Why are you even talking about political will right now?

Seriously, we need to replace the Myers-Briggs with a test that separates those who see the actual environment and threats for what they are, and those who see everything through the filter of political will. The latter have make my life miserable for 15 years, and you haven't made the world much better either.


Oh, and the standard response to anything said by the 'political will' focused types is obviously always the response above:
I hope you’re right. I am not so confident you’re correct though.


With this being the subtext:
STICK THIS SENSE OF CALM DIRECTLY INTO MY VEINS.

I don't understand what your point is.

Do you not believe that politics trumps actual science, health and reason - and threats - each and every time?

I really want to believe this now, but I thought it was true last July.

Politically the mayor wont close schools again. Who knows what the Union will say. I am not worried about Delta. Yes there are breakthrough infections but even then the chance of a hospitilazation or death is like .001%. Why punish the vaccinated when its the unvaxxed who are the problem.

If they don’t open our plan is to pull our younger from K and try again next year. I suppose the older will just have to suffer though? I feel trapped, to be honest. We can’t uproot and move and private isn’t an option for us.

DH and I made a plan last night. We’ll list our house and move to somewhere the schools are open. It’s not ideal but we’ll do it for a year or two for the kids.

Go to Alabama.
This wave there might be over by the time school starts.
Then you can ride the next wave bareback with them.
Enjoy your sense of smell while you have it!

I’m terrified. We have no backup plan. I refuse to go through (put my kids through) another year like that.

Is anyone else making a Plan B? What is it? Too late for private school….right?


I think I have PTSD from last July when we were told schools wouldn’t follow their hybrid plan.
