A new report from the CDC finds 260 people, most of them children, tested positive for COVID-19 after attending a Georgia summer camp. Singing and cheering likely contributed to the spread and that only adults were required to wear masks.

Hundreds Test Positive For Coronavirus At Georgia Summer Camp | NBC Nightly News
Summer Camp during a Pandemic???!!!
Donald Trump is still pushing children to go to school even though eLearning can be available to all the children.
Yes.OK. Fifty percent got infected but what percent got sick? How deadly was this outbreak? Were any admitted to the hospital? Let us put our children in plastic bubbles – like that movie – to protect them from everything!
More people this year have died from malaria and dengue so far than from COVID-19 and more will die this year from these diseases than last year because of our irrational fear of this new virus and a misallocation of limited resources. I guess, however, those are poor, Brown people, diseases. How lucky for privileged White people in Northern metropoles to be able to work from home, and tutor their children online!
It reminds me of Dante’s Decameron where the privileged have the ability to sequester themselves away from plague-ridden Florence. It also reminds me of the Titanic and the privileges of first-class versus second and third. The chattering classes never like to share in life’s burdens!
As a person of color, I find that the response of privileged White people to COVID-19 has been selfish. It shows that despite liberal rhetoric many liberals, when confronted by a common threat, will throw their Brown brothers and sisters under the bus! I hear some shrill academics and intellectuals call COVID-19 racist; however, its the non-evidence-based response to the pandemic, as championed by the media, that is racist.
Some good will come of this. Now we know what can happen if kids attend school. We can’t turn a blind eye.
Dr Rashid Buttar says COVID-19 was made in a Lab & Dr Francis Boyle says COVID-19 is a Bioweapon. Read, This Is A Bio-Attack Alert, by Dr Robert B Strecker, who exposed the spread of AIDS, Cancers, BIOWEAPONS & other Diseases through Vaccinations Programs. Dr Strecker said, There Is No Proof Any Vaccines Cure Anything.
We have a Covid-19 outbreak, folks are dying, and your surprised that this happened!!
This got to be the most stupid idea Since January 31st!!
DUMB PEOPLE…..STAY HOME,WASH YO HANDS, KEEP THAT MASK ON,AND BE INSIDE YOUR OWN HOME, WITH YOUR OWN PEOPLE!!!!!! DON’T BE STUPID
I’m against some school gonna open next month this is big mistake and scary
If I understand this correctly the Trump administration wants to put the most irresponsible people on the planet together in large groups. Completely control students in a hour by hour with they have never been able to do!
MSM FEAR MONGERING.
What is the DEATH RATE?
Scare tactics.
Ppl fed up.
I don’t want my children to go back to school!!!!
Why would you test an entire camp with children? Makes no sense! Too many false-positives everywhere else to know if these are true!
We have proven our Godlessness within these past few months when we never did ask God to help us and save us from this pandemic and we never did appreciate His blessings upon us all these years therefore we surely deserve this punishment of pandemic since He is the creator of what we see and what we don’t see.
But the 24/7 riots are perfectly safe… yeah, right.
It is very sad that all the macho macho convervatives have no fight in them – we know how to fight the virus, and the effective mitigations such as wearing masks and staying home are exactly what Trump’s tough guy fans are refusing to do. They have no fight in them, they wanna just roll over, show their bellies, and let the virus win. Same with the prez.
CONGRESS NEED TO BE A ONE PARTY- NO ONE SENDING THEM MONEY
EVERYONE IS TO VOLUNTEERING TO BE IN PRISON- LET’S HERE FROM THE PEOPLE.
CAN WE GET INSURANCE POLICY-FOR THE VIRUS
344 Tested? wth not all are tested?
PLEASE SUE THIS PEOPLE FOR ENDANGERING PEOPLE!
The newest of the perversion!! Jared Kushner letting Democrats die!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_loQXpYFS3E
its one thing if adults choose to act irresponsibly and sadly catch the virus, but putting our children in harms way is stupid AF. 1 child’s death is 1 too many.
Is it me, or are the parents who send their kids to a camp with hundreds of other running, screaming children, in enclosed areas, just completely out of their minds? Was it worth it? Sounds very much like privilege is also ignorance in this case. I pray these children don’t have long lasting effects from Covid 19.
Why would you send your kids to summer camp during a pandemic?? This is not a hoax people…
So georgia extends the state’s health emergency while at the same time kemp is suing the mayor of Atlanta For making mask mandatory.
Look, kids cant wear masks while they are running around outside in the heat. Knock it off qfc

