The best way to keep schools open for in-school learning is to require masks. I will note that every single school system that has shutdown in under a week while trying to re-open for fall semester had one thing in common - they did not required masks. As noted in recent posts in this thread — all were overwhelmed in under a week & shut down. I will note that none of these school systems were unionized either. So either - mask up and stay open. Or don’t and get forced to remote immediately.
So you're acknowledging they lied when we were told the vaccine was the pathway to unmasking? Got it. I'm telling you masks or no masks, vaccine or no vaccine, these rolling lockdowns will continue in schools and businesses. They are here to stay, and so is the drum beat of we are in a "health crisis". Gives them the ultimate power they have always dreamed of and they are not going to give that up, ever.
What do all of these school re-opening failures all have in common? No masks. Plus typically the states have low vaccination rates. Nearly 300 new COVID-19 cases, 550 in quarantine at Orange County Public Schools https://www.wesh.com/article/new-covid-cases-quarantine-orange-county-public-schools/37332085
As Delta Variant Surges in Louisiana, Over 3,000 New Orleans Students and Staff Quarantine https://www.newsweek.com/delta-vari...new-orleans-students-staff-quarantine-1620243 Note; This is the first reported school district with widespread COVID quarantines which actually requires masks -- however Louisiana has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the nation.
I remember Lord Fauci telling us once we got 60 to 70 percent of the population vaccinated we'd be free from masks. Now it's everyone? In what fucking delusional world will 100 percent of the population be onboard with anything, let alone a vaccine? Again, this never goes away. They'll just keep moving the goalposts.
Welcome to the Delta variant -- which will need a over 90% vaccination rate to reach herd immunity -- thanks to it being 2-3 times more infectious than the original COVID. Public Health guidance will change as variants evolve -- just the way it is. You want to get back to normal? Well then get everyone vaccinated asap -- this is our path back to a normal life.
From March 13th, 2020 : Here you are looking at 41 dead complaining about restrictions that a good number of you failed to follow leading to 600,000 dead. You were so clueless. You remain clueless. Go ahead keep whining like a little baby you stlll aren't coping well.
Another path to get there... Those that are not vaccinated either die off or survive with Natural Immunity for a short while until the next Variant of Concern shows up to finish the job like a tag team wrestling that the prior Variant of Concern wasn't able to do. You can then reach a high number of the remaining (surviving) population being vaccinated because those not vaccinated will have decreased substantially via Darwinism. wrbtrader
