It’s all ridiculous and mostly makes zero sense.
They make up the rules as they go and change them in the same breath.
Whatever. Hopefully the vaccine will get this crap over with sooner than later.
Agree, it's a total Moderator cut: language removed
show. "Rules" changing day to day.

Agreed. Even when the facts are out there, folks make crazy decisions: California (39,500,000 population) has had only two (2) kids under the age of 18 die with Covid. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...Age-Group.aspx
Both with 'serious underlying conditions'. Yet the woke crew on the left coast is still in a (faux?) panic mode regarding opening k-12 schools.
So both coasts (and elsewhere) have science-challenged pols and parents. I understand a healthy skepticism of the 'experts' (who have been all over the map with Covid-related recommendations and guesses since we first heard of the virus in China) but some data is pretty clear.

I'm sure NY will screw up the vaccine in some way.
There has to be 1,000’s and 1,000’s of kids that had it on LI too. I personally know of several lax and soccer clubs that had/has Corona. And right there alone is 1,000’s of kids. God only knows how many was passed on to in the schools.

If 60M were infected by swine flu, I see no reason we won't hit that number (if we have not already) so that would mean millions of school age kids will be/have been infected with virus. FWIW (and this number does not resemble the number of actual infections) about 1.3M children have tested positive thus far.
Infected and dying (see California data, above) are two very different things. Which is why Dr. Fauci said to open the schools and send the kids - he most recently said that Sunday.

Almost 100,000 children in the U.S. were sickened with the coronavirus in the last two weeks of July, according to a new report.
The analysis, conducted by American Academy of Pediatrics and the Children’s Hospital Association, revealed a 40 percent increase in COVID-19 cases in children between July 16 and July 30.
Surveying 49 states, New York City, Puerto Rico and Guam, the summary showed that children made up between 3 and 11 percent of total state tests. Between 3.6 and 17.8 percent of children tested positive for the virus. Not all states reported hospitalizations of children, but among those that did, children made up 0.6 percent to 3.7 percent.
States used different definitions of “child,” some saying a child is anyone 14 and younger and others adding even 24 year-olds to the group. New York did not provide state-wide age breakdowns of cases.
Today Newsday again explains that Covid simply does not spread in schools (or in school busses).
Of course kids and staff do catch covid (we’re in a pandemic) ...but not in schools. Obviously the “err on the safe siders” will still want to keep their kids at home (not withstanding the clear data and science) if a remote option remains in place. Ironically, home is where so much of covid transmission actually occurs.
With the coronavirus surging on Long Island, there is still at least one place where COVID-19 does not appear to be spreading: schools.
About 5,200 students ages 5 to 17 and 2,200 school staffers on Long Island have tested positive for the virus since many of the more than 400,000 schoolchildren returned to classrooms in September, state data shows. But health officials say they’ve traced fewer than 10 of those cases back to local K-12 schools, a fact they say suggests in-person instruction can be safe if the right precautions are in place.
