"If there is a major resurgence of the pandemic, the political will for the harshest virus mitigation measures has largely evaporated even in the most liberal parts of the country, which have been the most open to restrictions, experts say.

“The threshold to shut things down is going to be much higher than it was,” said Robert Wachter, who chairs the Department of Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. “One of the durable takeaway lessons is that the closing of schools is really a terrible thing to do and should be avoided at all costs.”"[/quote]

Amen. Kids need in-person school. We will be ok. Mask and vaccinate.

Different teacher.

Kids don't "need" in-person school.  It is a "nice to have" not a "must have."  Do parents "need" childcare?  Yes.  That's the reason why schools may stay open even after kids and teachers start to die.

There is no vaccine yet that is effective against Omicron.[/quote]
