Sen. Marco Rubio says the costs of not reopening schools in Florida are 'extraordinary'

For those areas, "I think we are going to have to take additional measures to be able reopen schools and I think we need to be flexible about all sorts of things," Rubio said.

"It isn't going to be school the way we're used to in normal times, but at some point you have to make those decisions on the basis of a cost-benefit analysis: What are the costs of not reopening schools, what are the benefits with regard to the virus for not opening schools," Rubio said. "And I think in the short and long term the costs are extraordinary.""I have no doubt we can do this safely," DeSantis said at a press conference Thursday, CNN.

The cost of opening schools WILL be more than extraordinary

You know what ? Because his family are all safe,so he doesn’t care about other people’s life.then ha can get money from the rich men ,great business!

Of course the cost of not opening schools is extraordinary thats the whole point of this horrible pandemic schools business and people suffering or going broke . Why the disconnect, someone please lead us in the right direction.

Shame on republican leaders still reacting the pandemic as a political level; rather than people level. Their priority to be in line with President no matter how he is wrong on his actions. People vs Trump

The United States has become the worst country to deal with the epidemic, and shameless politicians are destroying the health of American people!

Yes to you and your senate seat

I would prefer the truth. The cost of your states prior arrogance and stupidity is extraordinary. Remember, even the truth, without context, is a lie.

shutdowntrump

M-m-m-m...

marcorubio Fix Florida education level first and then lecture the country

Don’t trust this guy. He’s a Trump enabler. He’s equally responsible for this shit hole we’re in. Florida

135,000 students didn't die of starvation 135,000 didn't die of abuse 135,000 people didn't die from overdoses or suicide 135,000 and growing did die of the coronavirus

I've been searching to understand the rationale around reopening schools so urgently, and it clear that's it's more about getting the parents back to work than anything.

Lol. These people are jokes. Daddy Trump told him what to say, and he is repeating it

Open safely, test, social distance. Both Health and economy are important. Without health, without economy. If using education, monitor closely to make sure of quality. Teachers in union are really taking responsibility nowadays?

The cost of keeping him in office will be extraordinary

BREAKING: Florida's coronavirus cases jump by 12,624, one of the state's highest daily totals. Florida currently has 47 hospitals with no available ICU beds and 25 hospitals with just one available ICU bed, officials say.

Send him to Cuba.

Fuck your costs .... WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE/ CHILDREN’s LIVES

How much does a life cost Marco?

Then pay those costs mfer don't send teachers in to slaughter

Where’s the plan and where’s the money to pay for your constituents “extraordinary education”? Yes let’s PAY FOR EDUCATION, not punish.

Cost of opening. Uh. Way higher.

Idiot. The costs of opening are much,much higher before the virus is controlled & infections dropping! You need to be replaced by someone with a heart & soul!

15k cases in Florida and you want the kids physical schooling?.

If they're just reopening the Communist re-education camps then let them stay closed. We don't need another generation of 'peaceful' murdering protesters.

marcorubio Simple plan. Take the plan to open schools, 2 weeks prior use that to open the still closed to the public Senate, White House and FL Governor's office. It will be a great test of the plan without threatening our children. Cool?

But what is the cost of a human life worth?

You need to listen marcorubio to Dr. King bruh: 'Nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious Stupidity .'--Martin Luther King Jr. This is you LittleMarco!!!!! as in relation to your brain size of antiscience

Let’s make Rubio a 7th grade teacher in Dade county

One child's life

He’s a puppet.

Sounds like Rubio graduated from the same institution as Betsy DeVos. No entrance requirements needed.

The man is a fool who is a trump feckless stooge who ignores science to support the cult leader broke ass con man who’s ashamed to revealhis income tax returns because he’s bbrole and lives off credit

you can thank the Governor De Santos and his criminal leader Trump. Trump FAILED on covid19. De Santos is deplorable

As Florida learns the costs of shutting down Bars, stores and Restaurants.... for a second time. yeah, but schools...

Did Marco spend the weekend developing an opening strategy with Senate leadership, Trump and team? Or is Devos's no plan plan the proper course of action? marcorubio

Dude worry about the death rate first

Seems like all the Republicans only care about one thing. And, it's not you.

The understatement of the year.

And, as we know, economics is what's driving this decision for Republicans nationwide. They're freaking out about Trump's reelection campaign and think they can right the ship before November. Forcing kids to risk their lives won't right the floundering and failing Trump ship.

The 'village idiot' continues to not have anything positive to offer....

Senator Worthless at it again...

Rubio is KochNetwork & CouncilForNationalPolicy member. The MSM portrays them as typical conservatives...but, they are far from it. Everyone should read these! - Nelson's 'Shadow Network' - Sharlet's 'The Family' - MacLean's 'Democracy in Chains'

No marcorubio , the cost of opening schools in Florida are deadly!

Thank you Captain Obvious...how about a plan to execute it safely for students, educators, and administrators?

lol , bullish , finish the game with corona

The virus is making him look extraordinarily stupid. Parents aren't interested in costs, they have to believe it's safe or the kids are not coming.

POS !

I seriously doubt that all the teachers will stick around if you do try to reopen. Certainly in the growing number of areas with hospitals at capacity I suspect that anyone with other risk factors will sit this out.

All about money and not lives huh, marcorubio? Maybe it’s time you are voted out.

How the hell does he figure? You can learn anything anywhere. It is called the internet. It is 2020, not 1920.

Marco should volunteer to reach for a couple months

The cost of a dead child is immeasurable to the family that was forced to send their child because this country is a shitfest that doesn’t have viable child care options.

Radical Christians and fascist going to get everyone dead

Once again the GOP focuses on monetary value instead of human value. Our kids' lives & safety are more important than money.

And the cost of opening are worst!

By cost he means $$$

For elementary and secondary schools, of course. But for colleges, they'll save on athlete salaries in football and basketball. ;)
