North Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia students not following medical guidelines regarding coronavirus

This is a follow up to the May 12, 2020 article "Schools Set To Reopen In Select Regions During Coronavirus Outbreak But Is It Safe" where I stated it is unwise to send children back to school during a pandemic ("Schools in Britain and America are making plans to reopen shortly. However, I do not think it is safe at this time") .

In the article published to this site 3-months ago and social networking, while lockdown was still in effect, I stated, "The fact of the matter is preteens and teens can be absent-minded and sometimes careless (many of us were at those ages). Some will not have the presence of mind to practice proper hygiene and social distancing at all times, especially when they are around their friends at school. Therefore, it's best to keep them out of harm's way."

Fast-forward to this month where kids are now being sent back to school in many places in America and the coronavirus infection rate has skyrocketed among children to alarming levels as a result of it. School boards across America are distressed by the developments. This is what I was afraid of and warned against 3-months ago.

Last week a photo surfaced of school teens at North Paulding High School in Dallas, Georgia walking in the hallway, tightly packed, not social distancing or wearing masks. As I emphasized in my article 3-months ago, kids/teens tend to be "careless", "absent-minded" and some do not practice "proper hygiene." It wasn't an insult. That's just how kids/teens are in life.

Last week, 15-year-old North Paulding High School student, Hannah Watters, posted the photo (shown above in this article) to social networking and was outrageously suspended for 5-days for doing so, as it spread online like wildfire and embarrassed the school administration. After national anger at the principal's decision, the suspension was reversed and removed from her school record. An apology was also issued. She should not have been suspended for showing the truth.

This same pattern of no adherence to medical and scientific guidelines is repeating itself at other schools in America that have reopened this month and it is a danger to students and faculty. It is a serious problem that needs to be addressed or America will have a generation of sick preteens/teens, who become adults in a few years, struggling with long term health conditions brought on by the coronavirus. This impacts national health and the productivity of the workforce.

Already the coronavirus rate in the south in America has sharply risen among students with the reopening of schools. In Georgia, schools have just quarantined over 2,000 students and teachers, due to the botched re-openings.

Yesterday on the local news in Miami it was stated that over 40,000 kids in the State of Florida now have the coronavirus. A national news article revealed over 97,000 kids in America tested positive for the coronavirus in the last 2-weeks of July alone, with the numbers rising this month. 87 children in America have died from the coronavirus. Therefore, kids aren't immune to the virus. It is also important to note that over 167,000 Americans have died from coronavirus.

Therefore, in the 3-months since I wrote the article "Schools Set To Reopen In Select Regions During Coronavirus Outbreak But Is It Safe" it has been proven correct. I also stated in the same article, "Students can continue to take online classes to keep up with coursework. They can receive educational assistance from school employees at government approved websites. It is the best way to keep them safe until medical science has a better handle on the coronavirus."

Students should have continued to take online classes, as they did during lockdown, as the pandemic is raging worse than ever in America. It's not improved. It's gotten exponentially worse, as segments of the population are not adhering to medical and scientific guidelines.

Some have the view that kids are young and resilient and can therefore easily bounce back from the coronavirus. However, kids and adults need to avoid this virus. Don't go out there and "take it on the chin" as British Prime Minister, Boris Johnson so unwisely stated 5-months ago (several weeks before the virus nearly killed him and medical staff had to work round the clock to save his life via the NHS).

Any virus that can kill via respiratory failure is doing extraordinary damage to the lungs. Coronavirus is a lung disease. It is a plague. It is germ warfare. It attacks the lungs with the goal of destroying and shutting them down to cause a cessation of life.

Some suffered such extraordinary lung damage with coronavirus, they needed lung transplants. Then they must take long term medication to ensure the body does not reject the new lungs (anti-rejection medication). It is not an easy process. It is not a walk in the park. It is a big, painful deal, but thankfully it saves lives. However, the University of Maryland Medical Center states the "median survival after ling transplant is less than six years." Hence the use of immunosuppression drugs to help extend the life expectancy rate.

Doctors have discovered that coronavirus also does damage to the heart. Living with a heart problem is not easy. It can be downright distressing. You have to cut out caffeine (which is in many foods and sometimes not listed on nutritional labels) as it can cause arrhythmia and a heart attack (a healthy store manager in America had a fatal heart attack after consuming 4 energy drinks over the course of several hours during his shift at work). Heart health is important.

Coronavirus also causes neurological damage regarding the brain. This can lead to a host of medical problems such as intense thunderclap headaches, dizziness, forgetfulness and eventually dementia if the virus does enough damage to the system. 

