[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Guys, Smith literally said "we can't just keep kids out of school for 6 months and think that's ok."   They will be back in the fall.[/quote]

Perhaps the reality of our situation hasn't fully sunk in. We all have to accept things which were previously unimaginable. Who knows, maybe covid will disappear this summer, never to reemerge? This is a situation no one has dealt with before. We're doing things ad hoc and there's no road map.[/quote]

That’s true, but that also means that we will have to accept certain levels of risk that we would have otherwise found unacceptable.[/quote]

You don't have the option of accepting the risk for health care workers who have to take care of you when you get sick with COVID-19.  That's why the Governor stepped in to stop you from putting others in danger.  [/quote]

The governor issued the stay-at-home order to flatten the curve. The curve has been flattened, and he is now talking about lifting the stay-at-home order. If you're concerned about the risk for health care workers, talk about that, not keeping schools closed - potentially for years. I, personally, think that schools are more important than golf courses and hair salons. I think that schools are an essential government activity. But you're allowed to have your own opinion about that, of course.[/quote]

The curve has not been flattened yet.  Decisions are not being made based on what you think is more important or on your opinion. Decisions are being made based on what is the safest possible activity.  Schools are one of the least safest activities.  You can say they are important all you want, but that doesn't make them safe to open as they existed before.  The word essential is not going to re-open schools as they were on March 1st.  [/quote]
