[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it is so impossible to re-open schools safely, how come the plurality of schools in the US are open for full-time in person instruction? It's almost a majority for K-5.

UNICEF mapped out back in fall where things were open:

There are districts here in the Commonwealth of Virginia that are fully in-person for 4 days:

I've said it before and I'll say it again -[b] given the number of families choosing to remain fully remote, it should be possible to get all kids in school who want to be in-person at a 3' spacing [/b](the spacing recommended by the WHO and used in Europe). You don't have to jettison distancing entirely.

VDOE has a layout on it's site for a 3' spacing for classrooms:

My building has over 70% returning. My class and grade level is close to 80%. I wouldn't be able to fit them in my classroom at 3' distance.[/quote]
