[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are at least two different groups in here:  (1) People who don't want schools to close and, since omicron, are taking precautions by not eating in indoor restaurants, getting groceries delievered or wearing good masks when going indoors, etc. and (2) People who don't want schools to close but have gone close to back to normal and say that covid is endemic at this point, risks are low, and folks just need to get back to normal.

Because of omicron, the (2) people are failing to recognize that they are putting open schools at risk.  Because if APS runs out of teachers who are not quarantined, schools will have to close or we will have a NYC situation where teacherless kids are held in auditoriums until they have a class with a present teacher.

If there arenlt enough teachers to teach, there will be even more learning loss from cancelled classes like in NYC.  You don't seem to have a plan for that besides let it rip through, which isn't a plan.

I'd love to close restaurants and bars and gyms temporarily, also.  Anyway, I don't go to any of those places so I'm doing my part.

I signed my kid up for testing and think you should, too, because asymptomatic kids can still spread covid and infect teachers causing learning loss for whole classes.  But even if you don't, at least don't send your kids in if they have symptoms or you know they have covid.[/quote]

Enough with binaries. There are MANY MANY kinds of people. You think ordering groceries will keep schools open? Who is shopping for you? You don't think they have children?
