the very things the anti-maskers were against--shut downs and virtual schooling-- being caused by their stupidity and selfishness

Brian Kemp has sent more staff as well as members of the Georgia National Guard to assist beleaguered medical workers, but hospitals continue to divert patients arriving by ambulance because of overcrowded emergency departments, according to the Department of Public Health.

Ware County students are set to head back to school Sept. 7 after a two-week pause with no virtual instruction. There simply were not enough employees to run the schools, the district said on social media.
“Some staff members are dealing with their own illness or sickness in their families, so they are unable to work right now," a district representative wrote on Facebook. “Staff members at two schools are grieving significant losses. Many of our staff members have reported that this has been the most difficult start of a new year they've ever experienced. For those reasons and others, we felt the best course of action was to hit the pause button and give staff and students time to recover physically and emotionally."
Many districts are moving classes, grades or entire schools online as the situation deteriorates. Clayton County announced Tuesday it would be moving nine of its 67 schools online in response to increasing infections.
