| Georgia school with the packed hallway had students and staffers test positive for the coronavirus. |
PLEASE SOCIAL DISTANCE!
Hannah Watters gets the last laugh. The young teen who took the famous photo of her high school hallway being packed with students got suspended for it. The school reversed it decision.
She was taking the advice of John Lewis. She wanted to cause "good trouble."
It seems like students and staffers at North Paulding High School tested positive for coronavirus.
The photo taken by Watters showed that school being packed with students.
At least two students at the school were suspended for tweeting the viral photos. One of the students is filing a grievance.
The principal had to tell the public that he fucked up.
"At this time, we know there were six students and three staff members who were in school for at least some time last week who have since reported to us that they have tested positive," said North Paulding High School principal Gabe Carmona.
North Paulding's football team was already facing a coronavirus outbreak before school reopened, as multiple players testing positive and showed symptoms. Still the the school board and its superintendent said schools can't fore students to wear mask.
Wearing a mask is a personal choice, and there's is no practical way to enforce a mandate to wear them," said Superintendent Brian Otott.
Paulding and Cherokee Counties opened schools. Soon as they did, cases of COVID-19 rose and the state of Georgia is one of the five states with highest cases ever.
Gov. Brian Kemp is suing Atlanta, Columbus, Savannah and Macon's mayors over the cities mandates over face masks.
The Republican governor who is an ally of Donald J. Trump has opposed mandatory facial covering.
He continues to allow indoor attractions like bars, restaurants and salons to operate at full capacity.

Trump refuses to take this shit seriously. He continues to visit places without facial protection. He mocks Joe Biden for wearing face masks. He attacks Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix for giving grim assessments. The House of Representatives has passed their version of the CARES Act.
Republicans in the Senate continue to stall legislation and of course, the junk food media blames both parties for the actions.
Here's a map.
Here's things to remember about the coronavirus. Revised.
1. Wash your hands frequently. Wash for at least 20 seconds (two Happy Birthday songs). Use FDA-approved and sanctioned hand sanitizer if there's no soap or warm water nearby.
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes). Most viral infections go through your face. I know scratching your eyes or face is common with most people. Yes, even picking your nose. But the germs on your fingernails can enter the body. People who sneeze towards others spread viral infections.
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands. Most Americans do sneeze into their arm. Some do sneeze into the hand. But if they do sneeze into their hand, make sure they wash their hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals. Businesses are now issuing social distancing and will have the right to refuse service if you're not adhering to the guidelines.
5. If you're sick, please stay home. You could spread the disease to others and trust me, you could face legal ramifications if you're sick and you deliberately showing up to work.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this. Some states have relaxed regulations but that doesn't mean you're fully able to return to normal life. You have to stay vigilant and remind yourself that you can still catch this despite social distancing and safe sanitation practices.

9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Meet, Zoom, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline. The coronavirus is new and scientists are trying to figure out how to combat this.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders. The coronavirus spreads from human to human contact. We have no confirmation on how it made it to the United States. Don't believe what Donald J. Trump says about it coming from China. It was detected in China, then Italy and our first confirmed case was in January 2020 in the United States. We probably had thousands of people affected in 2019 and we just didn't know it.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime. So if people are trying to cough on you, sneeze on you, lick food products, lick toilet seats and refuse to wear masks where its required, they could face criminal charges. This is a controversial issue because some believe the mask isn't protecting them and some don't care about you or your family's health.
14. If you have signs of bluish lips or face, inability to wake or stay awake, new confusion, persistent pain in the chest, trouble breathing or blood in cough, call 9-1-1. There are mobile testing sites in your community but always check with a doctor first before getting a test at a public center. Most doctors will not take you openly without facial protection and confirmed symptoms.
15. Not all symptoms of COVID-19 are confirmed or denied. New issues keep showing up. So don't believe everything you've heard. The most common symptoms are noted above. Also please note that asymptomatic individuals are folks who have no symptoms but are spreading. Those are folks who look normal but have it and not showing signs yet.
16. Retail is now mandating workers and shoppers to wear facial protection. If you are continuing to not follow company policies when it comes to wearing facial protection, you can be banned from their establishment. Walmart, Kroger, Target, Whole Foods, Best Buy and other companies are now requiring facial protection in their businesses.
17. Have patience with those in the healthcare industry, service industry and law enforcement. They are operating at limited staff. Those who work at restaurants, casinos, media companies, landscaping, construction and first responders are working to serve and help you. But note, that they are putting themselves at risk as well of catching the coronavirus. Respect those who have to work in this.
18. Some hand sanitizers are considered dangerous to your health. Methanol-based hand sanitizer could be toxic to those with weaken immune systems or allergies. The Food and Drug Administration have warned of methanol contamination. Some products made in Mexico and China may be dangerous. There are some people ingesting hand sanitizer. See 19.
19. Please do not ingest or inject sanitizer, bleach or hydroxychloroquine into your body. There is no cure for the coronavirus. Scientists are working on creating a safe vaccine to treat the coronavirus.
According to the CDC, there is still not enough information on antibodies for COVID-19 and whether they can prevent someone from getting reinfected. It still recommends that people with a positive antibody test follow recommendations for protecting themselves and others.
The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.
Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.
Healthy people can die from this. Take this seriously. You only have one life!
