[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It would be a lot easier to take seriously the DL people here and on AEM saying “but we shouldn’t go back during the surge” if those same people weren’t also strongly advocating for full DL in summer and early fall.

It’s an easy talking point now for them to say “but the case load is so high!”  What was their excuse 5 months ago?

It wouldn’t bother me so much except I know these are the same people (at least on AEM, where posters are not anonymous) who are so quick to accuse APE members (I’m not a member, just an AEM observer) of changing their narrative to fit their present circumstances. Pot, meet kettle. [/quote]

Hindsight is 20/20. We didn’t k ow how much higher the case rates would go. [/quote]

Lol what?? Every projection out there said we were going to have a surge starting in late fall and through the winter. [/quote]

Exactly.  Every single one.  This is a well-educated part of the country.  I can't understand how we have so many ignorant and foolish people living here.  The projections were very clear.[/quote]

We tried to tell them and they insisted we were making it up. “Oh the surge is always 2 weeks away huh.” “Just admit you don’t want to go in to work lazy teacher “ [/quote]

You’ve missed the point by a mile. We should have gone back in person starting in September when cases were low, and then planned to revert to DL around thanksgiving due to the winter surge. Claiming we can’t go back now because of the surge is fine, but that doesn’t excuse those same people arguing for full DL in the summer and early fall, which was clearly the wrong call (that we could all see coming). [/quote]

How would we have gone back in the fall? Even now, we still don’t have the testing, air cleaners, etc.

Get the CB and APS to come up with a safe plan and then we can talk.
