OK, then let's think of it this way: How many people would you be willing to have die in your extended family to ensure that kids could go back to school? One? Two? Would it be worth it?  If your answer is "zero" then you have no moral leg to stand on in making your argument. Because that means you'd be willing to sacrifice other people's family members but not your own.[/quote]

No, let's think of it this way. What non-essential activities can be avoided/reduced/closed, in order to reduce community spread, so that kids can go to school (an essential activity)?[/quote]

People in MoCo will not be willing to give up trips to Home Depot, the hair salon, and bars in exchange for FT F2F school.[/quote]

Maybe. Maybe not. Regardless, that's what leadership is for - to lead.[/quote]
You are crazy to think that everyone's primary focus should be minimizing spread so that schools can open. You do know that not everyone has a child or cares about this issue? Some people are more concerned about losing their jobs, caring for elderly family members, their own cancer diagnosis, losing their home, etc. It isn't the governments job to focus on your primary interests at the expense of all others. Ridiculous for you to expect that.[/quote]

Children are not a weird expensive private hobby, like scuba diving or Peloton. Children are our society's future. One of our society's primary functions is educating our children.[/quote]
Once again, if you want to prioritize your own children above all else, great. Society will never and has never decided that children are more vital than any other members as a group. I know that for you, three months of remote learning was a catastrophe! For society at large? No. The fall will be what it will be. You need to unclench. If the people in Florida, Texas, Arizona, California, etc. are any indication, none of us will be doing much in August or September. [/quote]
