In school year 2020-2021 kids were more likely to get COVID when not in school. School is a controlled environment with mitigations. If cases are rising that’s an argument to get kids in school. |
Not when we're talking about a variant of COVID that's 100% more contagious than the strain faced by people during the 2020-21 school year. |
Well, too bad they used up all their shutdown capital last school year. They're not going to keep kids out of the school building for 2.5 years. I mean from two weeks to flatten the curve...to over two years? I mean not even the craziest school board member is that crazy. |
When widespread infections inevitably occur because of Delta they will have no choice. |
this, and even if they say temporary no one will believe them. Politically, they have to open in the fall |
Outrageous. Such a double standard. And how dumb is this lady to post it on Facebook. Parents need to speak up. Why are we accepting this garbage about masking vaccinated students. |
It'll be targeted and temporary. They're simply not going to double down on last year's insanity and move to a perpetual DL model. That will break the teachers as well. |
I am so glad I teach high school. I don’t want to see my students get sick. |
A bunch of clueless idiots who are likely transmitting COVID to each other so more and more unvaccinated children are put at risk when school starts in 18 days. That's the reason for outrage. |
We really need better data. The CDC sucks. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/04/opinion/cdc-covid-guidelines.html |
I know! I would like to say I am surprised but, unfortunately, I’m not. |
Delta infections are down 70% in the UK over the last three weeks, 75% in the Netherlands, and 95% in India. Cases have started to turn over in Missouri and slowed in other southern states. This isn't a long term sustained wave. I know there are a few people who are upset by this since they turned freaking out about COVID a major part of their personality but this is all going to be much to do about nothing in a few weeks. |
Woe is me when that crowd loses the "Delta is different; nothing will ever be the same again" talking point. I suppose it'll be time to back a new horse like Lambda. |
I doubt it will be a few weeks. There is about a 50 day timeline, and the US is behind the UK and India. India had large scale use of iverm as well. However, they are already talking about delta plus. |
Do you actually read anything, or just sit around making empty sarcastic comments? |
