More than 470 Covid cases and 1,000 quarantined after the first week of school in a Florida county

Just days after fall classes started for Florida's Brevard Public Schools and after the school board voted against a mask requirement, there are more than 470 Covid-19 cases among students and teachers and roughly 1,060 people are in quarantine, according to the latest data from the district.

Of the 473 positive cases, roughly 385 are students and 88 are employees, the data shows. The cases are distributed across more than 50 elementary, middle and high schools and account for less than 1% of the district's total student population, which is around 73,000. Classes began on Tuesday.

Really wow you don't say that's what they wanted.

Orange Man Bad, I mean Florida Governor Bad........ Same song same tune.

Keep up the bad work

Huh? Dang!

Not suprised

Don't ya just wanna say I told you!

Ron your doing a great job by killing your own people

There's no test for covid, how in fuck are they deriving at these numbers?The PCR test is inaccurate because it was not designed by Kary Mullis for detecting a virus

You can thank the no mandate mask AH parents and DeSantis for this death trap school district! Don’t worry since your Gov. has no conscience being a sociopath and caring only for himself, he’ll sleep at night! But many parents won’t when their kids die💀

Covid will be with us for many yrs. Im not going to wear a mask for rhe next 5 yrs. People are going to get infected and many will die. Life will go on.

RoundRockISD you ready for this?

Since Florida has no official account who is reporting these numbers?

Well now we see how not being careful looks like...

Really And this surprises WHO?

Covid should be renamed “DeSantis”

it's a lab leaked virus and Fauci can't be found anywhere when needed to answer questions!! Why are you all even trusting him its jus ridiculous 🙄

A good read on blanket policies and why they’re unnecessary and even harmful. NaturalImmunity LowRisk ProtectChildren

Schools will not have teachers just like hospital staff shortages because of law against mandates. No teachers no school for you. DeSantis does not care. Parents fault.

How could we have possibly predicted or stopped this 😐

Fake report. They doubled the amount of cases. They are trying to sabotage DeSantis

Okay. If it's days after, and it takes a while for the virus to evidence, rational people have to assume they had it when they came to school. The problem lies in the community not having safe practices. And we know where that responsibility lies.

Hummmm weren’t they warned about this?

Well I live in a district that has a mask mandate and school about that size and low and behold it’s just about the same if not worse! 🤷‍♂️

GovRonDeSantis LOL better get those mobile units dispatched

Wow! 💔

Be nice if California was included in your headlines so it didn’t look so much like you guys just wanted to make Desantis look badD at least make it look like you don’t work for the Man.

It didn’t have to be this way.

UNNECESSARY CASES , DON’T SANTIS MY FLORIDA

It was gonna happen for sure!GovRonDeSantis 😡👀👀

Just not sure why people don’t use science instead of emotion……? Lives could be spared! One life lost is one life too many!!

This is insane and we are not even into the worst months of covid yet.

Over 800 Florida doctors rip 'reckless' COVID response from Ron DeSantis'Health care providers feel we are fighting this fire without any leadership from Gov. Ron DeSantis,' the physicians warned. His actions embodies the ideals of American values. He is the Republican gold standard of American leadership as opposed to the Democrat's Coumo & the soon to be recalled CA Governor. They embody Biden's European character of leadership — that which America's Founders rejected! Time for criminal endangerment charges. Activily and wantonly preventing people from protecting themselves is a perverse and dangerous act that should be met with the full force of the law. It is akin to knowingly, purposely, and personally infecting people. DeSantis is proving his incompetence in handling these life and death situations. Like Trump he acts on personal biases not on applying logical thought of what’s best for the safety of his constituents, the people. In this case, the children’s safety!

3 Broward County, Florida, educators died within about 24 hours from Covid-19 complicationsThe week before classes begin, three educators in Broward County, Florida, have died within about 24 hours of each other from Covid-19 related complications, local education officials said. An earlier version of this story mischaracterized one of the four people who died based on information from the Broward Teachers Union. Three were teaching staff. How many of the people in that state still REFUSE to accept covid exists 🤔🤨🤨🤨 So, the DeSantis plan is working.
