“All schools and offices will be closed on Tuesday, March 10 with additional closures being decided.
“This closure will allow us to clean and sanitize affected schools as well as share additional details of our ongoing plan,” officials said in a statement. “Updates regarding this concern will be shared via additional emails and the district website.”
Lockner: Three confirmed positives in Ohio—all in Cuyahoga County.
Oh for FFS, at least come up with a new argument.
If this what Rush tweeted out today?
Come back when you can think for yourself and not simply spout propaganda—from either side.
Italy is currently reporting near 100 deaths every day past couple days I think. Italy is comparable to Florida and Georgia with half of Bama as mountains.

This afternoon, I was notified by CPAC that they discovered a photo of myself and the patient who has tested positive for #COVID19.
While I am not experiencing any symptoms, I have decided to self-quarantine out of an abundance of caution.
