The report comes when unemployed Americans are fine without the $600 in additional weekly federal benefits that started the pandemic and ended in July.

While the coronavirus pandemic still affects local communities, teachers are forced to think of much more than their lesson plans— their own mortality. Teachers across the country are writing their wills as part of preparing for the new school year. Some march to cemeteries in protest. Others invite officials to their next funeral services.
“There’s a massive increase, like, a thousand percent,” said Teddy Rivera, a teacher’s union attorney in Jacksonville, Florida. “Literally, all I do now are wills, wills, wills.”

Florida will begin offering coronavirus controls for Disney World cast members this week, ending a nearly two-month dispute with a union representing the park’s actors. According to Disney, the verification site will be controlled through the Florida Emergency Management Division and will be located on Disney’s property, but not in the park. Checks will be given to Disney workers and visitors, as well as Florida residents.
According to Kate Shindle, chairwoman of the Actors’ Equity Association, the union signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Disney to allow many actors to return to work. The union began lobbying Disney World to offer evidence to its members last June, before the park reopened in July.

The Public Agenda /USA TODAY/Ipsos vote also highlights a developing gap between Trump’s radical immigration policies and the priorities of Republicans, who are primarily many of the immigration policies the president has tried to dismantle.
As the coronavirus continues to spread throughout the U.S., a large majority of Republicans (81%), a plurality of Democrats (49%) and a majority of independents (62%) said the U.S. government has done right by temporarily enacting immigration restrictions in an effort to slow the spread of the pandemic. The national survey was conducted in May, after the president issued travel restrictions against China, Europe, Mexico and Canada.
Seattle public schools will start the school year remotely, but the district superintendent will explore classroom creation, the Seattle Times reported. Most of the main points on how learning works for the district’s 50,000 academics are being denied between the teachers union and the district. With about 3 weeks until the school year begins, much more needs to be done.
“Gathering those plans before the collective bargaining is over results in putting the cart before the horse,” said Leslie Harris, a school board member.
While it’s certain that the new school year will lead to a new epidemic, doctors say it’s out of the realm of possibility. Experts urge parents who have not received scheduled vaccinations for their children to call their doctor and implement a recovery plan.
