Wall Street Journal: “The recent spread of the highly contagious Delta variant has thrown back-to-school plans into disarray, temporarily driving tens of thousands of students back to virtual learning or pausing instruction altogether.”

“The shutdowns are hitting classrooms especially hard in the Deep South, where most schools were among the first to open, a possible warning of what’s to come as the rest of the nation’s students start school this month…”

“It is difficult to assess precisely how badly schools have been hit by the virus, partly because of variations in data reporting. But according to an analysis of the available data from state health departments, the number of infections in school-age children has climbed more rapidly in states where students have been back in school for weeks.”

HuffPost: 15 Miami-Dade public school staff die of Covid-19 in just 10 days.

1. I hear people on our local school board expect big problems but don't dare make any moves.

If they have an open meeting to discuss precautions, they will face a mob of angry, disease spreading COVIDiots.

This may be a big blow to them. It's going to take a bunch of dead kids to get their attention. People won't forget that.

2. Again, common sense, with delta one would expect to see

increase in cases of not only children but their family, vaxed and unvaxed both.

Didn’t have to be this way.
