Thank you for that. I'll let my buddy know that his daughter is faking the ague, loss of smell and taste and her 7 YO who was learning in a petri dish has nothing to do with it. (sarcasm font)
So maybe, instead of just shutting down, or doing online learning and trying to stick a freaking under-10-year old in front of an electronic device all freaking day (oh wait, isn't that horrible for their development? i guess that doesn't matter anymore)
Take the measures that experts have been suggesting since the beginning and implement them. I hear there are a few billions of dollars that have not been spent. We're not denying that kids can't get it and can't spread it. But we can definitely make the space safer to reduce spread. You know, like they do in arenas for sport ball watching.
Not all kids have parents that stick them in front of a device for hours. My grandkids have a structured day of online learning split with fieldwork doing things like owl watches.
Now i wonder when they'll put a deadline on 2 shots being deemed insufficient.
They're already allowing immunocompromised to get a 4th shot...how many more do we do before we're good to go?
No evidence healthy kids, adolescents need COVID-19 boosters, WHO chief scientist says
The World Health Organization's chief scientist said on Tuesday there was currently no evidence that healthy children and adolescents need booster doses of COVID-19 vaccine.www.ctvnews.ca
Yeah and i think that's where our biggest problem resides.While that may be true the real reason for this statement might have more to do with the “W” in WHO and the global vaccine supply issues right now. Some countries are having a job getting first doses let alone third.
We’re never going to get out of this until the world gets jabbed.While that may be true the real reason for this statement might have more to do with the “W” in WHO and the global vaccine supply issues right now. Some countries are having a job getting first doses let alone third.

Frankly I think any country that has had their boosters completed should send their supply to third world and impoverished countries to get this thing moving. Pipe dream I know….
100% agree. But the First World is the one that can, and will, pay for the jabs to their citizens. Third world countries may not be able to financially cover the doses. Where will the suppliers send their goods? To the paying customers of course.The only way we get global travel back to normal is by sharing too. Otherwise one country, through no fault of their own usually, will be a pariah at some point or another.
One point on which I agree with you.The only way we get global travel back to normal is by sharing too. Otherwise one country, through no fault of their own usually, will be a pariah at some point or another.

I don't need you and your mild sniffle, that will be full blown covid in two days, on top of me.
That's awesome! We do our best to get the kids out during the day when they're home. Thankfully the older one went back to school today.Not all kids have parents that stick them in front of a device for hours.

It helps that Mom is a biologist and Dad is a professor of ornithology.That's awesome! We do our best to get the kids out during the day when they're home. Thankfully the older one went back to school today.
Younger one is limited by grandma's health during the day, but we try to minimize screen time where possible. Although it does make life easier.

I wasn't too pleased when our daughter took environmental sciences in u of w. And signed up for co-op programs in Costa Rica. But i was very wrong. Her education led her to work for a local co. Natural Resource Solutions.They'd get along with my daughter well. She's just finishing 3 years of College and headed off for 2 years of University next year to come out with a Bachelor in Conservation Biology or something like that.
God, I hope she can get a job after it's all said and done.
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth. 18 year old mom, 19 year old dad, booth with vocational high school education, both raised in by blue collar parents. They were taught to work hard (work ethic), to be resilient under pressure and to deal with challenges head.So maybe, instead of just shutting down, or doing online learning and trying to stick a freaking under-10-year old in front of an electronic device all freaking day (oh wait, isn't that horrible for their development? i guess that doesn't matter anymore)
