We need more attention on this sort of story (COVID) (Page 1/1) TheDigitalAlchemist AUG 06, 01:38 PM Minimize the politics and armchair doctoring, stick to what is actually happening according to first hand witnesses such as this person: https://www.sfgate.com/opin...-seeing-16362541.php It's not even the start of the school year for most, but I know of several kids that started already and have had to stay home (for a week or 14 days) due to other kids being sick, or they themselves were sick. younger kids can't even get the shot(s) even if their parents wanted them to. This fall is going to be a serious mess. Kids get sick normally, and getting tested and a doc note every few weeks is going to suck hard, its not easy or even an option for some parents to take a day off (or multiple days) from work to care for their sick kid and/or take them to the doc... Wearing masks most of the day sucks for kids and teachers. and they don't help much, especially if they aren't worn by everyone in the room. and young kids don't want to wear them. I have to wear them on the trains and at work, and its becoming difficult.

The sooner you recognize that your kids are not yours, but in fact are property of the state, the sooner all of these problems can go away... the Government can handle all this for us!

I'm fortunate enough to have a good career for the last 30 years that allows my wife to stay at home and be a "Teacher".
