The state of #education in #Seattle currently:

@SeaPubSchools: We don't have enough bus drivers to get your kids to school, so we are going to stagger start times between 7:30 and 9:30.

Sorry not sorry, parents who work and kids who play sports. (1/)

Also @SeaPubSchools - we don't have enough Narcan to handle all of the kids who are OD'ing at school. Two doses per school isn't enough for any given day.

I'm sure this has nothing to do with school closures or insane Covid policies, even though overdoses are "rising". (2/)

Meanwhile, in Seattle private schools, healthy kids are being required to quarantine for 5 days after their vacation AND test negative on a PCR test for Covid-19.

Of course, this only applies to the unclean (aka unvaxxed) kids. (3/)

And of course, prior natural immunity is completely irrelevant: (4/)

PS, "emergency" use authorization vaccines are required for all kids out of an abundance of "safety": (5/)

Even though vaccinated 5-11's are getting Covid at twice the rate of unvaxxed kids, while boosted 12-15 years olds are 20% more likely to get Covid than unvaxxed. Again, I'm sure natural immunity has nothing to do with this unexplicable phenomenon. (6/)

Meanwhile, masks are "optional" although you'll be shamed and blamed should you dare to show your face around the school. You'll be reminded of the immunocompromised, the kids under 5 who aren't "eligible", and little Johnnie's grandma who will certainly die if you get sick. (7/)

Great job at following #TheScience™, team! Keep up the good work of keeping our kids "safe". It's working miracles!

...or maybe it isn't doing a damn thing other than harming the kids, judging by Seattle's higher-than-national-average Covid transmission rate...
