Cdc Manual For School In the Fall

Pandemic madness.
Just read the CDC Manual for school next fall.
All children must stay six feet apart.
Have they ever met a three or four-year-old?
Have they ever taught kindergarten?

We have seventy-six kindergarteners in our school,
and there are at least thirty-eight preschoolers.
None of them can keep their hands off each other
Or their hands off of us.
So good luck with your rules, CDC Manual.

Joseph P. DiMino May 22, 2020 at 10:01 AM Not only that! Every child's temperature is taken (as if I've ever seen a kid without a sniffle), and if one has a slight fever, everyone goes home for 2 weeks as a precaution. Insane. There will be no school for kids from here on in.... Vote these offending governors out of office. Period..... Joseph P. DiMino May 24, 2020 at 1:33 PM Actually it does, Caren; CDC is not a law making agency, my understanding--governors can use their own judgement, free to adopt some or non of the CDC guidelines. I have mixed emotions when it comes to the CDC and the World Heath Organization. Blessings my friend. Caren Krutsinger May 22, 2020 at 3:10 PM This is just a crazy time, but this has nothing to do with the governors, this has to to with the Center for Disease Control which is a national organization.
