Hold on, are you implying that Philly has an educational system? All I’m aware of is Motown, Philly steak sandwiches and GUNS

“Students and families can continue to pick up meals at designated sites...”

Tell me again why we bother giving them welfare AND food stamps?

Gov Wolf is out of control. Now I know why they closed the liquor stores. He and his cronies are drunk with power and determined to wield it. It is well known that children don’t get it or are at worst mildly symptomatic. Let them go to school and quarantine the elderly or debilitated.Setting them back education will have consequences that will reverberate for a long time. To quote the famous media phrase, “ minorities hurt the most. “

Now that you mention it, one of the tourist areas of Philly was Market St. Lots of restaurants & bars. Can’t imagine what that’s going to look like when the smoke clears.

Not sure how they're going to handle it. My guess is they will do something along the lines of pass/fail. With the possibility of lawsuits for special ed and such, they may just move everyone along.

On the bright side, those who want to learn will apply themselves to the online work without the in-class distractions of the troublemakers.

Sad all around. No prom, no good-byes, no family beaming at the graduation ceremonies, all the million little things that go along with it.

In Sweden kids through middle high school are still in school. Why? Look at the test positive case numbers and severe-to-death rates of Covid-19 for kids - miniscule.

Begs the question, what criteria will permit the reopening of schools and what, if any, limits upon which students may return when that criteria is met? Consider the following:

Link to Crowdsource the Truth Video: Is Dr. Tedros Adhanom & WHO the tip of Marxist infiltration Spear? w/Diana West Lots of covid-19 related issues discussed. In particular, how social distancing is desensitizing the public.

For example, ln the limited instance when stepping out for groceries, we see grocery stores limiting supermarket access to fewer and fewer patrons to maintain the distance required under current social distancing protocol. Once inside, each aisle of the grocery store has arrows dictating the direction for the flow of traffic. Registers limit the distance between patrons . Diana points out that certain locations (LA, DC)_deny access to anyone not wearing a mask.

In the linked video, the host, Jason Goodman asks, how long before they limit access to any building or business unless patrons are willing to have their hands scanned for a chip which identifies vaccination records?
