My husband and I (geneticist and virologist) are probably not sending our tween and teen to school until we’ve been vaccinated. We are anticipating Covid-19 cases, hospitalizations and deaths to surge with each attempt to open, and hope a vaccine will be available in 2021 (Dr. Fauci predicted early 2021).

Are you otherwise continuing to live in “stay at home” rules or have you shifted on any of that?[/quote]

PP you replied to.

We are still teleworking, not seeing people socially and ordering online.  We rented a Bay beach house with private beach we plan to drive to without stopping, and will disinfect surfaces once we arrive. We will probably have a physically distant picnic with one other family to celebrate our multiple missed birthdays. I am not inviting anyone to my house (we will need to let in someone from Verizon).

And for another PP, a surge for me would be a statistically significant increase in Covid-19 hospitalization and deaths.

Merely [i]statistically[/i] significant?  Are you sure you really meant to say that?  All that would mean is that there's an increase of any size that is unlikely to occur by chance.   If opening schools *doesn't* lead to a statistically significant increase, then this lockdown has been an incredible mistake.[/quote]
