Will the (so called) Health Department release statistics on death from suicide, overdoses, and failing to obtain medical care in a timely manner? Asking for the victims.
It looks like MDUSD has kicked the can down the road too many times, now there’s one day left for them to pick it up…time to get serious and open up K-6!
Even New York city is reopening restaurants this coming Friday. Hey Gavin, you can do it buddy. Hopefully there are 2% still operating.

Is anyone really reading these reports? Of verified any of this data?
They should be figuring as many ways as possible to get the schools open in some form instead of sitting back and waiting for the numbers to align to some arbitrary numbers. Who made these set of numbers that they are waiting on they think are perfect.
That’s true – but realistically the schools are just trying to sit this entire thing out and they aren’t going to open just because the county says they can. I don’t know who made the County Health Dept put up this “countdown” to school reopening clearance, but I like it, in the circumstances. Anything to put a little pressure on the school districts, unions, and politicians to do the right thing. Let’s put a little “follow the science” on the scales to counterbalance the real factor, “follow the public sector union’s commands.”
