I think you’re right. I have talked to people who say the supply chain - not only in food but in a lot of important daily things - is completely broken and some places are already having shortages. Production has been stopped, shipping has been stopped, and of course the markets have been shut down. No restaurants, no airlines, no hotels, no hospitals...so no markets.
Hope you’re wrong, but Trump has got to get working on this.
There are a good number of graduate and undergraduate degree programs on line. Hamline Law School has an ABA accredited law school that is taught mostly on-line.
One can get a degree in many majors from the University of Maine, Augusta without going to a college campus.
Some science courses require labs-easy solution: require students to attend an intense lab course for a week or so each semester.
why do you say that?
there are already testing centers nationwide, that provide tests for every thing from licensure up.
The “sky is falling,” nervous-nellies are free to fill up their freezers just as the assholes bought pallets of asswipe.
People who like walking and biking to the store and want to live close to schools and hospitals are NOT going to relocate to rural farms with chores and a two hour drive to a major urban center. But they will be much more willing to move to the suburbs.
When progressives use the phrase “question science,” what they mean is that no one should question the leftist politicization of science.
They see science not as a method of observation and investigation, but as a belief system that it is blasphemy to “deny,” at least when its conclusions conform to their agenda. Leftists are perfectly comfortable denying science – basic biology, for example – when it doesn’t suit their political needs.
True. The leftists deny the biology of male and female as they push the transsexual agenda.
It’s backfiring on them, and the only thing they can think of is to crack down harder.
This is an old left-wing strategy known as “bottom up, top down.” You create the circumstances that will create an uprising for the purpose of cracking down on it so you can get closer to absolute power. And THAT is the ONLY thing any liberal actually cares about.
Agree- I live in the burbs myself. Not experienced in rural life.
The wealthy commie wannabe business owners and university good tyme rock and rollers are going broke. That means there is no cash to further propagate their favorite commie wannabe politicos and their stupid worn out commie ideas!:-)
I saw a poll that 40% of parents are viewing home schooling more favorably. Home schooling is not for everyone, indeed not for most. The same with on-line classes at the college level. There will always be a place for institutionalized teaching.
Many of those in the lower third economically lack a sufficient internet connection to facilitate video classes. But home schooling will get a big boost in the fall as more middle class parents are able to work from home and they have now seen the lack of quality of a public school education. If group activities such as sports, band and theater get cut from the schools, they will have even less reason to send their kids to a public school.
So will home schooling in the fall increase by 40% or 400%? I haven’t a clue. But the school administrators will be even more surprised. They won’t see this coming until they start fall enrollments.
A lot of middle-class parents won’t have jobs to go back to in the fall … giving them a lot more time to “home school”.
Turn all if over to the county departments of recreation. Why do we need very expensive government schools for this?
Even in the professions, most of the material is rote and changes little from year to year. Obviously, laboratory and clinical rotation experience require brick and mortar but the rest doesn't.
It shouldn't cost a quarter of a million to become a physician. With reliable credentialing of material mastered $25,000 is completely possible.
Niel Ferguson actually has a HISTORY of sky high death estimates.
His projections led to millions of British livestock killed due to hoof and mouth disease projections. And it turned out inspectors were spreading it through unsterilized shoes.
He predicted up to fifty thousand dead from mad cow disease.

He predicted up to 200 million dead from bird flu. Note that’s worse than the Wuhan virus and they still didn’t lock everything down.
