While they’re jumping around outside at recess, with masks off, the coronavirus may also be happily jumping around — from one kid to another, I’m afraid.
The schedule the school district came up with for the first six weeks made very little sense to me when I saw it, although I think I understand the concept a little better after talking with a district spokesman about it. But it still seems more risky than what Greenville

PICKENS —The United Way’s 211 system provides a mechanism to reach out and get help for residents — particularly those who have been isolated due to COVID-19.
