[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole fiasco is like a situation where we might have had three straight months of daily two inch snowfalls. All the snowflakes would be fine with 90 straight days of no school due to snowfall.

Switch the situation to the coronavirus. No MCPD student has died or been seriously sick due to the pandemic. None. I keep hearing that children could carry it home and infect mom, dad, or grandma. Has there been any cases where that actually happened?

I suspect that this whole thing has been a huge “scared of my shadow” deal and had it not been for NYC and nursing homes we wouldn’t have missed a day of school.[/quote]

So far three parents at my child’s school have died.  [/quote]

But that was not because school was open.[/quote]

Exactly-that's terrible but unrelated to schools being open. 3 people died, who happened to be parents. Absolutely no connection to having it spread at schools since they weren't even open.[/quote]
100 teachers in New York City died after schools stayed open for weeks while COVID spread. You are literally crazy if you think this is no big deal. You see 100,000 deaths and all you can think about is how this has inconvenienced you? You need psychological help. [/quote]

Please stop with the hysteria and insults. Really. People can have different perspectives with how to deal with what all would agree is a terrible situation and not “need psychological help”.

What you and others are failing to recognize in your hysteria is that that while, yes, deaths from COVID are horrific, so are the inevitable consequences of social isolation, impoverishment, and mental health deterioration. Those have real consequences some people’s lives and well being - and whether or not they live at all. This isn’t about “convenience” and if that’s your myopic view would encourage you to get up to speed at the overall determinants of health in the US. [/quote]
