Years of distance learning yet I can go to a mall? My teenage neighbor can work at Target right now? 
Why the hell can't teachers just do their jobs like the rest of us are. In masks if needed. This is getting crazy. [/quote]

Malls should absolutely not be open any place where spread is high.   If it isn't safe for schools to open, malls, indoor dining, bars, etc should all be closed.

Target should only be open for curbside pick up, for essential items, as it was during the shutdown, and the people who do work there should be protected from interaction with customers and paid highly; work should be on a voluntary basis.

Teachers are no more special than mall workers or Target employees.  They just happen to have more clout politically which is why they have been able to bring this issue to a head.

We cannot reopen anything until we get spread under control.  We need to have fewer than 2 new cases per 100,000 people, per day as one measure.  States that get it, get it and are working on it.

States that don't get it are going to crater, catastrophically and economically and health wise and socially.  It is happening in slow motion in the South right now.[/quote]

But then as soon as states open, the rates go back up.  The only way to keep it at 2 per hundred thousand is to keep everything at spring closure levels indefinitely, or be isolated like Hawaii.  I think we need to accept a slightly higher rate- I don't know what that it is, but policymakers need to have this debate.

Before someone shouts "Europe!" there are reasons to suspect some of the numbers coming out of certain countries right now.[/quote]
