I work in education (administrator for a University). It astounds me that roughly half-way through March we were sent home to work remotely and our University joined many others in transitioning to online, yet there's a renewed push to get all of us back in-person in August. I'm sure some won't agree with my opinion, and that's fine. I recognize that there really isn't an easy answer here. But our confirmed cases are spiking. We're already higher than what we believed was our peak back in April.
And I know that it's not easy on kids, I have a 7 year old stepdaughter and this hasn't been easy for her at all. She misses her friends, she misses her teacher, but I think the alternative--potentially catching a deadly virus and spreading it--is worse. I'm very uncomfortable going back into a profession where I could catch this thing and either die or have longterm side-effects.
That's pretty much all I have to say. I wish the US had better leadership in handling this. It saddens me that other countries were able to get a handle on this but we can't/couldn't because too many people believe this is a hoax or whatnot.
