"Where are your papers?" is something I'd never thought I would hear or present if I wanted to eat a hamburger. If COVID was some aerosolized super-Ebola with a 50-80 percent mortality rate, I could understand the lockdown regime. If it were like the Georgia Flu, which wipes out most of the human population in the HBO series "Station Eleven," I would understand. COVID is not that at all. It's a virus with a 99 percent survivability rate. I don't care about long-term effects or "long COVID."
According to a summary from Rep. Hinson, the "legislation would condition state COVID relief grants for education on schools reopening so that students can get back in the classroom safely."
A bullet point goes on to note that "In December, Congress sent states $54 billion dollars for K-12 schools to reopen safely. Rep. Hinson’s bill would ensure this money is used for its intended purpose, so that students can get back in the classroom safely and soon."
