I offer this:



A reading from the Second Book of Samuel (Jackson)

“Knowest thou, for it is written in stone,
when plague stalks the land, stay the fuck home.”

Can I get an “Amen?”

-Laelth

5. The sad part is that many have no choice in the matter.

Including teachers and those of lower socioeconomic status.

6. Any that tell me they are, I just tell them to have a back-up plan....

because as soon as a couple of teachers or students in a district get COVID, they are going to shut it all down again.

7. I will be sending mine to school this fall if I can

Why?

They learn better in person and this virus is not going away. They will get a better education face to face, especially with developing social skills and interacting with other kids. There is so substitute for human contact, especially at a young age.

I have little confidence that a vaccine is even possible, let alone having one available and effective in the next year. Covid is not going to burn out, it has spread too widely. There are concerns that post infection immunity may be short lived, making herd immunity the old fashioned way also dubious.

We can't stay at home forever, we need to adapt and live again while taking all reasonable precautions. In other words we need to find a balance between caution and convenience.

That being said, mine will have their masks and will be in very deep trouble if they are not wearing them at all possible times. Let that be a lesson to all the damn Trumpers too, if a kindergartner can wear it, why can't mister tough guy?

8. Jackson might as well be talking about our country over the last 3.5 years.
