Yeah, district is still not requiring it regardless of the fed mandate. That's why I'm not gonna argue with DD12 walking instead of being crowded on a bus . The bus would pick her up with elementary kids, drop off the elementary kids, then drop her off at the middle school. Personally think the district is being too lax by dropping everything.
Crazy! I'd worry about the districts getting in trouble, but I'm not a superintendent either. Really good luck to you! Fortunately our buses aren't too crowded but we're still not sure we'll bus in the mornings. We might just bus afternoon on the days he comes home early. He's 1st stop.
Thank you for the unsolicited advice. I shall not leave my home ever again.
There are ways around it. There's testing, mask wearing, etc. All of which I'm perfectly willing to do.
A bit harsh? It's easy to judge when you are not the one who cannot do something.
And also, and I can't say this enough, people who medically can't get the vaccine are not the problem. We're the ones who've still been wearing our masks wherever we go to not spread it or catch it ourselves, and we usually have underlying health conditions so we don't want the virus. We've encouraged those around us to get the vaccine because we know heard immunity protects us.
No, it’s a stubborn rural-ish thing. Busses are private here, but mask optional next year.
Absolutely. I always acknowledge there are legit reasons to medically not vaccinated. Just like kids right now. Not mad at them. So I want all who can to vaccinate in order to protect those who cannot. It's the right thing to do. I really wish for your sake that you could, but I get it! I am sorry that your life is harder because those who won't try to help all.
Did you read their posts? It came across as an attack on them to me. Totally uncalled for given the situation.

I don't agree to deny but what do insurance companies do to punish dangerous and irresponsible drivers - raise their insurance premuims. For the anti-vaxers -make it more difficult for them to enjoy a night out etc, more fees tacked on as opposed to vaccinated crowd, and some are already doing so ( ie cruise lines extra fees , NYC requiring proof of vaccination to enjoy restaurants, gyms, etc ). Also to mention get the shot and or else lose your job as some companies are going down that road.
They’re going to drop just like the UK and India, but it won’t be next week. You’ll be going to Disney during a time when Florida has yet to reach its peak.
The slippery slope argument doesn't apply here. This is a global pandemic with variants that can kill people in a week or two, including young and previously healthy in large numbers who are also providers and caretakers of family members. The question then doesn't become anything. Covid-19 and now its variants have made the situation worse and will continue to do so without real mitigation measures which are easily available.
