[quote=Anonymous]Yes and here is why, bc I hate when people don't at least give their reasoning to this question. We are sitting at 21 plus million confirmed cases in the US right now.we know it is approximately 40-50 percent asymptomatic..let's say 40% to be conservative, so that's another 8.5 million. Puts us at just about 30 million cases already. 10% pop.

Yes, vaccine rollout has been slower than expected but i am confident this will pick up, it's been a whopping 3 weeks after all. We will likely fall short of Fauci's herd immunity prediction of late summer with this slower roll out. Let's saywe hit 75% of the vaccine target, that's still vaccines for about 50% of the public. 60% of pop conservatively will be there by next school year.

I think that will be deemed "safe enough" with masks in the classrooms and some other logistical mitigation like maybe pods for upper grades, less moving of classes etc.

It will not be 100% safe but we also will have a community will that will be very hard to ignore if the numbers have come down and we are at 60% , continuing to approach herd immunity before cold and flu season[/quote]
