Since most professional parents are still working from home, they'll have no problem slipping away to protest others not working in close quarters with students. Hilarious.

Most professionals I know are going in at least part of the time if not every day.

Most I know may never go back in. Companies are getting rid of commercial real estate.

Oh really! Didn’t realize. Get over it.

How do you just get over it? School will most likely be virtual for a few weeks in Jan. Maybe not if we are lucky but the writing is on the wall

It shouldn’t be if the hospitals aren’t overfull. And the hospitals shouldn’t be overfull if they stop letting in masses of selfish unvaccinated morons. Sadly, they’re likely to admit masses of selfish unvaccinated morons, overfilling hospitals, and preventing those with illnesses not caused by willful stupidity and selfishness in the face of a highly contagious disease from getting care, therefore messing up schools. Again.

How much will our kids continue to pay for selfishness and stupidity? I don’t know, but I do know that my kids and I have absolutely had it with the self-centered idiocy that’s been running things for nearly a year now.

This kind of thinking is pure evil. And talk about selfish. Some people have real reasons for not wanting to be vaccinated. But if we all don’t think like you, we should rot and go to hell? My family is vaccinated but I don’t wish evil and harm on those that aren’t. What is wrong with you?

No, PP, the poster you are attacking is 100% right. It’s time to let people receive their just desserts and stop the rest of us from suffering for their willful selfish, tantrums. Those who cannot get the vaccine for legitimate, medical reasons are the ONLY ones excepted from this. No vaccine = no hospital services, period!!

Same basic story at SFS - test 1/2 or 1/3, return 1/4 or 1/5 depending on how quickly results come back. No indication of what happens if there are lots of positives.

And one could make an exception for anyone with a bona fide reason for not having been vaccinated - not just a letter from some minister that his interpretation of god's word is that you shouldn't be vaccinated. For example, being under 5. Or legit autoimmune issues.

Have you fools learned nothing from the past year and a half and all of the mistakes that were made? Go ahead and keep your kids home if you want. It’s up to you if you want to jeopardize their educations and mental health. Leave the rest of us who aren’t insane out of it, however. I likely pull my kid out and find a different option if our school went remote.

Why? At least they have to test to come back home.

I'd be more worried about the families going to Disney or visiting family in Kentucky or some other not highly vaxxed state.

Agree. I trust people returning from abroad on commercial flights the most. Domestic travel has no guard rails.
