[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CDC is coming out with new guidance for schools this week. I wondered if they would update their distancing recommendations to allow schools to plan to be open in the fall full time. But even at say 3 feet of distance, is they enough?  Will they say masks are enough??  By the fall, maybe?

The community spread will continue to decrease. Even in two months things will look different. I’m hopeful. But preparing for worse case scenario. [/quote]

New variants are more contagious and current vaccines may not protect against them. So there is that. [/quote]

[b]I am worried about this. Parts of the country who are living as normal may very well be setting the stage for new variants. I wish someone could make them understand the importance of preventing that scenario. But I'm sure they'll just continue what they're doing and those of us who live in more cautious areas will just continue paying the price[/b].[/quote]

Exactly.[/quote]

They are.  Soon we will talk about the "Florida variant", the "Texas variant" etc.[/quote]

OMG- there is so much fear here.. the media is so full on this as well! I am not saying COVID is not deadly- in particular for the older ages but so is the flu (for the younger ages- we know the older ages should be vaccined- kept apart since they are so vulnerable until they are vaccinated). As for the rest- do you see the kids in other states going 5 days a week and in some states adults at restaurants carefree? [b]Do you see a need for exra body bags due to this??? NO. [/b] This area is so messed up- and people are so nasty about anything. yes, I wear a mask, wash my hands, disinfect etc but by now we know a lot more and see other places that don't have these restrictions. (and no- don't buy that they fudge numbers- that is only trying to add to the fear - and MANY businesses and the government have a lot to gain with a compliant scared population!- look at how rich the rich have become and how this has decimated lower income, small businesses etc. Keeping our schools shut is creating such a huge gap between the haves (like Governor Newsom in CA who is a disgrace by not allowing schools to open while his kids go to private) and the have nots. If we were in the 6 figures, we would not be in public school anymore. We are one of the unfortunate saps that got hit by covid and were unemployed for 7 months. [/quote]

Actually, YES. Texas had to order more body bags and mortuary trucks last summer.
