What mitigation do you expect to work in a slowly moving crowd? Do you really expect a thin layer of material with holes many times the size of the virus to stop anything? Is it a new magic incantation, so repeating it will magically make it safe? Have you been to any of our high schools pre-covid and walked the halls during class changes? Did the hallways magically expand to allow 6-foot distancing or even 3-foot distancing?

Not sure what you’re asking for. Vaccines will be approved for 12-15 soon. If that’s not good enough and masks don’t make you comfortable, there’s Virtual Virginia. I doubt there’s any plans being made for a fully fleshed out a la carte online high school curriculum. [/quote]

That’s the point. There is no guarantee that the vaccine will be approved in time for the 9th and 10th graders to have time to get them before the academic year starts. [/quote]

One of the vaccines has already put in for approval for the 12-15 year olds. I am not sure if they put it in for the fast emergency approval like the adult version. I would be shocked if it is not available in the next month or so. And there are news reports that we are starting to have areas where there is more vaccine then demand, mainly places where people are refusing the vaccine but still, there is enough vaccine that they can start to vaccinate the 12-15 crowd when the vaccine is available.

DS uses a mask that allows us to add a filter to it so that the gaps are far smaller than the ones in the mask on its own. There are masks available that are more protective then the cloth mask and paper masks that people are using. You have options. And there is Virtual Virginia. [/quote]
