[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They didn’t make it work. They accepted schools rotating constantly in and out of remote and in person, staff and students constantly quarantining, increased viral spread. Teachers have died, oh well. If you’re interesting, rent a house in Tennessee for 2nd semester and enroll your kids. [/quote]

This. Happened in CO, OH, IN, CA, and other places.

Yes. With a virus with a 99.99% survival rate..some people still get sick and die. Teachers would have died whether they were working, or not. Grocery store clerks died. Nurses died. Postal workers died. [/quote]

I don't believe that survival rate is accurate. Further, you don't get to decide the risk tolerance for teachers. You just don't.

Grocery store clerks, postal workers, nurses . . . yes, they died. They should not have but people could not be bothered (collectively) to think beyond their own wants and THOSE PEOPLE caused those deaths. Further, teachers are not essential in the same way.  They do not need to be onsite to teach, all the bitching and whining to the contrary. There are certainly failings in DL, and I have some complaints, but that is not due to teachers but how the district has implemented in (FCPS). [/quote]

Dp. In fairfax county, there have been only 136 deaths of people age 64 and under, which includes a grand total of 0 in the 0-17 group.  There have been 51,000 confirmed cases in this age group, which makes for a 99.73% survival rate. It's probably even higher than that because I'm sure theres many more people who have been barely sick and not tested, or maybe only one person in a sick family got tested. The risk of suicide and other delays in school academically and socially in this age group is higher than the actual risk of dying of covid.

Now the death rate of the elderly in the county is abysmal though and those should be prioritized for vaccine, along with anyone high risk under 65.

Then open schools. Open civilization. For the vast majority of people, this is not the bubonic plague that the media hypes it up to be.[/quote]
