LAURA INGRAHAM (HOST): Okay. That's one of my favorite moments of the day. They ran out of teachers, okay. Or parents, reporters, experts, doctors. But of course Biden's big allies, the teachers union, they paid no attention to the doctors or that extensive German study I just talked about. They want their members to stay home and totally ignore what we know about kids exceedingly low in activity rates. They ignore the horrific mental and physical health consequences from keeping kids away from school as well. We said this last night, I'm going to repeat it. It's very important. These teachers, just like police and firefighters, they are essential employees. Their salaries are paid by you, the taxpayers. Yet, many are refusing to return to work. Now this is not to say that there are no risks of returning to schools. There are, there may be. The CDC issued its final report for the 20192020 season. Tragically, 166 children died of the flu nationwide. But schools didn't close, did they? Teachers did not refuse to work. By contrast, the number of children who have died nationwide of covid is 30. According to CDC data. Every life lost as a horrific tragedy, that goes without saying. California, where teachers unions are pushing to keep their kids at home, do you see it? Zero.
