[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t understand why everyone thinks this is so simple. “Ugh, why is this so hard!” “Duh, they just have to go back to school!”

I am a parent and a teacher and I am here to tell you that this is complicated. It’s not simple. Putting 500-3000 wiggly, non-rule following humans in a tight space every day in the middle of a pandemic is a challenge. Even if they tend to be asymptomatic. Even if you have to go to work. If we are going to have a real conversation about what needs to happen to open, people on both sides need to agree on the basics. [/quote]

But we won't be "in the middle of a pandemic". The numbers are declining everywhere despite things opening up. [/quote]

That’s just not true. Cases are climbing in the south and west where things first opened up. I’m for reopening schools with social distancing measures. [/quote]

I am also surprised that people can't seem to get it through their thick skulls that many viruses dramatically decline in summer. The fact that we are still seeing increases in some states and Maryland is still holding steady for the most part is concerning given the warmer weather. Once the kids go back to school, the weather benefits will start to decrease. This has to be considered in the reopening plan. The pandemic is far from over.[/quote]
