Yes, you expect much more than some around here. The rest of us expect schools to suck.
Also people with things going on that they put off having checked out.
During the spring of 20, hospitals were clamped down to only Covid cases and emergency procedures. Anything elective/preventative was cancelled. No mammograms, colonoscopies, etc
Waitā¦.what?
I was just saying that there has been a decrease in cancer screenings during the pandemic. Is that due to lockdowns specifically? Not sure?? Potentially but I would need to look into that further.
Like what?
It varied by location. My husband had both a colonoscopy and elective surgery in 2020.
I have done that before. Not going to provide any further examples from what I previously stated around here because when I do, they are either ignored or ridiculed. Despite the fact that some have led to high attendance from students and teachers, and never had to close doors due to outbreaks or teacher shortages. Seems like we should be ridiculing the schools that have to continue to close, or just close preemptively.

True to a point. Some Northern states went in this direction. Other states did not.
Call what you want but sanity is not it.Denver lets mask mandate expire
The City and County of Denver did not extend the public health order that requires masks in public indoor spaces.
Slowly but surely sanity is returning.
I would assume people planning April trips will be in the clear.

It says specifically in the article that the decision was made in conjunction with the health department.

16 out of 400 something schools went virtual for 2 weeks, all in the same district. So are they doing it right or wrong? They just blew off the 300+ that are open and didnāt use that when closing the 16?
They actually did change the strategy based on feedback and nuance. They started with a single metric, realized it would have sent 200+ schools virtual and changed to a more nuanced wholistic approach using many factors. Still ended up with some over stretched. Parents upset theyāre not virtual. Parents upset they are virtual. Different levels of ability to do virtual, so they have different levels of support available. Basically, theyāre doomed if the do anything, and doomed if they do nothing and just sit people in the gym all day as they run out of staff. Theyāre also doomed when the run out of staff and doomed if they had so much extra staff the budget was wasted. Itās a lose lose scenario.
And these seem to be reacting appropriately. Unless you want that Mississippi one (I think) where they just closed 30+ schools because they couldnāt keep them open. They had no mitigation and when it failed to prevent staffing issues, they just closed for a while.
16 a few weeks ago. Another 4 recently. More before that batch of 16. All within less than a month. Soā¦doing it wrong. Their metrics and plan stinks.
In your mind there should no shut down of schools?
No, 16 as of right now, today, this minute, not a few weeks ago. Started 2 weeks on 1/20 so itās almost done. Hasnāt been another announcement since then.
It would be nice if we had infinite subs to backfill teachers, bus drivers, other staff thatās out while infectious. It would also be nice if the school had an infinite budget without increasing my taxes. Neither is going to happen though.
