[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm ready to let this play out. Yes, it's going to be a messy month or two, but we have to figure out what the new normal is going to look like.  I, for one, am not interested in schools being remote at any point. Kids who are sick should be in bed. Kids who are well enough to attend school should come to school Everyone who is at any kind of risk has had plenty of time to be vaccinated. Now, if hospitals really are close to breaking, then we have to pull back, but unless someone can post reliable information about hospitals being overwhelmed in MoCo, I'm not in favor of closing schools. Given the state has not released county-specific hospitalization metrics since early December, that data is not available. I'd think the hospitals would be screaming if we were in trouble. Are they?[/quote]

Well enough means sending sick kids to school.  Kids don't live alone.  If they bring it back to younger unvaccinated siblings or other family members, it could have serious consequences.

If you want kids in person, what sacrifices are you willing to make to keep them there?  Sounds like none.[/quote]

I’m not sure what your point is- unvaccinated younger siblings would likely be fine.  Anyone who has extremely vulnerable family members at home yet didn’t apply for the VA may need to make some hard choices during this wave.  The solution should not be to demand all kids go virtual for a small number of families in this situation.[/quote]

Seems logical but if 25% of the population - including hospital, school staff, gets this all at once, we have a problem. Just need to stagger it. [/quote]
