Making money the old-fashion way - by commuting to work with the kids in school - and even if unsafe for children and others - is better than doing nothing. But doing nothing is not the only alternative. Did you notice who died today from Covid-19? Herman Cain- the "9-9-9" former candidate for President who got the virus a few weeks ago at a TRUMP RALLY. Do you know what harm is done to the organs of many virus carriers who never even notice symptoms of disease? August is no time to pile children into schools with hundreds or thousands of students. But we have been taught that money talks and death is inevitable. Death and suffering and incapacity. Oh well. Have a nice day.

Glad to see that many schools are implementing proper measures to protect against the virus and are now ready to reopen. These kids will be getting a first-class education, unlike the kids staying home.

It's a real shame that it is August 1 in 2 days and the state, county, and nation for that matter have little agreement about how to educate kids in this pandemic. The schools on the other hand know best how to safely handle their kids, and should therefore be given autonomy, especially since they are private. You want to begin protesting something different than what we've seen? Let's start marching in front of city halls demanding our kids get their lives and in-person education back.

Everything must stop as we shelter in place, including education. That is what Sara Cody is telling us. The virus is sneaky and we are in the same situation we were in in March. So no work, no business, no schools no nothing u til we have herd immunity or a vaccine. SCC health knows what is best for all of us. We should sit quietly and obey.

"Pressure from the parents?" So what? They're not doctors! We have layer upon layer on layer of health experts and educators. Homeschoolers don't know better than health experts!

The arguments for socialization make sense for very young children and I can support that. However, they are less relevant for older children. And as a neighbor on a school street, I wonder about older children walking (unsupervised) to and from, and whether they will behave well with respect to virus protections. They may expose each other, their families, as well as people along their path.

Even if there was daily testing at school entries, tests are not 100% accurate, and the virus takes time to develop enough to be detected. So someone can be exposed and have the virus evolving internally, while undetected. As a result, individuals can spread the virus and there is no way to have groups with true assurance of safety.

I hope these measures will protect the kids. And I hope that pandemic will be over soon. I am so tired of it.
