School Closures - Leslyn Lewis

'Huge Impact' on Kids, Families If Schools Don't Open

School districts across the country have had all summer to come up with plans to safely reopen schools, and there will be a "huge impact" on children and their parents alike if that doesn't happen, but Democrats want to keep everything closed, Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel said Wednesday.

"I think the president has been very clear that he is going to put the health and safety of kids first and foremost, but recognizing that we can balance that with starting school," McDaniel said on Fox News' "Outnumbered Overtime." "There is a huge impact on school not starting, not just on the mental health of kids ... also on the family."

Coronavirus News: Wife takes job as dishwasher at nursing home just to see husband

A woman in Florida got a new job as a dish washer at a long-term care facility just so she can see her husband during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Mary and Steve Daniel have been married for 24 years.

Steve is fighting Alzheimer's disease and lives in a memory care facility full-time.
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the facility is not accepting visitors, so the couple had not seen each other in more than three months.

Mary was willing to do whatever it took to be with her husband.

"He saw me and said 'Mary' and we hugged and just like how I thought it would be just a hold him again after 114 days is just an amazing, amazing feeling," Mary said.
