But on all other days, kid should absolutely eat outside. It's a low cost, low effort way to drastically decrease transmission risk.

When did Duran say outdoor lunch was ending?

Yeah. I'm confused too. I didn't know it was ending. My child enjoyed eating outdoors. A shame if it's true.

Nope. It's going to be normal school plus masks. Plan accordingly.

I’m not sure that “normal school plus masks” means no out door lunch. What’s your source?

Will the school nurse be able to do Covid tests?

I want a source too besides “I said so”. Outdoor lunch/classroom time is important to me even before COVID, so trying to gauge my concern here.

We just need to get thru fall and the kids will be vaccinated by then. I just don’t think that’s going to happen that soon. And even when kids can get vaccinated, I don’t think parents will be running to vaxx their elementary kids. I would vaxx my kid if it meant no masks but otherwise I will prob wait to see what the consensus is outside of the US. The argument to stop the next variant is not persuasive, while we should do everything to stop the spread to prevent new variants, the best way to do that is to pump vaccine to adult populations around the world. I’m keeping an eye on the UK: https://twitter.com/vprasadmdmph/status/1417667672158867463?s=21

no, not running at all. Parents will happily let others be first in line for this kids' vaccine.

These masks should be distributed by schools.
