Not political? LA health chief says schools shouldn't re-open ‘until after the election'
2020-09-13
[World Tribune] The Left’s insistence that the coronavirus is not being politicized took a big hit when the Los Angeles County Public Health director said the county’s schools should not re-open for in-person classes "until after the election."

"We don’t realistically anticipate that we would be moving to either tier 2 or to re-opening K-12 schools at least until after the election, in early November," Dr. Barbara Ferrer was recorded saying in a conference call with school administrators and medical staff.

"When we look at the timing of everything, it seems to us a more realistic approach to this would be to think that we’re going to be where we are now until we are done with the election," Ferrer said.

The recording was played on KFI’s "John and Ken Show".

Ferrer’s comments led the radio show’s hosts to speculate about why she chose to use the General Election instead of some other day like Halloween, as a target date, and whether the county health department and schools were trying to manipulate public opinion in favor of the Democrats.

#4  Why not cite a specific date in November, such as November 15th?

#3  There is a slight chance it wasn't political, but that the Health Chief considers that such an important mile marker on the calendar that it instantly comes to mind.

True.

"after Halloween" = too macabre.
"after Columbus Day" = too rayciss.
"after Veterans Day" = see above

Of course the alternative is that she knows a red wave would indicate the gig is up and prolonging this will only result in the breaking of the Teacher's Union.
