Everyone wants normal life back but it's really not as simple as "open it all up". The notion that we can open it all up and trust people to do the right thing is wishful thinking.
We're not on lockdown, most things are open in some capacity and soon enough we'll get to a point where life will be more normal. We have to give the vaccines a chance to do their job.
Again FL is mostly open, as well as other states. Let’s see how TX and MI do.
CA is locked down and their numbers are not going down.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7news.com/amp/california-covid-19-cases-decline-latest-bay-area/10360615/
California cases are down drastically from the December and January surge.
Florida also has the most varient cases in the US.
And, new york is pretty open. People act like we are in strict lockdown.
I am not sure why people keep whining about opening the schools, schools have been open since September. Most things are open, just not venues which draw large crowds together. I am sick of COVID but it's certainly a thousand times better than this time last year.
We're very lucky here about schools. I count my blessings daily that my daughter has been in school, in person, full time since Sept. And now she said they are even starting to allow them to leave the class for specials like art and gym- earlier in the year the specials would come to them and it was hard on the kids never getting to leave the classroom all day.
And the middle and high schools are starting to be allowed back every day too- no more hybrid.
Yes phasing them in but they haven’t had full time school for a year now. It is affecting them badly.

Because some schools are still not open. And many kids aren't going to school much at all. My one son (in 3rd grade) just got a 3rd day a week and my other son (in 5th grade) will be starting 3 days every other week next week. So to me, although they are open, I don't think that's good enough.
Agreed. I am concerned for my own kid as hybrid and even live stream is not good for many of the kids.

Why can some schools be open and not others in the same state?

Live stream is garbage. Anything other than in person every day is nothing but garbage. I don't give a shit how they spin it.
It's subpar education and it's a disgrace

What I cannot understand is we live in a small, more rural town now and our district is so small. (10-11 kids per class) We have had next to no cases of COVID or deaths here but they still aren't back for a full day, it's frustrating. If cases were really high and there were many instances of COVID in the school I would understand, but nothing is going on around here. Hopefully soon they change the school hours.

Yeah that is not right. My DD has 17 kids in her class and they have been in since Sept every day and no spikes or anything. It's just so random how they figure this all out. And not fair.

Very random. I don't know what metrics the schools are using to determine who gets to go back and for how long every week. At this point, I am just looking ahead and hoping that in September it's all back to normal with the schools.

In other news, the NYC variant has went from 12% of tested samples to 26% in one week. It is all over NY state, as well as in several states and countries. We don't know enough yet to know if it's a true variant of concern. But yes, let's open everything 100% and hope for the best. As long as the scared stay home, everything will be fine. I fear what happens when some of these people experience the terror and loss that comes with covid. Maybe then they will get it.
But, did all the restrictions really work in the first place? No...they did not...they just slowed the progress of the virus to allow medical workers to catch up. A year into - there are safe guards and protocols in place that allow the public to be out in a "safer" environment.
I have lost people to CoVid. I have been scared of getting it. I am also so sad and detached. My children's health is suffering.

My 3rd grader is doing a lot better than I expected but he still needs assistance with things (like he needs me to take pics of all the work he has to submit as the chromebook camera sucks - so I am constantly interrupted at work). It's not working well for my 5th grader. He needs verbal feedback in person so I monitor his classroom comments to give them to him verbally so he knows what he needs to do.
I also work full time. Which now I do 7 days a week since I get interrupted most Thurs and Fri (which is why I'm on here now as I know I have pics to take).

Exactly and idk why people keep saying schools are open. No maybe your kids school is open but there are many many schools that are still full remote or crap hybrid model. This is over a year later where they have said schools aren’t the issue with research and data gathered from schools that are open.
My son is hybrid and he goes more than most but I am not going to say life is back to normal and kids are in school based off of my situation alone.
There are still a lot of limitations and schools are one of them and it’s total bull crap. And as I said many many times before my communities and my people are the ones being impacted the most by these limitations. How come no one is ever woke about these things? But let’s discuss Mr. / Mrs. Potato some more.
Eta: also let’s not forget the crap that was Hurricane Sandy. .. the tri-state area sucked with that. I compare Texas and the Country’s actions on their ice storms to how we handled Hurricane Sandy. Or the little storm in 2019 that we didn’t prepare for and caused major accidents in the bridges and tunnels. Delaying commuters, that it took 8hrs for people to get home. All because we didn’t salt the roads and prepare for it.

It is and I am getting tired of listening to some of these teachers. Some don’t show up, some just say go do this work. Work that is WAY more than they would be doing in the class so the kids are falling behind.

You need to turn off the TV and stay away from the fear mongering media for a bit. You will thank yourself and be a little more relaxed.
Call it whatever you want. But I am telling you the writing is on the wall for a new wave of restrictions.
I disagree that there will be a new wave of restrictions. I think things will continue to open up. Things are opening up slowly but that’s the direction where everything is heading. I think people who fear for a new wave of restrictions could be suffering from ptsd.

