[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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.

[b]The fact that you’ve blindly accepted a year+ of closures followed by some indeterminate amount of time of “hybrid,” “social distancing,” and whatever else, means that you’ve given up. Most of us refuse to give up. [/quote][/b]

DP Good luck with that. I just know that strength and persistence won’t protect my family from the virus - we need the vaccine. It’s out of my control so we’ll wait patiently for life to return to normal. [/quote]

DDP.[b] Except that they seem to be moving the goalposts all the time.[/b]  First, it was we need PPE and ventilation, then all teachers need to get vaccinated (no talk of kids), now it's all vaccinations plus low community spread and now some are talking about needing all the kids vaccinated too.  Now people are latching onto the CDC recommendation that vaccinations must not be more than 3 months ago (so what,  teachers need to get revaccinated?).  I've been a good soldier all along, masking and distancing, but at some point it seems like we're changing our goals from "mitigate risk" to "lower to zero risk" -- at the great expense of other societal goods.[/quote]

Where is this talking point coming from? I’ve heard it a lot and given that this was a new virus and now changing, it seems naive to think that how we handle it can’t or shouldn’t change.  And who is “they”?  Because I’ve always known that life would be drastically different until we’re all vaccinated. Teachers being vaccinated doesn’t do a thing for my family. [/quote]
