facts, and parade around without a mask trumpLiesAmericansDie fucktRump

MalcolmNance There you go. Listened to Trump instead of Fauci

MalcolmNance is he related to Rand Paul?

MalcolmNance I believe you mean a student's parents sent him to school. They are our responsibility. If a minor believed it was safe to go because they were asymptomatic, it is because the caregivers let them believe that. They say they 'miscalculated ' but this story puts blame on the child.

MalcolmNance Every day I ask: how far can American education dumb stupid down?” And every day I discover we haven’t hit bottom yet.

They need to go after to the parents now

Intelligence and leadership are necessary requirements to run a school system.

Thanks, GOP.

debbieford14 Ummm doesn't that student have parents or responsible guardians who knew he had it?

Oklahoma gonna Oklahoma

Bio terrorist

Oklahoma. Surprised🥴

Some people still believe it’s a hoax... sad!

Clearly they need more school in Oklahoma 🤦🏻‍♀️

His parents definitely watch Fox News

Oklahoma being Oklahoma.

This shouldn't be a surprise. Parents often send their kids to school when they have a cold or flu in normal times

He should be held accountable for his dangerous and selfish act. 😡😡

People are so misinformed

Sheesh, it’s the mayors fault and the de ion makers

Thanks magats. Only you fools spread the kind of lie that leads to this. Vectorists

I think the farther south you go the dumber they get

That's what y'all clearly wanted when y'all insisted upon opening schools with this going on

When full grown up adults act like a fool. What do you expect from kids? This strategy is playing with fire 🔥. Just sit back and watch the numbers go up

Really

His parents said they miscalculated... Did they say that with a straight face?

Was this kid and his family at the Tulsa Rally? Inquiring minds want to know.

Guess this child’s lack of education says volumes about that school.

This is what happens when you have kids with parents who listen to what Trump and his cronies have to say.

Ignorance, what does it look like?

That’s why everybody needs to go to school!!!

And... here we go.

Who makes the decisions? Child or parent? His parents need a re-fresher course in basic science and parenting.

His parents should be reprimanded and be held accountable

Remember, “DO NO HARM”! School administrators MUST make COVID testing required for ALL students before returning to school. Parents that fail to have their children tested will have to homeschool them! Administrators that FAIL to enforce safety testing will be FIRED!

When he was told he had the virus, did any medical staff tell him to stay home until he tested negative? Just wondering because it is Oklahoma.

But Trump said ...

And there, ladies and gentlemen, is our schools at work. 🙄

Thanks Trump...

I would like to ask a question, yesterday a youtube channel called 'Vibri gameplays' changed its name to '[XRP] Rɪᴘᴘʟᴇ-NBC NEWS'. I would like to know if you have acquired the rights to this channel or if you have anything related to this change. Thank you and I look forward.

Okyhoma? Isn't that an inbred illiterate redneck sanctuary state? Thought I heard it was desperately trying to get to the top spot in ignorance, credulity, and illiteracy. It's a tough race between Dixieland holdouts. A real tight race. I might of heard wrong, but I think not.

Parents are RUMP lovers and Fux believers.

Kid doesn’t watch enough tv

He’s right. If you don’t have symptoms and you aren’t coughing and sneezing you are not spreading the virus
