Did anyone actually read the CDC Guidelines or just the meme going around?
Because that little nicely condensed meme looking thing isn't all that true if you actually read the document. I am not going to go bullet by bullet but for example the thing about masks says:
"face coverings may be challenging for students (especially younger students) to wear in an all day setting such as school. Face covering should be worn by staff and encouraged in students (particularly older students) if feasible and are most essential in times when physical distancing is difficult." It does NOT say masks should be worn all day by anyone over the age of two.
Do a little reading before screaming about how your leaving NY and homeschooling (which probably not one of you will do even though I hope you all do because then school will be less crowded for my kid)

Yes, it is on the CDC website. It is not just a meme.

I read the guidelines. The mask isn't even what bothers me. I know our family doctor would be more than willing to write a note exempting my kids from facial coverings. It's the loss of all socialization. No playground, no gym, no lunch, no extracurricular activities. I've been back and forth about homeschooling in the past. The lack of socialization at home was a big issue for me. With this "new normal" that won't be an issue anymore. There are no dances, no field day, no field trips, no assemblies for my kids to be missing out on. I can provide a safer environment at home now by bringing the teachers to me.
I'd be careful what you wish for. Our districts taxes are so high, it is a deterrent for new families looking to buy. Despite being a very highly rated district, we've had declining enrollment for the past few years and they've closed 2 schools. Less people in the area means less people paying taxes. Closing schools means we lose a lot of great teachers too.
Property values on LI are based highly on school districts and what they offer our kids. The exact same size house and property a few miles from our house goes for over 150k less. I love our district and the small community, but if the guidelines are going to be the new normal. there is no reason to stay. Just moving a couple towns over I would save thousands a year. Moving off LI, I can save a lot more. The property I'm looking at now has taxes of 2000 for the year  and that's considered high for that area lmao. That's over 20k a year in savings.
Moving off LI, I could retire a lot earlier. I can work remotely and make the same money elsewhere. If I'm going to home school, I might as well do it in a cheaper area. Everyone moving doesn't really benefit you as much as you'd think.

Did anyone actually read the CDC Guidelines or just the meme going around?
I did a search for it and just skimmed it. The funny part is that the CDC doesn't really dictate anything. It's a lot of suggestions that they've been saying all along. Stuff like wearing masks to protect others, keep 6 feet away. They're really not saying that you can't open schools without it. They're recommending that, ideally, you should minimize contact. The CDC says to follow local regulations.
Honestly, I think schools are going to re-open in September in as close to "normal" as possible. They'll have sanitizer for all kids and in the hallways, etc. They won't have the little kids holding hands when walking in the hallway. They'll try to separate the desks as much as possible, etc, etc. But, really, I think it will just be like before.

After I saw the meme I heard there were more details so I went back and read it.

Oh, how I hope you are right. But, NYC/LI can't even get into phase 1. At this rate will be in complete lockdown until December anyway.

Re: Did anyone actually read the CDC Guidelines or just the meme going around?
yes I did and as usual they are not very clear as there are 2 different documents to reference.
I do find them unrealistic and though they are guidelines I see Cuomo taking them to the extreme and requiring tings that are not going to be possible.
No matter what I have no choice to send my kids to school and accept whatever they do because I will not home school i dont want to and frankly dont have time to but that doesn't mean i am not going to express my concerns and not contact whoever i have to tell them that.
Nothing will be acceptable to me until my kids can go back to school like normal. (though i have no objections making them wash hands frequently and having things washed down more often they should have been doing that all along).
Its not ok to not have assemblies, recess, gym etc.
It no ok for kids not To not be able to leave their classrooms basically for anything.
And it really will not be ok at all if the proposal is to have half days every other day school. that might be worse then the guidelines!

Yet some many ppl take it as law. The evil eye u get from ppl when they see u not wearing a mask. Police getting involved when ppl are not wearing it. Neighbors calling the police on each other...

