Pennsylvania middle school apologizes after photo of a teacher taping a mask to a student's face sparks outrage

The picture was taken at Pennfield Middle School in Hatfield and was shared earlier this week on the Facebook page "North Penn Stronger Together."

"Pro-mask or anti-mask, I hope we can all agree that taping masks to children's faces crosses the LINE. It was not a joke for the child or the parents," the post said.

Video report from Sky News about Covid in South Africa, and concerns about new variants emerging there due to untreated HIV patients becoming infected with Sars-CoV-2. There is also an article on the same subject, linked below.

@MimosaMornings a quote from your article regarding Louisiana:

Mr. Trahan, who has lost a cousin to the pandemic and contracted COVID-19 himself during the second wave, said he takes ivermectin weekly. Using a preparation intended for cattle, he initially drank it mixed with chocolate milk. He now applies it topically to his shoulders and legs.

Okay, now this I absolutely do not understand. Putting aside for a moment that Ivermectin's benefits are inconclusive, this guy APPLIES IT TOPICALLY TO HIS SHOULDERS AND LEGS???????

What could he be thinking? Does he think Covid is a mosquito or tick-borne illness that penetrates the skin? Someone please explain to me.

I think he must be getting some VERY bad advice from somewhere. Otherwise, I've got nothing................

@Arkay there is a pour-on cattle formulation of ivermectin, so it can be absorbed through the skin. Obviously, NOT intended for human use!!!

Well, if he was supposed to be wearing it and didn't....I don't see where it is hurting the kid. My optometrist taped masks near the beginning of the pandemic so that air didn't leak around them--on patients as well as himself. I had no issue with it.

Right but those are adults. Should ask the parent before using tape on a kid's face. My guess? Parent would say no.

I feel really sorry for the teachers (all of them) who want to teach but have to deal with "optional masks".

It seems that they have to either leave their profession - which is a loss to us all - or deal with slipping masks and/or rebellious people, as well as try to teach the children.


"The photo sparked outrage among parents and quickly went viral, appearing on the website of Fox News host Sean Hannity. It was also tweeted by the former candidate for Florida's 3rd Congressional District, Chuck Callesto."

That's encouraging news! It sounds like the drug may help. I hope the study shows that it does.

Those would be the people concerned about vaccine safety. Applying drug that can cause major damage apparently is of no concern to them. Go figure.

I think the.medical establishment is desperate to find a way to minimize hospitalizations.

Yep. Unfortunately, Pfizer pills and monoclonal antibodies (the kind that actually work against Omicron) are in short supply.

Man blew in school nurse’s face after child sent home to quarantine, Georgetown cops say

AES parent, who was arrested, denies blowing at the school nurse as alleged

The father of a 5-year-old Andrews Elementary School student said he has been falsely accused of blowing on a school nurse. It allegedly happened when he was questioning why his daughter – and not other students – was being sent home because of Covid 19.

The nurse was walking away when the parent asked why his child had to be quarantined and not another child.

The man called the nurse “crazy” and said she didn’t know what she was doing and that “all this was b******t,” the incident report states.

Newton then asked the nurse what would happen if an employee came into close contact with a person that has COVID. She explained that the same quarantine guidelines applied to staff.

Newton then stood up, stepped closer to her, and “blew with his mouth in front of her and said, “Now you go quarantine,” the nurse told police, according to Georgetown County Sheriff’s Office records.

The nurse responded that she had a mask on and that was not necessary, and said she did not have time for this. He replied, “Well neither do I” and walked out the door with his children.

According to the incident report, Newton then posted a status on Facebook referencing the incident.

“The nurse at Andrews Elementary School has been in close contact with someone that is covid positive. Think she will quarantine?” the incident report states.

My problem with even thinking about trying invermectin is that I had horses for years and used this to deworm them! We're talking 1200 pound plus livestock. Nobody weighs 1200 pounds. How can they even figure out ho I w much to take? It comes in a tube with a plunger!

Maybe they're looking up the human dosage?

Ivermectin can cause retinal damage in humans, well, animals too, but it's dosed for animals. Are people so desperate that they are willing to give up their eyesight?

It's not always dosed for animals. I have no opinion, just linking this:

That’s because the government tells them to get vaxxed and tells them not to use ivermectin. For many, opposition is “what it’s all about,” not logic. When people have decided that they will not trust the government under any circumstances, this is what results. It makes about as much sense as the hokey pokey… “and that’s what it’s all about.”
