Children and staff at a Georgia overnight camp test positive for COVID-19 after the camp did not require campers to wear face masks, the CDC says.

Days later, on June 23, a teenage staff member left after developing chills and later tested positive for the coronavirus. The camp began to send people home the following day and alerted the state's Department of Public Health.

"Settings, like multi-day, overnight summer camps, pose a unique challenge when it comes to preventing the spread of infectious diseases, considering the amount of time campers and staff members spend in close proximity," the CDC said in a press release. According to the CDC, the camp had everyone submit documentation that they had tested negative for the virus, but did not require campers to wear face masks. Only staff members had to wear masks.

Soon people will wise up and start carry protest signs everywhere they go.

My fearless leader told them that children cannot catch the virus. AND THEY BELIEVED HIM. Who is to blame? The children? The parents? The camp? My fearless leader? Me?

Those group banjo lessons will do that.

shocking.

Tooda What the fuck is wrong with you people? Jesus Christ!

But according to realDonaldTrump children are almost immune to this virus.

Are we sure that we are ready to send children back to school?

No masks? Really?

Lol....It’s pretty easy. Wear a 😷

What the hell is wrong with people ? What don't they understand that wearing a mask is helpful

Wake up ☺️ citizens of America!!!!! Can you see that because of non action on the wearing of masks every body every one can die. Wake up!!!!

They should’ve identified as rioters

Now they're just being ignorant on purpose. An overnight camp is the last thing to be doing during a pandemic.

So forcing kids to go to school is a great idea? Republicans are horrible.

There are no words for this stupidity.

God help

The camp staff 20/30 year olds... going to bars n things... asymptotic.. got the kids +.

Pay close attention to the word 'after'. It means they have absolutely no evidence a caused b. They would not have used 'after' otherwise.

Same thing over and over again. When will they get it.

I thought the GOP said children should Go back to because they don’t get sick from the trump virus?

This virus has zero chill for idiots. 😂😂🤣🤣

And they will still blame something or someone else. Facts, truth, common sense doesn't matter to people that are addicted to being fed lies and falsehood.

Sure and tomorrow cows and monkeys and elephants

Isn't funny that protestors looters rioters Are Never Reported to have contracted the china virus by fake news. Just asking for a friend.

Now do riots.

why don’t you investigate wether the COVID tests can differentiate from the common cold, I’ll wait......

Kemp is an imbecile Trump says kids can’t get virus, remember and if so they get over it fast

Schools should not open

These children survived planned parenthood abortions. They’ll survive this and the flu outbreak this winter.

Man, such a sneaky virus. Kids have been pretty much immune up until now. Weird, school is about to start back up....coincidence 🤔

They will all survive

From the article, 'Among the children and staff who were tested for the virus, 260 came back positive, with 231 of them aged 17 or younger.' Great job, Gov. Kemp. And what were those parents thinking?

face masks won't save anyone. This is so stupid

People are going to get. What’s so hard about that to comprehend? It’s not just going away bc we stay inside, or wear masks. It needs to run its course among the least vulnerable. HerdImmunity is the key

HEADLINE CORRECTION: Georgia camp follows the science that says children are not at risk (flu is 5-10x worse), college counselors are super low risk (same as flu) and masks are prove to not be effective in reducing transmission of respiratory viruses. FollowTheScience

Parents' fault for sending them

How many are in the hospital with a ventilator? How many are going to be fine?

Most camps decided to close for this exact reason..

The parents should be charged with child abuse.

How many stories will NBC run about the Coronavirus? Will they ever mention Bill Clinton’s trips to Pedo-Island?

Charge the parents. No excuses.

You realize how many camps are going on now? NBC News dumbs it down and people take the bait. They'd take it anyway because they don't want the virus to go away before election day.

One camp...

Some people are just simply stupid and if theparents leave the children in a overnight camp with no masks what they expect will happen. They children will get the Covid , they will go home and infect Parents and Grandparents. What a world full of Morons , please wear a mask

When will people get it? Guess we'll have to kill off a whole bunch more folk, or at the very least, make them ill. So ill, in fact, that they may have lifelong health issues. Stuff that in your fucking pipe and smoke it, imbeciles. Get a clue.

Every positive case continues to hurt the economy.

I have to wonder about these tests. Did they come from China?

2020NYGIANTS Idiots!

Why couldn't Trump attend this children's camp?

Clinton... Epstein...

Lets send the Kids back to school though right? It’ll all work out fine. It’ll just disappear like Magic.

That's what the parents sent them to camp for, the infamous herd immunity. The kids should be taken away from them.

This is just stupid... folks 1+1 = 2 OR A+B = C (oronavirus)!

Parents, why did you send them. Parents, why didn't you tell your kids to wear a mask. Sure sounds like a parenting problem.

LOL—it was because they weren’t wearing masks 😂😂🤦🏻‍♂️

“Among the children and staff who were tested for the virus, 260 came back positive, with 231 of them aged 17 or younger.” ⚠️ “congregate settings” : COVIDOversight

LIES! AND MORE LIES!

These people... no whinnying you knew the consequences

Prelude to back to school.

Back to schools, anyone? COVID19 SchoolReopening?

Kemp at his finest !!!

Opening schools is going to be a disaster.

No surprise!

Shocking. Not.