Exactly and the CDC aren’t suggesting guidelines per geographical region. It’s a guideline for everyone. Example: Educations systems aren’t built the same in every state, heck it’s not even the same with in NY State, so how can we follow the same guidelines then a farm town in Illinois. It’s not a one sized fits all approach.

This! We live in a good town and 1 school have already closed down since we moved here (before covid). I can only imagine the same happening because of the measurements NY is taking due to the virus.
Families moving out of LI or homeschooling has been indeed happening already throughout the state! I homeschool my kids not because I wanted to but because it was the only option the government left us with and I personally know many ppl in the same situation. We’re looking to move to SC in about 5 yrs or so but if NY keeps declining like it has been, our move will happen much faster.

Re: Did anyone actually read the CDC Guidelines or just the meme going around?
I am confused by healthy people who have no problem saying that the old and infirm should just stay inside, but think that anyone whose doctor writes a note has a right to be in relatively populated places, like schools and stores, without a mask. Why wouldn't it be advisable for those who can't wear a mask to stay in as well?

I mean if we're being honest here, I don't think any kids should be wearing masks all day. To answer your question though, my kids are perfectly healthy, but they do have sensitive skin. They can wear a mask for 20 mins tops before their skin turns red and starts to get hives. They wouldn't last the entire day in school. I'm going by vaccine logic here when I say my kids wouldn't have to wear masks. By vaccine logic, I mean my kids are immunized to protect themselves and to help protect those that can't be immunized. So theoretically, all the other kids wearing masks will protect themselves and help protect the ones that can't wear masks. Makes sense to me unless I'm missing something.
I still say the immunocompromised and the elderly should stay inside if they don't want to get sick. That applies to covid, the flu, or even the common cold. I'm responsible for protecting myself and my children, I'm not responsible for the behavior of 80 yr old Barbara that simply wants to go browse Dollar Tree in the midst of a pandemic.

You literally said others will protect your kids because they’re wearing masks and then in the next paragraph say f the 80 year old it’s not up to me to protect her. So other people should protect your kids but screw everyone else. Want to make sure I have that right.

I literally started that by saying I don't think any kids should be wearing masks at all. After all this, I no longer think it's anyone's responsibility to protect anyone else.

I definitely didn't mean to make it sound like I actually think my kids need protection, I can assure you they don't. We had covid before it was a thing.

The doctor said he has a lot of patients that are now confirmed cases in Dec. We caught it from somewhere and all the kids in school that come into contact with my kids have already been exposed... going at least as far back as Dec 8th when my youngest was diagnosed with pneumonia.

Wow...December. So it was here and in schools and everywhere for at least 3 months before anyone even knew it.
It's crazy that people had it for months and there were no mass casualties and then all of a sudden in late March - BOOM - and thousands were in hospitals.
Maybe last Fall was the first wave and this Spring was already the second wave!

I had a feeling it was around for longer than they thought. Trust me, that shit was going around schools, unchecked, long before they shut them down.
All that maskless contact...all the gym classes, recess on the playground and lunch in the cafeteria.
We probably didn't know about it because the symptoms were mistaken for something else in most kids.

Exactly, I feel so bad because my one kid was coughing well into Jan. Who knows how many people it was spread to. We were told it was asthma (after he had pneumonia). Obviously he stayed home when he was sick, but after he finished the antibiotics and a couple weeks went by, they said there was no way he was contagious and just use the inhaler to stop the cough. My other kid barely got sick, just had a cough. He didn't miss any school. That cough lasted a long time. So many people around us were sick around the same time as we were, but no one tested positive for the flu.

My daughter had a dry cough that lasted like a month from mid Feb on. Just as schools were about to close DH was like, wow she's had that cough awhile.
She's never sick so it was unusual. But it was more a nagging, annoying thing and she wasn't sick. No fever etc so we shrugged it off.
I often wonder if she had it.
Who knows?

I'm curious how your doctor can definitively diagnose COVID though. Couldn't it be possible that they recently had COVID and were asymptomatic.
We had a bad sickness that went through our household to back in January and have had the thought that we may have already been exposed.
