You have an odd view of what SR is about…either reading too many right wing conspiracy theories or pushing them yourself.

I’m in SR and I’m sending my kids to school. A lot of SR parents sent their kids in person last year too. No one in SR is trying to shut down. We want in person school. We do care about doing it safely. I’m worried about my elementary unvacced kids at lunch and I’m worried about the nut job APE crowd hiding their kids symptoms or contacts.

And I’m also worried that the ant mitigation denial APE agenda will lead to shutdowns and sickness and maybe even virtual which my kids don’t want.

We should all be working together to make sure schools can open safely. Sad some don’t see that.

Open [b]safely[/b]. Last year, that meant SR promoting metrics that were impossible to meet.  I'm so glad the governor finally forced APS to reopen. Schools were open safely throughout the US and world last year with limited mitigation.

If you're worried about your unvaccinated healthy kids at lunch, then I'd recommend they walk to school as the risk on that ride is more of a risk to them than COVID.  Flu and RSV are more of a risk to them (and no one ever proposed these types of measures for them). And I'm sure you saw the peer-reviewed study in Lancet that came out last week that said Long COVID in kids is extremely rare.

I did see also now that your favorite "COVID is going to kill us all" pundits are saying the truth about cloth masks.  We're now at Ding, Osterholm and Celine Gounder in the past week alone, talking about how cloth masks provide extremely limited protection, especially in a school setting.  [/quote]

I don't remember Smart Restart promoting metrics... what on earth are you talking about? Look at their website, it's all about mitigation in open schools, not about metrics on opening or closing.

And for the zillionth time, last year is not this year. Delta is here now, things have changed. You need to adjust PP. We all do.

Watch the schools that are opening this summer... it's not pretty. [/quote]
