[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our union leadership has already stated that we are not childcare and there is no possibility of all students attending school at the same time. The buildings are too crowded and we will not go back to work packed in like sardines against all common sense and medical advice.

Parents should think about how they will manage this-nanny share, one parent stays home and you downsize, etc. This will likely be our new reality until a vaccine is developed. [/quote]

What should we do if it takes 3 years or more to find a vaccine? Just accept that kids of our nation will not have an adequate education?[/quote]
No one is saying we don’t go back until there’s a vaccine. They’re saying we don’t go back and throw caution to the wind, full capacity and no protections. It’s not “if” that will cause a massive uptick in infections, but how many. The union is demanding masks, testing for all staff and students, temperature checks and a strict sick child policy. If they can’t make those things happen, then going back to the buildings is off the table. [/quote]
The unions shouldn't have to be demanding widespread testing and masks before big buildings fill up with kids and adults again. The Federal Government should be providing those, and they've (we've) had months to get it together. I'm so sorry that it falls on unions to make such demands. It's nuts. Widespread testing, contact tracing, mass distribution of masks are necessary if cities are to reopen before a vaccine is available.

We have orders of magnitude more positive cases in DC than we had when we shut the city down 2+ months ago. Case numbers will absolutely skyrocket when we open even a fraction of the city back up. It's unthinkable to do that without the basics - testing for all, tracing, masks for all.
