Teachers in Florida are suing the state to block an emergency order requiring schools to open next month with in-person instruction. They say, with the surge of coronavirus cases, the order violates a provision in the Florida Constitution requiring the state to ensure schools are operated safely.

The emergency order, issued this month by Florida Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran, says all school districts "must open brick and mortar schools at least five days a week for all students." The order says the final decision on whether to reopen schools rests with local superintendents and school boards. But it suggests funding may depend on it. The districts that submit reopening plans approved by the state will receive full funding.

In the meantime I hope the teachers are also doubling down on the healthy behaviors to address any vulnerability to coronavirus.

Think about all the weight that could have been lost in the last 4 months and the benefits to cholesterol, diabetes and blood pressure.

Was there one campaign to what individuals could do to protect themselves other than hide and shit in their pants?

Think about the sheer cowardice of 'the superintendent gets the final say but your state funding depends on doing what we say'.

I bet Trump tries to adopt a version of that at the Federal level.

Definitely. For my part, my resting heart rate has dropped by about 15-20 bpm, my blood pressure's almost normal and I've been exercising like a fiend, 5-6 days a week. I wanted to be healthier anyway, but at this point the mental health benefits exceed the physical ones.

Take lots of preventative hydroxychloroquine and spend hours on the sunbed?

You are not paying attention. Injecting bleach of course.

Anyway I think obesity has gotten worse since Covid. So we should just eat and hope big bad Pharma rescues us.

I find it easier to control my diet if I don't have to deal with going into the office. I've lost some weight since working from home.
