[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just hope the same parents that want no restrictions are happy to have their kids teachers/bus drivers/cafeteria staff  working with a "cold" or being out recovering when they get that "bad virus" again.[/quote]

I don't want anyone to be in schools when they feel under the weather, teachers, staff, or students.  I also don't want people who feel well and healthy to be home because of asymptomatic COVID.

If the entire county doesn't have a mask mandate, supporting one in schools makes no sense.  I'm not forcing my first grader into a mask all day long while adults pack into bars and gyms.[/quote]

They are sick with asymptotic Covid so your post makes no sense.  And be real.  Kids will go to school sick.  Adults in bars has nothing to do with school.   If anything because the adults are behaving poorly, more reason to be careful in schools.

Plan for Covid. It’s going to be a bumpy fall.  [/quote]

Honestly?  I don't care that kids go to school sick.  Our country does jack to support families and if it's a choice between sending a kid to school while sick or losing a job, I'm fine with a parent sending their kid in sick.  I'm not so oblivious as to think every family has a full-time SAHP or that every working parent has adequate sick leave.

As for asymptomatic COVID, you don't get the point, which is that it shouldn't matter anymore.  We cannot keep quarantining people and shutting down over an asymptomatic illness.

Last but not least, mask mandates are a policy issue.  If we're going to say that schools need mask mandates, then we darn well better have them for the rest of the indoor spaces in this county, too.  Unfounded inconsistency is poor policy; it leads to people checking out of the political system entirely or voting for candidates who would be truly awful.  If that's what you want, by all means, keep going.[/quote]
