[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the bottom line is that people need to listen to the actual experts on what to do (epidemiologists, immunologists, etc). You know, the people who actually study this stuff and dedicate their life to this. Listening to anonymous trolls on the internet who are looking to push buttons bc they are bored and likely sadistic isn’t the answer. Here’s some great advice from the experts in the Washington Post today: https://apple.news/AYJkCPpRLQmeu-reKPodLmg[/quote]

They've done such a bang up job so far. [/quote]

Stop playing games. Certain people who would gain by ignoring the pandemic intentionally undermined anyone speaking reason. Also the response was never going to be perfect and your bunch of nutjobs used every bit of it to encourage confusion. If that orange stain had not been in office things would not have been so bad.  [/quote]

Except the worst responses were local efforts. The federal government did its job- getting the vaccine done quickly and funding PPP. The feds didn't close schools or put states/counties on lockdown.[/quote]

Schools needed to be closed. It was an attempt to keep everyone safe. Don't you remember how little we knew about the virus and how hard it was to find masks? Expecting teachers to die for your kid is unreasonable. [/quote]

NP. No, schools did not need to be closed, certainly not for this long, and DC and other blue cities were outliers on this. Other places that didn't follow their path did not have higher rates of teacher illness and death. The emerging expert consensus that closing schools was unnecessary and an epic mistake with long-term consequences is only going to get stronger over time.[/quote]

This. At the time of March 2020, we didn’t really know what to expect. Closing schools may have seemed like a necessary step then, although looking back we know it did more harm than good.[/quote]

+2 closing everything in March 2020, fine. Extending the closures and disruptions (2 day a week hybrid, “Zoom in the room” with the teacher absent, etc.) past the beginning of the 2020-2021 SY was inexcusable. And I believe it was political because Trump and others were falling for open schools, open everything and certain people on the left had to be against it because of that reason. Now I mean Trump was wrong on a lot - A LOT - but he was right on schools. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. [/quote]
