    So they started classes in person this week for the first time since March.  They just announced that next week will be the last of in school for 2020.  Full remote again starting on the 30th.  

    I'm sure some parents are going to go on the warpath.  Wouldn't want to be the administration folks here.

    God that sucks.  Why even start them up?
    Yeah, right?  They announced they had 36 next cases in kids and then out them in.
    A week later they announce they are out.
    This is Cherry Hill or Marlton? Terrible decision by admin.

    Toronto is back on lockdown.  No financial support for those being laid off.  I would have given our premier a B two weeks ago.  I give him a D after this bs.  And apparently loud music gets this virus infecting people...

    Sounds ridiculous and first I heard of it but wonder if it has to do with people having to get close and yell while talking if the music is too loud?

    Yes, that's exactly the reason. Same in BC. The point is that people shouldn't have to shout over music, and don't have an excuse to lower their masks (if wearing masks; depends on if they're eating or drinking I guess). The bars and restaurants aren't supposed to have tvs blaring either.

    Someone taped flyers on the most of the windows of shops regarding corona-virus restriction on Main St. recently.  I don't have one but it basically said "We don't need government telling us what to do.  Don't let them tell you what to do with your business.  Don't tell you customers what to do.  We are all responsible adults.  We can take care of ourselves."

    The "you are all responsible adults" part really cracked me up.  Yeah, ah huh.  Right.  That's why everything is going so well with COVID, right?  :lol:  

    And then there are these notices from local sheriffs offices:

    “The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office will not be determining—including entering any home or business—compliance with, or enforcing compliance of, any health or emergency orders related to curfews, staying at home, Thanksgiving or other social gatherings inside or outside the home, maximum occupancy, or mask mandates.”


    "El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office deputies will not be determining compliance with, or enforcing the compliance of, any health order related to this curfew. The Sheriff’s Office will not prevent Thanksgiving activities, maximum occupancies, or mask wearing mandates at social gatherings within the County of El Dorado."

    Brilliant, just brilliant.

    who said it was proven the virus doesn't spread in schools? all I've seen is anecdotal evidence (mine included). 
    Nobody did.

    Nobody said it was proven, but it was stated with extreme confidence that transmission wasn't occuring in school.  The point was that not having recorded cases of in school transmission is not the same as not having transmission. 
    There are a ton of factors at play here and many, if not most, local health authorities are unable to conduct the contact tracing that would identify spread through asymptomatic, pre-symptomatic, and untruthful individuals.

    The number of people who are quietly spreading and not getting tested is terrifying...people don't want the attention of a positive test and notifying people they've been in contact with and more than that, people don't want to quarantine when they didn't get very ill.  Double that for teens in sports and their parents.

    If I had a nickel for everyone in my community who tested positive but "always wore a mask and was not in close contact with anyone outside the home"...I'd have a nice little fortune.

    No people were just stating current situations in the schools they knew. Takes some mental gymnastics to assume that means transmission doesn’t happen in schools

    No, it doesn't.  That was the implication...the ever insidious, "maybe happens somewhere else but not here" syndrome.
    That being said, I do think some districts are probably doing much better than others due to intelligent and conscientious populations, and I'm inclined to believe Canadians fit that condition more readily than Americans.

    Yes, I would agree.  I also think that they are having higher levels of undetected spread than they are willing to accept and admit, as well.

    Well you inspired me to Google search.

    https://www.npr.org/2020/10/21/925794511/were-the-risks-of-reopening-schools-exaggerated

    I think grouping all schools together is pretty hard, cause as was mentioned, ones with more $ and households that aren’t multigenerational or even just smaller are going to be the ones that have a better chance at managing the situation.

    ive also been at work the entire time and we have not had spread in our plant. Not once. Does that mean it won’t happen, hell no. It does show that distancing, masks, cleaning help a lot
