JUST IN: Orange County Public Schools says roughly 4% of students submitted notes to opt-out of the district’s face mask requirement on the first day of school. That’s about 8,200 notes. About 209,000 kids returned today, which is 3,000 more than last year.

1. That's enough to infect everyone.

2. That was my first thought.

3. Very few were wearing masks in our district today

Which has an opt-in policy. SO's last year of teaching. He's wearing a mask and is, of course, fully vaccinated. Last year all of his students complied with no complaints.

I fear what is coming.

4. Cheap surgical masks aren't gonna work against the DeSantis variant.

It’s infectivity is too high.

It may mitigate but there will be substantial outbreaks.

5. I talked to a teacher last week who got "outed" on Facebook.

Someone posted a picture of her classroom showing how she had distanced the desks from one another, and a picture of her teaching while wearing a face mask.

This is apparently so outrageous on her part that people posted her home address and phone number and now she is getting violent and obscene threats and her kids are getting harassed.
