[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think the public schools will start in person but as the weather gets colder and the cases of the delta variant increase  then the schools will shut down and be virtual by the winter. 
That’s why we opted for private for our kids this year.[/quote]

Or.....nothing will happen and we are all flying into a panic based on last year's debacle.

Did we see this article about the UK?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/britain-covid-cases-plummet-mystery/2021/07/28/4fa3a734-ef7c-11eb-81b2-9b7061a582d8_story.html

Something strange is happening in Britain. Covid cases are plummeting instead of soaring.[/quote]

They have an over 70% adult vax rate.  We don't and aren't close.[/quote]

And they spaced their two vaccine shots closer to 11 weeks compared to our 3 weeks, which many scientists are suspecting it may have conferred them stronger immunity.

but they got a higher proportion of astra zeneca which is not as robust.

also the same delta crash was seen in other countries like netherlands and india. [/quote]

The article cited speculates they have achieved herd immunity. Enough are vaccinated, and those that aren't may have already had it. We need to get our numbers in USA up. Holdouts, including here in DC, are selfish people incubating variants that are up to 1000X more virulant to date--and eventually one will pop up that is more harmful to children worldwide. What then?[/quote]

Ok.  You're right.   Covid will keep mutating and no vaccines will work and people should just quit jobs and children should not be well-educated.  What then?[/quote]

The result is obvious, those who can move will, leaving only the most disadvantaged in DC to become further disadvantaged and given the SES stratification in DC, that is going to happen largely on racial lines. Very sad[/quote]
