Various school districts across the state have argued against Abbott's ban, citing statistics that show children are increasingly impacted by the highly contagious Delta variant of COVID.to advise teachers, students and other staff members to wear face masks in schools, a turnaround from its advice earlier in the month.argued that face masks will need to be worn by those in schools as the Delta variant spreads because children under the age of 12 aren't yet eligible to get a vaccine.
NBC DFW reported that Forth Worth ISD voted last week to join a lawsuit started in South Texas that is challenging Abbott's ban of face mask mandates, with Superintendent Kent Scribner saying:"I think what we have to do is recognize this is a global pandemic, this is a public health crisis that we cannot allow to be a generational educational crisis.
"So we really have to make decisions, de-personalize it, because it's not about any one of us individually. It's a community decision that ultimately we have to arrive at." Texas has been one of several states badly affected by the spread of the Delta variant in recent weeks, and its most recent data from Wednesday shows that it recorded 20,058 new COVID cases, with a seven-day average of 13,457.
The state also saw 174 deaths on Wednesday, with a seven-day average of 100 fatalities, while 12,402 were hospitalized with COVID.
Because some stupid people don’t want to wear masks?
Fauci, Daszak, Andersen el tried to cover up the true origin of Covid-19 pandemic that killed millions just to protect their positions. They deserve no quarter from the rest of the human race. By funding &defending the CCP lab in Wuhan they have blood of 4m people in their hands.
Fauci guides Andersen to a conclusion he wanted & had it published in Nature. Then used that research paper as an 'independent research' by 'renowned experts' to quell questions about lab leak possibility. For that Andersen got $10m from NIH in 2020 & promoted to full professor.
