[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Totally agree. All the Reopen Now People have been living their lives like it's 2019 and then have a tantrum because number go up and we can't reopen schools. Self awareness is a little lacking in this group. [/quote] This is 100% false. "all the reopen now people' are not monolithic. There may be a very very few that fit your caricature of them- but it is mostly people with elementary students or kids with learning difficulties who are really really struggling. I for one have yet to set foot inside a restaurant inside or outside. I haven't been in any one else's house or let anyone into mine (except for the ocassional plumber to fix something we tried on our own to fix and couldn't). I have no control over what happens with the numbers. Our elected officials who have some modicum of control (The county board) have taken the position that we need to learn to live with the virus. Our school system is acting as if they will keep schools closed forever- and hang the children who are not able to engage in distance learning and are left in the dust. [/quote] It’s not a very very few. The people like YOU are the very very few. You’re not seeing all the bozos since you’re not even going out. They’re going to parties and weddings and hair salons and restaurants unmasked . Doing whatever they want. [/quote] DP. How are YOU seeing all the “bozos” if you’re holed up in your home?[/quote] Ummm it’s this thing called social media. People post to it like crazy revealing all the ways they DGAF about getting this pandemic under control. It’s the things my students tell me they did over the weekend and what my kids’ peers say in their google meets. Sleepovers! Parties! Youth baseball! [/quote] so lets break this down. Your students tell you that they had sleepovers, parties and youth baseball. You extrapolate that this means that they are going to parties, weddings, hair salons, and restaurants unmasked. parties to a kid can mean so many different things. I'm sure my son said he went to a halloween party. a neighbor showed an outdoor movie for about 8 neighborhood kids. she set up blankets 10 feet apart for each family unit and everyone wore masks. My kid had a ball at the party. He has talked about it a lot. No COVID was spread. youth baseball? that's pretty safe- outdoors, spread out, wearing masks. sleepover? Not enough context to judge whether safe or not- I would tend to lean in the 'unsafe' direction, but there are lots of contexts where it could be safe- e.g. 1 family who have been bubbled together. You can keep on pretending that those of us who want the schools open are virus pretenders and are driving spread b/c it makes you feel better about the education you are depriving children of. But its not true.[/quote] You won’t know if Covid was spread or not for at least another week. The overconfidence here is part of the issue. [/quote]
