In a victory for teachers’ unions, a Florida ruling overturned a state ordinance that required schools to reopen for in-person teaching.
A circuit court ruled Monday that Florida’s requirement that school districts open their study rooms for face-to-face instruction was unconstitutional because it “arbitrarily ignores safety” and denies local school forums the opportunity for students to deserve to return to school. .
The resolution was a victory for the American Federation of Teachers, the largest teachers’ union of the time in the country, and one of its affiliates, the Florida Education Association. Unions sued Gov. Ron DeSantis and Education Commissioner Richard Corcoran for order last month at the country’s first such trial.
The ordinance required school districts to give students the opportunity to return to user school until August 31, or threatened to waste critical state funds. An exception was made only for Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, which have been most affected by the coronavirus and plan to start the school year online.
“Districts don’t have a meaningful alternative,” Leon County Circuit Court Judge Charles W. Dodson wrote about the rest of the school districts. “If an individual school district chooses, that is, delaying the start of schools until it separately determines that it will do so for your county, you run the risk of wasting state funds, even if each student receives an education.”
In order to have a federal moratorium, legal aid attorneys say they must protect tenants in housing court.
The fourth-month moratorium under careS Act, followed by a 30-day completion period, provided coverage to approximately 12 million tenants living on eligible properties. In addition, local moratoriums in some states have housing tenants not covered by federal law.
For tenants, especially those with limited resources, having an attorney can mean the difference between being evicted or being able to stay in a rented home. However, legal representation of tenants is rare in housing courts. Surveys conducted in several primary cities over the years have shown that in housing court, landlords are represented through lawyers at least 80% of the time, while tenants tend to have lawyers in less than 10% of cases.
This asymmetric playground is about to become a more target in the coming months, and the recent presidential decree on tenant assistance also does not offer much immediate hope for others about to lose their homes. The order instructs federal agencies to read about what they can do with the government or existing budgets.
“Tenants have the ability to form themselves, and the eviction court puts them on an uneven playing field that allows homeowners to violate their rights,” said Ellie Pepper of the National Housing Resource Center, which focuses on housing policy and investment issues.
The call for legal assistance for housing disorders is expanding in states where local moratoriums on rents not covered by CARES have already ended. In the Atlanta area, legal aid attorneys say calls to deal with personal landlords are 25% higher than they did two months ago.
“Our workload hasn’t skyrocketed yet because the courts are only hearing pending instances before the pandemic occurred,” said Lindsey Siegel, an attorney at Atlanta Legal Aid. “But it happens.”
Researchers in Hong Kong report the first demonstrated case of coronavirus reinfection.
“A supposedly young and healthy patient had a momentary case of Covid-19 infection that was diagnosed 4.5 months after the first episode,” researchers at the University of Hong Kong said on a Monday.
The report is scary because it suggests that coronavirus immunity would possibly last only a few months in some people. And this has implications for vaccines that are being developed for the virus.
The 33-year-old had only mild symptoms the first time, and this time he showed no symptoms. Reinfection was discovered on his return from Spain, the researchers said, and the virus they sequenced largely coincided with the strain circulating in Europe in July and August.
“Our effects show that your infection at the moment is caused by a new virus that you recently acquired from extended viral excretion,” said Dr. Kelvin Kai-Wang To, a clinical microbiologist at the University of Hong Kong.
Since there are millions of cases around the world, it’s no wonder that a few or more people can become infected with the virus again after just a few months, mavens said.
Doctors have reported several cases of suspected reinfection in the United States and elsewhere, but none of these cases have been demonstrated by rigorous testing. Other recovered people are known to lose viral fragments for weeks, which can lead to tests testing to test positive in the absence of live viruses.
But Hong Kong researchers sequenced the virus from either of the infection cycles and discovered differences in both sets of viruses, suggesting that the patient had become inflamed for a moment.
Common bloodless coronaviruses are known to cause reinfections in less than a year, however, experts expected the new coronavirus to behave more like its SARS and MERS cousins, who gave the impression of producing longer-lasting immunity in a few years.
