We were told that they (school) are hearing a vaccine for kids will be ready to go by the end of the summer but I don't think I've heard much on that front.

No, we are not in DC but I guess what I'm saying is - don't assume that adults getting vaccinated means you are all returning full time unless your school has specifically communicated as much to you.

I'm actually curious if anyone else who posts here, no matter where you live, are in fact being told that by your school directly. We're in private FWIW.

People want so they assume and demand. It goes by numbers, not vaccinations. Vaccinations will help get the numbers down but its going to take a while. I would suspect at best we will be in hybrid in the fall.

Numbers have already peaked and are headed down.

And, come spring break and easter, they will head right back up.

That's actually not how it works, doomer.

Easter is not nearly as big of a holiday as Christmas and Thanksgiving, so I don't think it will be as big of a problem as anticipated.

But Spring Break is. You don't remember Trump's 'by Memorial Day this will be over' and all of a sudden numbers were cresting into the tens of thousands?

Seems laughable now but not so much when you consider 'only' 25 million people in this country have been infected. We have a population of 330 million.

In other words we haven't even hit 10% of the population to infect.
