Schools are back in person all over the country and there is no spread. Florida is fully back, kids wear masks less than half the time in class my kids' classes, and there is no spread, nothing happening, nothing to worry about. One day DCUM will grow up and see the error of it's paranoid ways, and then the paranoids will blithely shrug it off, because just like with all narcissists (and baby boomers) they will only care that they got to "work from home" and buy a bowflex, so what the big deal, right? They won't care that the biggest impacts were on their own children, on their own aged parents isolated in their final years, on their own communities, on their own businesses and economies and neighborhood amenities, on their own school systems and on their own freedoms. They have theirs. They could shelter as long as it took. Damn the rest.

Did you see the thread in the health section ...11,234 cases reported in Florida in a single day.

Yup, don't care, nobody here does, because nobody dies, it's a total lie that the hospitals are full just like it was a lie the first time around, elderly are allowed to live and see family and not be locked away in their final months and years (BTW, ask any 80 year if they're willing to risk dreaded COVID for the sake of living their remaining months with family around them and free to make their own decisions: you know the answer before you even need to ask), the kids are in school and thriving, businesses are open and thriving, people's freedoms are mostly intact...need to go on?

The CogDis is phenomenal. Masks work? Then why the spike in cases??? Distancing works? Then why the rise in cases??? Destroying the economy because "every last life matters" works? etc, etc, etc.

We are ALL GONNA GET IT. GROW UP!!!!

And when we do, we'll all be FINE! Except the 80 year diabetics (still a 94% survival rate, duh). But then again, we won't be fine. Because we will have destroyed our economy, our businesses will have been sucked up in the multinational conglomerates, our freedoms will be eviscerated, our kids dumbed-down into oblivion, and our social graces and simple functioning completely retarded.

Well, I mean, you all will be, in the DMV.

Okay.

A bride-to-be in Texas has died from COVID-19 — just five days after she was supposed to walk down the aisle, her family said.

Stephanie Lynn Smith, 29, had been looking forward to marrying her fiancé, Jamie Bassett, on Nov. 13 in the same field where they got engaged in Lubbock, NBC News reported.

You can bet your butt it's the boomers' fault the schools are closed, the businesses are imploding, commercial real estate is doomed for a decade because they can all "work from home" in their smug flush retirement secure overpriced homes. Bet your butt a massive dollop of blame sits right on top of their constipated bellies. Boomers have zero skin in the game. Especially the childless boomers. The boomers in my neighborhood who had no problem closing the pool all summer because of their irrational fear. Doesn't effect them, they barely go to the pool, haha they're so content. Meanwhile, all the kids in the neighborhood are shut down all summer long. Shut the bars? No big whoop to the boomers! They sip their vodka gimlets at home anyway. Shut the theaters forever? Whatever, they have plenty of $$ for every premium channel. Shut the schools? Have at it, they aren't effected at all and besides those noisy bus stops annoy them every morning on their leisure walks anyway.

The absolute most spoiled generation in all of history. The only generation ever to not have to face its own mortality. No wars. No depression. No disasters. They grew up in America's golden age and inherited the greatest wealth ever created. Then they spent it all. Built equity in homes all the rest of us are now expected to buy from them so they can head south. The most cowardly spoiled generation ever who now is faced with a small taste of mortality, a weak flu virus that is taking out a relative handful of their numbers (250K out of 360M people? hardly a massive pandemic no matter how you slice it), a virus that is a window into their own inevitable death, and they freaked the hell out. They shut everything down. They doomed us all. Because they have no skin in the game. They are the eternally damned generation.

Never ever underestimate the intense scrutiny every self satisfied boomer will undergo at those pearly gates, pleading with Peter to please, please, please let them take their retirement money with them. They earned it!! It's a tight squeeze through the eye of that needle but you know they'll try hard to get through, and bring their insipid golf clubs with them.

I don't agree with it at all, but public schools in areas like DMV aren't going back until 2022.

Updating because guess what is becoming more and more clear (spoiler - OP thread is correct):

Good luck with wishful thinking. I work for CDC and

1) 480k vaccines are coming to VA at the end of December.
2) these doses are going only and strictly to elderly in nursing homes and the staff dedicating their time and life to them.
3) COVID-19 vaccines have not been tested on children. Surprise! Thus, they will not be distributed nor inoculated on population below the age of 15
4) second round of vaccines for VA is estimated to hit the health officials distribution administrators by early January or mid February. If I recall from my DW’s meetings that’s start of Q3?
5) we need time to assess the adverse reactions of will cause on people so spring through summer is our window.
6) given the above next school year is starting with hybrid and virtual as we are now.
7) if nothing goes wrong, key word if, you might have 5 day in-person starting Q2 in 2021-2022 SY

Sounds about right to me.

Based on Pfizer's announcement today, it might actually be right for adults (and maybe teens? Not sure who Pfizer had in their trial). That would be amazing.

Manufacturing and distributing a vaccine to millions of people is going to take incredible logistics work. An added wrinkle is that you have to keep the vaccines super cold so it's harder to store/defrost https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-vaccines-distribut-idUSKBN27P2VI

Many medical facilities have long since installed deep freezers that can hold thousands of doses at a time.

+1

Planning the logistics of distributing this vaccine is already in the works. There is a lot of motivation to make this happen quickly and efficiently. I suspect it will. It is in everyone’s (businesses, politicians, vulnerable populations, etc.) best interest to get the vaccine out.

Same. Everyone talks about teachers quitting if forced to go back to the classroom. For many staying DL (or even worse going to hybrid) will drive me to quit and homeschool my own kids. We need to be back in the classroom full-time 2021-2022. If not, we will lose a lot of teachers that can handle the hit to HHI. School districts need to be setting up district-wide virtual academies for those families/staff that need DL. Let the brick and mortar school focus on in-person instruction.
