It seems like we dodged a bullet here with school reopenings, at least for now. The numbers were creeping up (my kids' school publishes active cases among students and faculty), and then dropped, along with the general drop in cases.
Of course, the way things have been going, the less cautious approach generally means the next wave (which will be in two months, or around December) will be worse. Or will be WAY worse when if this inevitably mutates - because that's what viruses constantly do - to affect younger persons more virulently, or spread among them more. You're allowing a virulent illness with a demonstrated propensity to mutate rapidly linger in the population... this is almost inevitable.
It's amusing that we're now 22 months into this in the U.S. and the same people who've been wrong from day one, insisting this was nothing to worry about, we're overreacting, it's not more deadly than the flu, not more virulent, the cautious were "sheep" or "pussies," any government actions to mitigate the spread are "tyranny"... and despite being consistently wrong, and only being able to think in terms of absolutes in the immediate present, rather than probabilities and future outcomes... they're still at it!
My uncle and cousin just got it. My uncle is really sick, but not at the verge of checking himself into the hospital yet. My cousin has a milder case, but couldn't go to the hospital for the birth of his child & his wife, who is positive but asymptomatic has been told by the hospital staff to keep a mask on while holding her baby. Of course the un-cautious "science believers" would deride that as stupid. What are the chances the baby gets sick and dies, right? Fuck it. Better to own the libs by telling the doctors to buzz off and doing what ever they want. it's a free country.
