[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to Rio in Gaithersburg MD the restaurants are packed with HS and College kids. It is outdoor but no one really social distancing - so why no school? [/quote]

College kids usually aren’t in school by June.

In this area, seniors stop attending in May.

School is over on one week for K-11 anyway.[/quote]

You missed the point the pp was making.  They aren't distancing anyway so there is no reason for school not to start back in the fall.[/quote]

Lack of social distancing this week should not force us to make a decision now about schools in Sept. certainly people were eating in restaurants, packing malls, and going to school in late February even as we knew the risks. And then 100,000 of us died. And many previously young and healthy people remain ill with fatigue, respiratory impairment, and cognitive effects. Cases of the Kawasaki-like condition in children are climbing and no one knows if long term effects are possible, but scientists are concerned that this might contraindicated the vaccine for children since antibodies are what spark the overreaction and inflame their hearts.

We should make a decision in August based on August rates of infection, what school systems have managed to do in terms of precautions, and above all else science. Not what humans impulsively do because they are bored, anti-science, or making a political statement.[/quote]
