I live here and don’t know what or who to believe! It’s constant doom and gloom from local media......Dallas area......seems since mandatory masks and bar shut downs, the numbers have gone up! Then I heard the testing numbers are 10 days behind. 2 teachers in my family are saying no way to keep virus from spreading in schools. But, they’re due back on Aug.4. 70% of parents want kids back in school. So.....schools will open and most likely have to close again. It’s difficult for patents who both work.
They cancel the state fair but open schools?

Heard on the radio today there is a dispute regarding kids. Some say they don’t spread it. The “radio expert” said Switzerland is considering not even testing kids because there is no point.
The Democrat cities are spreading fear. Infections aren’t deaths!

Summer camps may be one way to get an idea what to expect. Some have experienced outbreaks and had to close, but I don’t how many camps have opened as a total across the US.

I completely agree it’s a real challenge figuring out the schools thing. From what I’ve heard from parents with school age kids, that whole distance learning thing was pretty much garbage. And the kids missed out on a lot of socialization that they really need. So on the one hand, the kids really need to be in school.
On the other, the chances that they’ll keep all the social distancing and sanitation requirements is basically nil, especially for the younger ones. But parents need to be able to work. And kids need to be around kids. So I think that’s a risk/reward calculation they need to make and personally it seems like getting them back in school is worth the risk of additional spread. Maybe I’m crazy for thinking that. Don’t know.
Nurses say there aren’t more hospitalizations FOR corona. They count any hospitalization For ANYTHING with a positive test as a corona case even if not sick with it.
