Is VA going to be better?[/quote]

VA isn't going to be better. Fairfax and Loudon, etc are having the EXACT same conversations.  As is the private school
that I'm spending $45k for.  [/quote]

All the schools in this area are dealing with the same issues.  And they are going to coordinate, because the DMV is a pretty tightly interconnected region, so it's unlikely that one state is going to choose to be a huge outlier.

I just think people are getting pissy because they want everything back to normal and haven't really wrapped their head around the fact that that isn't happening any time soon.  Also, it's clear that people posting like this haven't really been affected by the actual pandemic -- they don't know anyone who was seriously ill or died -- and so it's all just abstract to them, and all they feel is the personal inconvenience.  Which is real, sure, but you'd see a different response if people had any kind of visceral sense of how bad this disease can be.  Local governments aren't just responding to the well-off white people in NWDC and Cap Hill, they are responding to conditions in Wards 5 and 8, and a disease that is disproportionately injuring and killing POC.

Hey PP.  Seven of my family members have had the virus.  One is dead.  Three family members are working as nurses or ER docs and have been treating Covid patients in Virginia and NY for months.  Also, numerous friends, one of whose FIL died.  Do I qualify?

Qualify for what?

You qualify for our sympathy. That is a lot of loss.

Do you qualify for a school model that will lead to more deaths? No.[/quote]

NP. Do you have evidence that opening schools will lead to more deaths? No, because it doesn't exist.[/quote]
