"If there is a major resurgence of the pandemic, the political will for the harshest virus mitigation measures has largely evaporated even in the most liberal parts of the country, which have been the most open to restrictions, experts say.

“The threshold to shut things down is going to be much higher than it was,” said Robert Wachter, who chairs the Department of Medicine at the University of California at San Francisco. “One of the durable takeaway lessons is that the closing of schools is really a terrible thing to do and should be avoided at all costs.”"

Amen. Kids need in-person school. We will be ok. Mask and vaccinate.

Different teacher.

Kids don't "need" in-person school. It is a "nice to have" not a "must have." Do parents "need" childcare? Yes. That's the reason why schools may stay open even after kids and teachers start to die.

There is no vaccine yet that is effective against Omicron.

No one listens to Fauci.

I'm sorry to hear that having your kids home every day for almost two years has melted your brain. It's understandable. And preventable, by sending your kids to school, which is where they belong.

I love having them at home and will miss them when they go back. When people like you can behave more responsible or the schools handle covid better, we'll consider returning. I'm sorry you don't love your kids enough to have them home. Maybe you shouldn't have had kids if you cannot handle having them around.

Schools are safe. For kids and for their family. If you want testing, they're doing that too. Your absurd post shows the deleterious effects of being locked down for extended periods of time.

No, schools are not safe. Most aren't following the CDC guidelines including testing and social distancing. Most have 35+ students to a classroom and in MS and HS those kids rotate classes. Many are only doing opt in testing and its random so out of 1000 students maybe 50 are tested and its the same kids all the time as any parent who is engaging in risky behavior isn't going to opt in.

Slow painful death on the regular it’s a nothing burger. Now, why haven’t spring break tix dropped yet?!

The sad thing about the bolded is PP actually thinks she loves her kids more than those of us who send them to school. I absolutely cannot believe people like this exist.
