17 employees have died from Covid in a Florida school district since August

Seventeen employees in a Florida school district have died from Covid-19 since the beginning of the school year in August, officials said Wednesday.

Of the staff who died at the Polk County Public Schools, 12 of the 17 had returned to their jobs when the school year began on Aug. 10, said Kyle Kennedy, a district spokesman. The remaining five employees never reported to their jobs this school year.“The pandemic continues to severely impact our community, and many public servants - including educators, healthcare staff, rescue workers and law enforcement officers - are experiencing tragic losses," the district said in a statement.

"Every death is a devastating blow to our community and reinforces the need for all people to continue taking precautions to reduce the spread of illness.” Polk County is in central Florida, between Tampa and Orlando, and includes the cities of Lakeland and Winter Haven. Its school system is among the 30 largest in the country and serves about 106,000 students,

Wonder if they were vaccinated?

Well after all death is no big deal. Stop exaggerating./s

How many were vaxxed? Left that detail out…. I’m guessing all of them.

Polk County,Florida is a godawful deep red county that is paying the price for thumbing its nose at science efforts to put more effective preventative measures in place. Think Deathsantis as another huge problem for the state.

'But there's a worker shortage'... No shit. 17 staff members will create a massive vacuum.

The fault of the dictaitor RonDeSantisFL GovRonDeSantis

check this one

And all the liberals believe it

Why do I keep seeing this same story reposted by racist nbc over the past week Is there political motivation? No, they are apolitical and neutral for sure. 🤣

Dr. Luc Montagnier reveals how Covid-19 is a lab accident He was awarded the 2008 Nobel Prize in Medicine for the identification AIDS.He currently works at University in China The Wuhan city lab has specialized in coronaviruses since the early 2000s

Given Florida’s Governor’s anti mask anti vaccine stance, it is only a matter of time before more educators die in their schools. Desantis - putting the “duh” in Florida.

Prayers for those families impacted by covid deaths!!!

Sad. I wonder the rest of the employees status. Maybe there is a lesson to learn from other employees…

20 have have died in Tennessee. Why are you not saying anything about that.

Zero in San Francisco. Just saying.

So sad, and unfortunately could have been avoided had Gov DeathSantis done his job protecting the residents of Florida during an immense public health crisis.

FrackHazReveal You should broadcast their funerals.

And GovRonDeSantis responds: ‘Only 17?!?’

It’s disgraceful. All because of a governor politicizing a virus. Think about the loved ones who have to live with the loss every single day

17 out of 14,000 is only being reported because the district is so large they were guaranteed to have covid deaths. NBC just wants you to think this will happen to 17 teachers in your school of 500

How many of the deceased were vaccinated? My guess would be that they all were since they are teachers and they wanted vaccines before returning to the classroom.

GovRonDeSantis be like...

😱

Do you think Florida cares?

12/14,000 come on stop misleading everyone and no proof any of them contracted it while working

Nonsense.

RonDeSantisFL care to comment.

So it’s 12 not 17 Why do you have to be misleading

So the vaccinations don't work then?

Vaccine hesitancy in pregnant people drives rise in Covid hospitalizationsPregnant people who develop Covid-19 symptoms risk emergency complications and other problems with their pregnancies, studies say. Despite the risks, pregnant people remain some of the most vaccine-hesitant populations in the US, according to the CDC. What a terrible news network I blame doctors tbh. When your pregnant they don't even let you eat freaking deli meat. The paranoia has become overblown that it's causing a severe negative impact now with a new vaccine. Plandemic Addicts! Ya'll need a big rehab.
