Here we go again.
Just as we prepare for school to start, Covid rates are rising again. Lucy is unvaccinated as are all the kids under 12 at her school. Employees aren't required to be vaccinated until October 1st, so it's a risky game.
There are lots of confusing things that the school district is putting in place, they are "abiding" by the 3 foot distancing rule, but have maximized the number of kids in each class, and are measuring the 3 feet from the center of each desk, so the moment students get up to do anything the "distance" is gone. They are spreading kids out into their "cohorts" in the lunch rooms, which means they sit with their class, but on the school busses it is 2-3 kids per seat. They say the windows will be open for ventilation, but it's swiss cheese.
We can only hope that the vaccines will be made available to kids sooner rather than later.
In the meantime, every sniffle, sore throat or cough from anyone sends me into a dark spin - even if only for a second.