Therefore, don't let anyone tell you to just go out and catch coronavirus to develop a resistance to it and get it over with, as it means long term damage to your body that is clearly visible on medical imaging tests. Researchers have found antibodies may only last 6-weeks to 3-months.

Coronavirus is not a hoax or fallacy. It is real. Medical professionals can see the damage the coronavirus does, via imaging scans of the affected organs. That is concrete proof via medicine and science. Do not take the virus lightly.

Practice proper social distancing. Wear a proper mask. Wash your hands regularly and use approved hand sanitizers. Get the proper amount of sleep every night. Brush your teeth everyday as it is essential to keep your mouth clean (excess germs weakens the immune system and is an easy entry point). Consume foods high in vitamin C (and take a vitamin C tablet everyday by a reputable brand) as that boosts the immune system.

That's another thing. I've been reading about people consuming bleach and selling forms thereof, such as sodium chlorite which turns into chlorine dioxide when consumed, as a cure to the coronavirus. You cannot drink bleach or inject it into your body in any manner as it will kill you.

The closest thing you will get to something that cleanses the system is to drink a cup of comfortably hot or warm water and squeeze the juice of a lemon or lime into it (100% pure lemon juice sold in a bottle is good too). Do this daily for its natural health benefits and boost to your immune system.

ONCE AGAIN, do not consume any household or industrial cleaning products, such as bleach, Pinesol, Lysol, Fabuloso, Mr. Clean or any other brand, as it is very dangerous and will kill you. Be very careful what you put into your body. Bleach is not meant to go into the human body. It is highly toxic and deadly in the human body.

In closing, one cannot wish the coronavirus away. One has to take decisive action against it. However, if only one part of the population is following medical guidelines and others are not, the virus will continue to spread and rage.

Nearly 100,000 children in U.S. tested positive for COVID-19 in last 2 weeks of July, report says

Posted: Aug 10, 2020 / 08:59 AM PDT / Updated: Aug 10, 2020 / 01:51 PM PDT - Just as thousands more students return to classrooms this week, another study shows how easily children can get coronavirus.

More than 97,000 children in the US tested positive for coronavirus in the last two weeks of July, according to a new report published by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association.

The researchers found a 40% increase in child coronavirus cases in the states and cities that were studied during those two weeks. The age range for children differed by state, with some defining children as only those up to age 14 and one state — Alabama — pushing the limit to 24.

At least 86 children have died as a result of the disease since May, according to the new report. Last week, a 7-year-old boy with no pre-existing conditions died from Covid-19 in Georgia. In Florida, two teenagers died earlier this month, marking the state’s sixth and seventh coronavirus deaths among children 17 and under.

Suspension Lifted of Georgia Student Who Posted Photos of Crowded Hall

Published Aug. 6, 2020 - Updated Aug. 12, 2020 - “The photo does not look good,” the district’s superintendent acknowledged in a letter to parents, but said wearing masks in school could not be mandated.

The widely circulated photo from North Paulding High School in Dallas, Ga., showed students crowded into a packed hallway on their first day back to classes since the coronavirus outbreak shuttered schools in the spring. Few were wearing masks, and there was little sign of social distancing. Then on Day 2, there was another.

The photos, which were shared on social media and cited in news reports, have quickly come to symbolize a chaotic first week back in U.S. classrooms. Schools in states where students have returned, including Georgia, Mississippi, Tennessee and Indiana, have had to initiate quarantines and in some cases shut down classrooms and entire schools temporarily after positive cases emerged.

A 15-year-old student at North Paulding, Hannah Watters, was initially suspended for five days for posting images of the crowded hallways on Twitter, according to her mother, Lynne Watters, who said she filed a grievance with the school on Thursday.

By Friday, Hannah said, her suspension had been lifted and wiped from her record, with the school’s principal calling her mother to tell her that she could return to class on Monday.

More than 2,000 students, teachers and staff quarantined in several schools

Updated 12:35 AM ET, Fri August 14, 2020 - (CNN) For many US schools welcoming students back, a return to in-person learning was abruptly halted after new Covid-19 cases. More than 2,000 students, teachers and staff members across five states have been quarantined after at least 230 positive coronavirus cases were reported.

It's a grim start to the school year many hoped could mark the beginning of a return to normalcy, but one experts have long warned would come at a cost. More studies have shown how easily children can get and spread coronavirus. But some pediatricians caution that distance-learning has negative consequences for primary-age students and for working families. The dilemma has forced school districts to navigate whether to re-open, and what to do if in-person learning proves dangerous.
