In this fabulous Medium post by A.J. Kay, the author asks, “if safety requires us to indefinitely forfeit the most valuable parts of our lives, what exactly are we trying to save?”

She then goes on to smartly point out that with a 2.8 million annual  (in America) all cause death toll, this could be the last Thanksgiving for some of our loved ones or perhaps even ourselves.  Do we really want to spend it isolated from the people we care about most because it’s not safe to gather?

Or freezing our butts off outside while keeping our masks on between bites of turkey à la Gavin Newsom and his beyond absurdly comical  coronavirus dictates that HE AND HIS HEALTH ADVISORS DON’T EVEN FOLLOW THEMSELVES?

Oh hell no.  Loneliness and isolation were were big enough problems  before COVID, I can’t imagine how much they’ve grown now that we’ve institutionalized s

Sure enough! We just discuss school closures in NYC as being under the control of the teacher’s union there when the same group pops up in NOVA demanding the same action! (https://patch.com/virginia/ashburn/nova-teachers-unions-call-return-virtual-schooling-watch). Just like a copy-cat crime. Someone starts the process and others follow!

NYC schools showed no trend in COVID-19 cases occurring because of in-school class attendance (https://freemannews.com/2020/11/20/families-blast-school-closures). Prince William County Schools (PWCS) have had no negative trends either. Yet the teachers’ union in PWC has added its voice to those of Loudoun and Fairfax teachers’ unions to ask Governor Northam to issue a mandate that requires 100% virtual learning.

Fairfax has a higher occurrence of COVID among the population than has PWC. The teachers’ unions don’t cite school statistics as the reason for wanting to close schools. Instead, they look at the…

In 2019 Illinois Governor Pritzker signed into law SB 25, which is the Illinois Reproductive Health Act (RHA) (ilga.gov). Its significance will be obvious as we condense the primary features so you know what could be coming down the pike in 2021 in Virginia:

1. Reproductive Health decisions including abortion are a fundamental right.
2. A fertilized egg or embryo does not have any independent rights.
3. Abortion is allowed throughout all nine months of pregnancy for any reason.
4. Abortion clinics do not need to be in an ambulatory surgical center, so do not require licensing and health and safety inspections of the clinics.
5. Non-physicians such as advanced licensed registered nurses may perform medical and chemical abortions.
6. Private health insurance…

CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield says that K-12 schools are among the “safest places” from the pandemic kids can be and should remain open (CDC Director: Schools Among ‘Safest Places’ Kids Can Be, Closing Schools An ‘Emotional Response’ Not Backed By Data (dailywire.com)). Yet NYC just closed schools to try to stop the spread of COVID-19. NYC has the largest school system in the country and is sending over one million kids home to do distance learning at least until after Thanksgiving. Data prove that virtual learning, especially for low-income children, is a disaster.

As a result of the closing, families are expected to make sudden adjustments after being able to go back to work with their children in school. How do they suddenly find child care—or do they miss work and necessary income to stay home?