In other news, the NYC variant has went from 12% of tested samples to 26% in one week. It is all over NY state, as well as in several states and countries. We don't know enough yet to know if it's a true variant of concern. But yes, let's open everything 100% and hope for the best. As long as the scared stay home, everything will be fine. I fear what happens when some of these people experience the terror and loss that comes with covid. Maybe then they will get it.
You need to turn off the TV and stay away from the fear mongering media for a bit. You will thank yourself and be a little more relaxed.
Call it whatever you want. But I am telling you the writing is on the wall for a new wave of restrictions.
I disagree that there will be a new wave of restrictions. I think things will continue to open up. Things are opening up slowly but that’s the direction where everything is heading. I think people who fear for a new wave of restrictions could be suffering from ptsd.
Soon the only ones with no restrictions will be those who can “show their papers” aka the excelsior pass. Talk about history repeating itself. Show your papers if you want to live life - don’t follow what the government says and you can not live your life. Welcome to the new America.

Exactly and idk why people keep saying schools are open. No maybe your kids school is open but there are many many schools that are still full remote or crap hybrid model. This is over a year later where they have said schools aren’t the issue with research and data gathered from schools that are open.
My son is hybrid and he goes more than most but I am not going to say life is back to normal and kids are in school based off of my situation alone.
There are still a lot of limitations and schools are one of them and it’s total bull crap. And as I said many many times before my communities and my people are the ones being impacted the most by these limitations. How come no one is ever woke about these things? But let’s discuss Mr. / Mrs. Potato some more.
Eta: also let’s not forget the crap that was Hurricane Sandy. .. the tri-state area sucked with that. I compare Texas and the Country’s actions on their ice storms to how we handled Hurricane Sandy. Or the little storm in 2019 that we didn’t prepare for and caused major accidents in the bridges and tunnels. Delaying commuters, that it took 8hrs for people to get home. All because we didn’t salt the roads and prepare for it.
Agreed - I think the people most upset are the people with middle and high school kids who are not back at school full time.
Also I brought that up yesterday. I don't know anyone that lives in NY that can talk about the problems in Texas. Our electrical infrastructure is probably one of the worst out there!

They also are not prepared down south for snow and ice storms. That is why their taxes are so low. They don’t need to pay for these resources.

People are sheep and will follow whatever they are told. Look at the get tested and get tested often (even if you don’t feel sick but because the tv told me so) and the lining up for vaccines that no one knows how often you will need them nor if they will stop you from getting the virus.

Everyone wants normal life back but it's really not as simple as "open it all up". The notion that we can open it all up and trust people to do the right thing is wishful thinking.
We're not on lockdown, most things are open in some capacity and soon enough we'll get to a point where life will be more normal. We have to give the vaccines a chance to do their job.
Again FL is mostly open, as well as other states. Let’s see how TX and MI do.
CA is locked down and their numbers are not going down.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/abc7news.com/amp/california-covid-19-cases-decline-latest-bay-area/10360615/
California cases are down drastically from the December and January surge.
Florida also has the most varient cases in the US.
And, new york is pretty open. People act like we are in strict lockdown.
I am not sure why people keep whining about opening the schools, schools have been open since September. Most things are open, just not venues which draw large crowds together. I am sick of COVID but it's certainly a thousand times better than this time last year.
Because some schools are still not open. And many kids aren't going to school much at all. My one son (in 3rd grade) just got a 3rd day a week and my other son (in 5th grade) will be starting 3 days every other week next week. So to me, although they are open, I don't think that's good enough.
And that's another thing that is bullshitt with this whole disaster. Why are districts in the same state open, others hybrid, others remote? Why is my DD in school full time since Sept and others in elementary are not? There needs to be consistency throughout the state. It's not fair. Why can some schools be open and not others in the same state?
What I cannot understand is we live in a small, more rural town now and our district is so small. (10-11 kids per class) We have had next to no cases of COVID or deaths here but they still aren't back for a full day, it's frustrating. If cases were really high and there were many instances of COVID in the school I would understand, but nothing is going on around here. Hopefully soon they change the school hours.
Yeah that is not right. My DD has 17 kids in her class and they have been in since Sept every day and no spikes or anything. It's just so random how they figure this all out. And not fair.
Very random. I don't know what metrics the schools are using to determine who gets to go back and for how long every week. At this point, I am just looking ahead and hoping that in September it's all back to normal with the schools.
School situation is a disgrace. If they can allow for in person instruction then they should. A lot of the schools being remote or hybrid is related to politics and unions. Look at where schools haven’t been opened for in person schooling....

I guess people already forgot the major power outrage we had last summer and how long it took for people to get electricity back.

Couldn’t agree more. The education system was already struggling big time in these communities. I cannot even imagine how much more it’s negatively impacting them for a whole year now. The system and those in power are seriously failing to provide a fair education and a fair shot at their future.

And then again, maybe not. I got a text from a friend last night to let me know her FIL passed from Covid - two weeks after her MIL passed from Covid. She already had two aunts in nursing homes die from Covid.
Between the aunts and in-laws passing from Covid she has . . . gone in through the back door in April 2020 (and every six weeks like clockwork since) to get her hair done, made sure to get her manicures, gone out to dinner weekly, had guests to her house - both indoor and outdoor - etc, etc. And when I refused to come to her house for a visit, she gave me attitude and told me "we are all going to die sometime" and I should just get over it and come hang out.
