[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like these pods are going to just increase community spread like crazy. They closed schools for a reason folks. [/quote]

So what are parents with two working parents and young kids supposed to do?

Should it just be expected that one of them quite their jobs, possibly have to sell their house to manager kindergarten?[/quote]

What do you want me to say? No one has the answers. This sucks. This is the worst crisis that has happened to us. It is upending everything. But burying your head in the sand and somehow thinking you are the exception - that congregating 6 kids together and a tutor together isn't risky - isn't the answer.

What happens if someone in your pod or someone they live with gets sick? You have to work right, just push through?

Look this is horrible but seems like if we just suck it up it will end. The more people who do things like this, this will keep spreading and spreading. [/quote]

Similarly, you shouldn't bury your head in the sand over the challenges working parents face, either.

You've rather harshly criticized a choice parents are making, yet you've suggested no alternatives that would be practical for working parents.  Pods probably are a bad option for a number of reasons, but that doesn't necessarily mean they aren't the best option, too.[/quote]

I don't mean to bury my head in the sand. I truly sympathize with people. This is awful. But yea, I guess just recreating school doesn't seem like a good idea. I guess if I had to suggest an alternative it would be to keep pods small. 6 families intermingling sounds like a lot. [/quote]
