[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Virtual learning is very likely by now, unfortunately. Hopefully it will be brief. The country needs to get serious about requiring vaccination otherwise we will go through these situations over and over... perhaps until a more deadly variant emerges which will then get people to vaccinate.

We need testing not vaccines.  Our country is highly vaccinated and that strategy did not work.  [/quote]

The vaccines are working fine. You just didn’t have realistic expectations. The endgame for covid has always been for severity to be reduced through acquired immunity. We were never going to eradicate it.

A strategy built on testing is doomed to fail. The inherent and unavoidable problems are that: 1) many cases are asymptomatic or very mildly symptomatic, and 2) people are contagious before showing symptoms. As a result, we can’t practically test our way out of this. Covid will continue to spread at significant levels forever. But the vast majority of vaccinated individuals will be fine, developing very mild symptoms.[/quote]
