[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can I be honest that I really resent that we have to "act now"?

You are talking to a group of people who are so f-in tired from raising infants and young toddlers during a pandemic. I literally have no free time. I've signed the petition. I'm going to email leaders after I have hopefully sent my child back to daycare (but who knows if our center will be open). But just once in this pandemic it would be nice if our elected leaders would do their job here instead of putting it all on parents (let's be honest, mostly moms).[/quote]

Also, I find it irritating that the OP credits the political activism of school age kids for the way things are the way they are.  Note, daycares mostly repopen by June, while schools were virtual for nearly the whole year.  Of course school age parents were up in arms telling the public school districts, which are paid for by taxes and a public has right to an education, to figure out a plan.

I don't disagree with OP, though, we do need to contact state & county health departments to encourage them to change the guideance.  And in the mean time, we need to buckle up for a wild 2 months and do our best to support each other - because I don't think it is going to happen in time.[/quote]

I agree with next two months will be rough. Even with strong support from the state and county I think most of the pain over the next month is unavoidable, They’re going to prioritize tests for K-12, not preK. My worry is more that if we don’t work to get changes to isolation and quarantine policies then we’re going to be dealing with this until at least the fall.  With political pressure to revise isolation/quarantine policies, we're in trouble until the pediatric vaccine is available.[/quote]
