This virus is mercifully slow-walking to its' end here, and in northern Virginia with a very low rate of adult vaccine hesitancy we will easily surpass herd immunity thresholds locally. However the virus is absolutely raging elsewhere, with 2024 as one date some are putting out for widespread vaccination in those countries. 2024!

If your kid has type I, asthma, or another condition it's a different ballgame from those of us who aren't facing that complication, of course.

Thank you for remembering the bolded part!

The DC area? Probably not but the rest of the country will.

I live in Texas. We’ve been back to normal since last fall. Once schools opened, most people started going to restaurants, gyms, having get togetherness, etc. Our numbers haven’t been any worse than CA’s or other locked down states.

Compare Texas to DMV. Masks and other protocols (including vaccines) work.
Texas — 9,941 per 100,000
Virginia — 7,689 per 100,000
Maryland — 7,355 per 100,000
District of Columbia — 6,726 per 100,000

Yes, but only approximately only 500 more than California, which has been the most locked down state in the country. I’d be interested in seeing the stats on suicide and overdoses over this period. I’m not convinced that locking down was worth the cost, especially for lower socioeconomic kids, many of whom lost a year of learning.

My whole family is in CA and I just got back from visiting. You are woefully wrong in your understanding of CA's "lockdown". SF is pretty stringent but nowhere else is, despite technically still having mask mandates in place. In LA and SD there is not a mask in sight anywhere. Fully open restaurants and bars. It was really shocking coming from DC.

Cases are so very low in LA due to high vax plus high natural immunity. Why shouldn’t they be returning to normal?

What is it you want to hear, exactly? Why are you waiting for a special blessing when the vaccines have been proven safe through literally hundreds of millions of doses.

I was just in Fullerton and people were masking and there was a good amount of outdoor dining. In door dining was spaced out and people wore masks when not at their table. I think I saw one person not wearing a mask, that was at the grocery store and an employee handed them a mask to put on.

Cool story.

It absolutely must be mandatory for return to the building. No exceptions whatsoever.

They have not tested or administered hundreds of millions of doses to kids 2-11

Sorry. For tweens. Not Little kids. That will be September. But what a rollout by then.
