In CA, all K-12 schools will be closed until Fall... I don't think any high school, in CA, will hold a prom this year...

I feel bad for the high school seniors this year...

I have three graduating this year. My eldest is completing his Associate’s and then heading away for his Bachelor’s, my middle child is graduating high school, and my youngest is moving up from Jr. High.

Trips, dances, and graduation ceremonies all cancelled.

Top that off with two trips to the hospital so far to shake this cough, fever, and lung pain (I’m in quarantine now finally awaiting my COVID 19 test results), and chewing up my sick and vacation time missing weeks of work, it has been a lousy year.

The only bright spot was the Dems getting crushed during the impeachment sham.

I HATE China.

Maybe it would make them feel better to know 30 to 200 times
their graduating class size may be dead by the end of the
summer.

If they and their family members are alive, perhaps they can
find something to be happy about after all.

Me too. This is driving the kids nuts. My seven year old grandson is cooped up with Parents and baby brother, and he is not loving it. It’s got to be three times as bad for the teens.

Hang in there kids! We love you!

“The only bright spot was the Dems getting crushed during the impeachment sham.”

It is great how useless they have shown themselves to be. (See tagline!)

As the man said: China is Assh*le.

missing some of these once-in-a-lifetime memories in an effort to stop the spread of Coronavirus.

Well, this whole coronavirus thing is a once-in-a-lifetime memory. They can enjoy all those activities next year, because everyone will have to repeat this uncompleted school year.

Want to know what will break this Left-wing destruction of our nation’s economy by locking down the country? Get these disappointed Seniors from every HighSchool in America out in the streets on May Day demanding that they be allowed a graduation.
After all, we didn’t cancel senior year activities during WW 1 and WW 2, so why now, when far fewer people have died of the coronovirus than have died of the flu? How ridiculous that this media fiasco has cost us trillions of dollars. Sweden was not as stupid.

Nope. Just the opposite. We've been lied to about the flu numbers for years.

The high school seniors can have their proms and graduation ceremonies in the summertime, if this pandemic has passed by then.

Maybe this year they’ll even learn that life has setbacks and disappointments, but everything can still work out in the end.

That’s what I’m telling my daughter as she is freaking out that her son (honors student) won’t be recognized at graduation. I feel they will have a ceremony after this passes.

My grandson graduates from college. He looks at no graduation as a no big deal.

All he cares about is the job awaiting him....which is in one of the few "necessary" groups and military related. He just lucked out....hope it works out for him. Sadly...it won't work out for many who expected to slide into the workforce.

But we'll spring back...The economy is "US" and failure is not an option.

My daughter’s wedding and bridal shower-—from scheduled to up in the air after significant expense.

But that is not why I despise China, I despise China because it’s government is demonic.

I believe that 100%. The flu numbers are guesstimates. It didn’t matter enough to the CDC to arrange for actual data on the flu to be obtained.

No one can have proof because the data hasn’t been collected. Looking at the CDC sight you can download the actual deaths that are documented from flu. Then there are the estimate numbers, many times greater. The fine print says those numbers are based on a mathematical model.