CLINICALLY NARCISSIST
WORLD EMBARRASSMENT
VOTE BIDEN MAIL-IN BALLOT
They should have made them stay there to quarantine instead of sending them back home into the communities to infect the most vulnerable.
these kids shouldn’t go near their grandparents
The 2020 TRUMP FLU is not a hoax.
From marsh mellows to concentration camp.Very wise to send your kids camping.Genius idea.
Australian RN: America, WTH is wrong with you all?!? Do you know what happened every time I lost a child on my watch as an RN in non-COVID times? I have nightmares 30 years later because I couldn’t help save those children!! PTSD is real among doctors and nurses who are put in a situation where we can’t do our jobs and save lives, on the daily.
This is at a summer camp with outdoor activities, just imagine how worse schools will be.
This is a direct reflection of what will happen if schools completely open this fall.
Mostly children you say? And only the staff were the ones required to wear mask? Kind of sounds like sending children back to school is a bad idea and mask actually do work 😲
This seems planed
Fill in the word!!!!!! PLAY STUPID GAMES, WIN ________ PRIZES.
And Democrats still in denial that protests contributed to crazy surge in July.
It may have but what’s the point of arguing that now? That was in May.
School isn’t a daycare center. If kids need to be watched hire a babysitter, open daycare centers, or ask work if your child could stay with you at work.
The problem with kids getting infected is that they will bring home this infection to their family and loved ones. The most vulnerable family members will be the elderly, overweight, diabetic and others with most chronic illness. Americans just have to learn it is not only about himself or herself but really about OURSELVES. Caring for others. Somehow this is not in the DNA in some of this ‘freedom’ or liberty loving folks.
I dont owe anybody anymore thanks to, *p a i d t o b e h o m e .c o m*
Just shut down EVERYTHING down and stay at home. Common sense 2 the rules so nobody will die. Yea here comes the regrets. Should of thought twice be reopening places
Now this is sad😪
What about schools that are in climates that will not allow the opening of windows in the winter??
🌞
Christ
Let’s learn from this!
Just wait till schools open.
So, how many people on the radio, television and social media are full of it and should never be listened to for any reason whatsoever?
How many lives have to perish before you ppl remove the killer’s from office!? America the land of the free to do what ever you want and so brave that you all just stand and watch as your kids are getting infected!? The rest of the world has been trying its best to tell you that the virus also kills kids and its already to late as some of your kids with undiscovered health problems will die now. The Trump administrations knew that all too well as did the rest of the civilized world that is trying to get you people to understand what you need to do. My hardt breaks for you all!
prove it please
Prove what? 1 staff member tested positive and spread it to everyone else. Everyone had to test negative before starting camp.
Anyone who played part in running that camp should face felony charges for knowingly infecting those kids
I blame the parents for exposing their children to covid who would send their kids to a summer camp, knowing that there is a virus.
Why I refuse to enter my f2f classroom.
Was there any real doubt that this could’ve happened?
Unfortunately, so many deniers.
I only send my ex-wife to school this fall.
When they return home and infect their families, who will their families infect?
Everyone else in the community. That’s why school openings will contribute to community spread.
Yea open them schools back
So are all the parents now infected?
Most likely. If they spread it to other children and staff, why wouldn’t their parents get it? Viral load in infected children is 10-100 x higher than in adults.
@bpxl53yewz right..
I was just wondering if the health department had some sort of plan instead of sending the kids home and letting the infection triple.
Fear monger media
Now report on Bill Clinton and the Boston Bomber
Why are Anti-science republicans so dam stupid?
Why would you send your kids to a camp at this time??????????
Out of 260 who tested positive, 231 were children 17 yrs or younger. The group with the highest infection was age 6-10. They say the numbers are higher since all results weren’t available. The lie needs to stop that children aren’t transmitters.
Not smart..
Covid scare tactics from the left and media. Scam of the century.
Safety first!! I don’t care about my kids education right now !!!! my kids stay home!
TRUMP 2020!!!!
WAKE UP SHEEP!!!!
Wake up sheep!!!! https://youtu.be/1Atxt_2Kxoc
Fake news
You are going to put your kids at risk for what?
Scary stuff at this point all you can do is pray.
Stop so called testing and you will end the pandemic! Positive test kits will give you positive results! Some of us see exactly what your doing.
What they won’t tell you is that this isn’t a flu virus, but a ccp weaponized virus.
This is all about politics
Why are people so stupid and going to get tested even when they don’t have too?
What will it take before all the idiots listen and wear a mask?
NO SCHOOL DURING A PANDEMIC YOU DUMB IDIOTS.
DUMP THE TRUMP
The coronavirus does not exist. It’s not proven to exist. Period. Send me a scientific journal that proves it’s been identified. Please! This is a lie.
I wonder if they all had to sign Covid death wavers, like the schools want to do..
Disaster
Trump said kids have big-ly tremendous and terrific immune system.
I wonder how many would have tested positive at Bohemian Grove? 🤔
Cdc is evil including who
Covid 19 is a scam. No where as bad as flu, I can’t take the political agenda
a summer camp can get it that proves that it is going to spread like wildfire in schools.
Prayers for this camp ground dear Jesusu watch over this camping grounds, amen.
The AGOLF TWITLER virus that was made in China and AGOLF TWITLER bought wants you to believe it will all disappear.
This is a taste of what opening schools up too early would be like.
Opinion should never supersede science!

Stay safe everyone during these hard times!!!🙏🏼❤️
And they wanna open schools
Someone had the flu COVID – 19 virus or many children caught in the woods
Is this news? Of course it was going to happen! Even I knew it. So now there’ no doubt that kids can get it too. What an idiotic thing to organize and idiotic parents to send their kids there, just to get rid of them for awhile! We already new, based on church choirs, that singing and talking loudly spreads the virus. I would never send my kids to such places!! Yeah, let’s open schools now…
I am thankful that I had smart parents growing up who protected me. Feel bad for kids of ignorant parents.
You must be stupid to send your kids to summer camp during a pandemic. Same will happen in schools.
