[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The plan to reopen schools is foolish and it will collapse one outbreak, one ICU admission, one death at a time.[/quote]

So you want schools to be virtual?

And, you know how many children in DC have died of Covid? Zero.

Histrionic. [/quote]

Sure, I wish schools could be open.  But that wishfulness doesn't override my common sense.  Every school, every day will be a potential superspreader event.

When you detect positive cases (which will happen almost immediately), do you shut the school down for 1-2 weeks for quarantine?  If so, why open at all?  If not, then you ask everyone involved (kids, teachers, staff) to accept a totally different level of risk than has been communicated to date.

Teachers will die, who otherwise would have lived.

I understand that virtual school is terrible for many kids.  It's a lose-lose with no easy answers.  I wish more parents would step up and teach their kids at home.  I wish more employers would step up and provide parents the time to do so.[/quote]

Teachers at least have the option to be vaccinated.  We need to stop focusing on teacher safety as they make up a very small number of people in schools and focus on student safety, especially for our under 12 (and those turning 12 soon that have to wait to be vaccinated).[/quote]
