[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CDC is supposed to issue new guidance on Wednesday regarding the opening of schools, hopefully addressing the 6 ft distance thing. You can eat in a restaurant without 6 ft between people. [/quote]

Indoor dining is one of the most dangerous things you can do right now, so yeah, sure, let’s emulate that.

You people are bonkers.[/quote]

Well if the CDC says that schools can have less than 6 feet distancing, are you going to say that they are incorrect?[/quote]

If a frog had wings it wouldn’t bump its ass when it hops. We can “if” all day long, but it doesn’t change the fact that indoor dining is one of the main causes of spread. Y’all are slowly trying to take every mitigation factor away and won’t stop until it’s 5 days, unspaced with no/optional masks. [/quote]

Yep. I won’t stop until we’re back in normal school. You’re right there! [/quote]

DP.  It is because of attitudes like yours PP that we can't get this pandemic under control.  You need to get help for your anxiety so that you can be more calm and reasonable, and you will be able to understand the science behind the CDC directives, mitigation like social distancing and masks, and those things that help keep society safe.[/quote]

Seriously. The rabid reopening people like to mock people advocating for mitigation measures, claiming they are anxious basement dwellers. To me the rabid reopeners look like the ones truly struggling with anxiety. They simply cannot accept that this is out of their control. They are just crumbling in the face of this adversity.

I'm not that PP, but I think this is one of the grossest mischaracterizations out there.  I am not in any way "rabid."  I know there are some people on the fringe in whichever direction ("there is no such thing as covid" vs "I will never leave my house again").  But I want my kids to be able to attend school, in person, with a teacher.  After nearly a year of this, I do accept that much of this is out of my control.  I have also done what I could: come in to work every day, in person, in healthcare; volunteered to do COVID testing and set up vaccination clinics in my (very few) off hours, said "no" to virtually everything my kids might normally (reasonably) want to do last summer: no birthday parties, no sleepovers, no playdates, no pool.   But at a certain point, this is just absurd.  People can go to the gym, the bar, the f*&%ing Super Bowl, and my kids are stuck on an iPad for 18 months?  We have failed, folks!  Not JUST at the Federal level, but all the way down![/quote]
