Casualties of reopening schools: Children dying from COVID-19
www.wsws.org
Amid a surge of COVID-19 cases throughout the United States, hundreds of children have lost their lives to the disease.

Can't wait for the narrative to be that "it was only a few kids" and not "perhaps we shouldn't have abruptly reopened schools"

      That baby cease fire scene hits harder the more time passes and the more I see how the current world is

      I can't even watch it without having to hold back actual tears anymore and I have a heart of stone

        I highly recommend it. It’s definitely a lot of doom and gloom, but it’s also full of hope and care.

        I don't recall anything unusually graphic or disturbing about it, and although it's fairly bleak throughout, it's not all bleak (compared to, say, some Cold War-era "what if we launched the nukes?" movies). There are a couple brief shots that specifically evoke Abu Ghraib torture, but it's only in passing. Nothing as direct as what's in Zero Dark Thirty, for instance, which itself is pretty far from torture porn/body horror stuff like Hostel or Saw.

        Not a light movie, but definitely recommended.
