Where's the Restart message though? How will we know that they're better than everyone else and need to get the economy started in a free-for-all consumerism orgy?

Trump’s COVID advisor urges Americans to visit elderly for Thanksgiving because it may be their ‘final’ oneTrump’s COVID advisor urges Americans to visit elderly for Thanksgiving because it may be their ‘final’ one

 David Badash and The New Civil Rights Movement November 17, 2020
   
President Donald Trump's highly controversial COVID-19 advisor,Dr. Scott Atlas, is urging Americans to visit their elderly family members for Thanksgiving because it may be their final one. Atlas warns against isolation despite the coronavirus pandemic's near-exponential explosion.

"This kind of isolation is one of the unspoken tragedies of the elderly who are now being told don't see your family at Thanksgiving," Atlas, a radiologist, not an epidemiologist, told Fox News Monday evening, as Media Matters reported.

"For many people this is their final Thanksgiving, believe it or not. What are we doing here? I think we have to have a policy, which I have been advocating, which is a whole person, whole health policy. It's not about just stopping cases of COVID. We have to talk about the damage of the policy itself."

Pro-Trump coronavirus truthers try to invade Utah hospital overrun with COVID-19 patients: report

   
When President Donald Trump was voted out of office in the 2020 election, one of the top reasons why millions of U.S. residents voted to replace him with former Vice President Joe Biden was his woefully inadequate response to the coronavirus pandemic. Regardless, so-called "coronavirus truthers" on the far right continue to insist that the pandemic is merely a hoax that President-elect Biden and other Democrats used to harm Trump's presidency. And at a Utah hospital that is being overrun with COVID-19 patients, the Daily Beast reports, health care workers are having to cope with extremists who don't even believe that the patients are sick.

"Conspiracy theorists," journalist Michael Daly reports in the Beast, have made "repeated visits" to Utah Valley Hospital in recent weeks. According to Daly, Utah's coronavirus truthers "decided that the small number of cars outside the Provo facility was evidence that the pandemic is a hoax" and "entered the hospital with video cameras seeking to film what they believed would be an equally empty ICU."

Not practical at all, how are they going to transport these kids, who is going to pay the insurance, who is paying to retrofit, are the teachers going to be completely cut off from being online or connected to the office. 

What if my kid gets hurt how am I going to know? Who is going to pay for the extra admin support required?

I know a good lawyer, but he’s tied up in litigation, and he’s very expensive..but he makes sure he’s neatly dressed.
