So Alexandria Ocasio Cortez has Covid

I think you just outed yourself angel97701 .

I don’t care what everyone else feels. I’m not sure where you read that I was deciding how everyone feels. I’m sick of having nonstop covid shoved in my face everywhere I go and in everything I do.  I’m going to live my life the way I want to and I don’t give two craps what anyone else thinks about that.

Did something get deleted

Said by practically every Republican I know. 

The entire world is sick of this Covid crap. But the more you fight doing what works help to eradicate it, the more it will be shoved in our faces. 

I’ve gotten the fucking vax and as such, I will no longer mask. It’s not effective and I feel like I’m suffocating in one. Too bad.

angel97701  Since you deleted your post, I will just respond here.

Why are Republicans only now concerned about children's mental health?  Seems like a convenient excuse to push opening schools or keeping them open. 
You seem to believe that all Republicans think the same, as a long time teacher I've always had concern for student's academic, mental, and physical health.

Where was the concern for mental health with all of the school shootings, active shooter drills, lockdown drills over the last 20 years?  Those decidedly have a negative impact on mental health.

www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2018/02/effects-of-active-shooter/554150/I am not sure how this relates to being conservative or a liberal, I think we are all concerned about school shootings, both lock-in and lock-down.  We've done the same for fire drills, bomb threats, etc over the years.  I've been in all of these types of drills, real earthquakes, and real fires in the building one in my ancient chemistry classroom too!
Unbelievably I was in a two hour lock down while subbing on 12/9, just over a month ago, even had two police officers and the superintendent remove a student from where we were locked in the ceramics kiln room to question him.  Believe me the students I was in lock down with last month were on their phones staying informed about what was happening on the campus. They were concerned but in general felt safe. As the students were escorted from the building the state police, county sheriffs, and local police department were there in full force with full armament. This all started 30 minutes after lunch and went up to end of school! I worked at the same school the following day for a different teacher and had discussions with each class.  In general the student consensus was they would rather be uncomfortable, complete the drill as trained, than deal with what happened in Oxford, MI just 2 weeks before. 
I've also heard gunshots outside of my classroom back in 2002, and was in a 3 hour lock down, pulled in one student from the hall . . . the one who had been shot in gang related shooting and was a paraplegic.  The shooter had been a student in in my classroom the year before.  Was it important to debrief with the students and adults?  Was I concerned for the students when TikTok had warnings of school shootings right before Christmas.  I have a student in HS myself.

How are conservatives concerned about children's mental health when they are pushing the censure or removal of books from school libraries. How do you think children of color, LGBTQ + children feel when books about them, about their experiences are targeted?I worked in a school for 6 years that was 80% students of color, and recent immigrants.  Book censure has not been an issue in my state and I do validate students who choose to use different pronouns than their ones from birth.  I have students come up to me and tell me that they prefer a different gendered name when I call roll as a sub.  How is this not considered valuing their choices.  As a teacher it is not my responsibility to change their opinions about themselves. Yes, these are my personal opinions!
How are conservatives concerned about mental health when they fight against diversity, education and inclusion?  What about the mental health of those children they are trying to marginalize?  Parents fighting against CRT have now expanded their target to specifically include mental health programs.
Inclusion is important, but what to CRT really teaching?

Where was the concern about children's mental health when the Trump administration separated children from their families at the border?  Oh, it was only children trying to escape violence in their own countries, so it's OK to treat them that way?Yes Trump did this and was it right? No! Have previous and current administrations done the same thing, I believe so.

How are conservatives concerned about children's mental health when they are constantly fighting to reduce school spending.  How can schools provide counseling if they don't even have the budget to cover books or teacher's salaries?I do not believe that this is true, to reduce school spending, and being a teacher don't you think I would be incensed that my salary is reduced?  One year I worked 10 days for free to keep our schools open until the end of the year.  Our union agreed to that because the city kicked in 10 days worth of funding.  Yes, my salary was decreased for four months, but it was a statewide issue, not a conservative republican issue.  As with most teachers in our state that year I took a summer job to make ends meet.
Where is the concern for children's mental health when Republicans ban trans-gender children from participating in athletics?What about the mental health of the young women who are being denied the access to biological equity?  Young women who have worked and practiced hard all their lives and then get bumped off the podium? 

Its difficult to believe Republicans genuinely care about children's mental health when they vote against programs to reduce child poverty or funding for universal pre-school.How do you justify saying that all republicans vote against programs to reduce child poverty and pre-school programs?
The conservative/ Republican claim to care about children's mental health is disingenuous at best.  Actions speak louder than words.  

You are such a joy.  I’m thinking single and staying that way. 

the current death rate from omicron is 2% which makes it probably under 100 people.  Omicron is going to help with natural immunity because so many are getting it and so few are dying from it. 

One can't compare global numbers with US numbers, didn't we cover this with the recent SC controversy?

OK, not a US pea so different perspective. Is the problem she broke the rules in Florida, or did she break the rules of another state because they are different in her constituency?

I thought it was common knowledge internationally that having the covid jab and boosters reduces the risk of serious complications from covid, which is qhy vunerable and those with other health conditions have been a priority for jabs. And for some strains there had been evidence that it has reduced infection rate. But I have never seen anywhere that it means you will not catch it.

Every one is fed up with Covid, but its still out there. I am not sure if masks will completely go away. I am not sure I ever want to sit crammed on a plane again without one.
