[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in Orange County, California.  Our private school opened on time and the public schools opened last week.  DS’s school has mask and distancing requirements but goes full time as the classes were already small.

But here’s what I think seems to be different in thinking from what I read here:  the only thing the kids here do is school.  Other than that we are still all very much in shutdown mode.  No play dates, no bike riding with friends, no restaurants, no parties, no pods - nothing but school.  Reopening was contingent on low numbers in the community only.  And they will shutdown again if the numbers go up.

I think this is the only way to go.  We have to prioritize school and let go of everything else for awhile.  [/quote]

I grew up in Orange county and still have a lot of friends there.   One of my friends is a teacher in an Orange county school district...a couple weeks ago she posted photos from her kid (young elementary school age)'s birthday party.  From the photos there were at least 6 kids (no, not siblings) there, all posed shoulder to shoulder in one pic.

Another friend is a teacher in San Diego and posted a photo of her Kindergarten age son sitting with at least 4 little buddies at a party a few days ago.[/quote]

Anecdotal.  Their numbers wouldn’t be low if your friends were the rule and not the exception.

And I don’t think San Diego is in Orange County.  [/quote]

Of course San Diego is not in Orange County, but it is right next door.[/quote]
