France kept classrooms open 'at all costs.' At a school where 20 pupils lost loved ones, some say the price was too high (lies from CNN)

Grace was full of hope as she entered the final stretch of high school. The 16-year-old was two years away from graduating, and she wanted to make her parents proud -- especially her father. 

"I told him I loved him, and I would always do my best," Grace said.    This would be the last promise she ever made to her father, as he lay intubated in an ICU unit for Covid-19 patients. He died the next day, on April 9 of last year, at the peak of the first wave in France. 

Grace's world was shattered. She told CNN she dreaded going back to school in Seine-Saint-Denis, a suburb northeast of Paris that was hit hard by the pandemic, last September.

When she returned, it was still the school she remembered. But for Grace -- who did not want her last name published to protect her family -- nothing was the same.

She worried the other students would treat her differently, and was surprised when one of her classmates confided in her that she too had lost her father to Covid-19. In all, at least 20 students from her high school, Eugene Delacroix, in nearby Drancy, lost a relative to the virus in 2020, according to the town hall.

Nothing suggests these deaths were caused by infections at the school. But CNN has spoken with students at Eugene Delacroix who say they share a common burden: The fear of bringing Covid-19 home and infecting a loved one.

Title was misleading as usual because infections did not happen at the school.

...some say....

Katy Couric used to pull that crap a lot.

CNN is vile. I don’t take it lightly that what the media does is mind raping people. Those who are vulnerable and weak.

Article wisely refrains from mentioning that Grace's father was a diabetic, had been a loyal smoker of Gauloises since he was 16, was 50 kg overweight, had already had three heart-attacks, etc.

The vast majority of people outlive their parents, so nothing new here.
