I really want our schools to open up and I was hopeful until I am experiencing a very slow reopening of my NYS region (not a hot spot). I realize now we’ve gone from “slow the spread” to “nobody must get sick.”
I just don’t see how it could possibly work as students and staff start to get sick once the next season comes. When we add Covid19 with Influenza, common cold, Strep, Mono, and everything else we get all winter I don’t see how this could work. The minute someone is sick, they will need to stay home until we know it isn’t CV. There won’t even be enough staff. My state doesn’t seem willing to live with the virus but rather wants us to shelter from it so I see school as a no-go.
Everything has been cancelled for summer. My teenager’s planned job is gone. I really feel for the younger folks who are giving up so much.
I want it to open and for us to go on. I would prefer to see the vulnerable shelter going forward.
