CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.

This is a nice clear concise 5 minute interview on vaccines and who get's in line first for them.

Only 1 in 10 vaccines makes the market and most vaccines hit the market in 5 to 10 years.

When a vaccine comes out there is no way in hell I am getting it. Not after a flu vaccine practically destroyed me. I will take my chances.

Who knows what will happen with summer camp though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It definitely can work, but generally the families it works with are the ones that already took a vested interest in their kids schooling. Then you have parents that work necessary jobs and can't be at home to even help.

Then you have poorer communities where it is even more of a struggle because the priorities are just trying to survive. If they are educated enough to help, they just don't have time.

School systems need to find a way to support all the kids or the ones who currently struggle have no chance. The economically disadvantaged won't be able to get out as they fall behind.

This was pretty much the case for disadvantaged kids when things were "normal"

The only other thing I can think of is to restrict who attends physical classes to those most "at-risk" in terms of education. You keep schools to 10 kids per class, you might be able to maintain social distancing requirements while providing the resources necessary for those that need them.

Or do some kind of rotating schedule where some kids attend in the morning, some in the afternoon, and rotate Monday/wednesday and Tuesday/thursday

Also know people who teach in NJ. One teacher said she hasn't heard from a couple students since this all started. Students who were getting F's are now getting A's - easy to cheat on HW and Test.

Not every student has computer / internet options.

It is definitely easier to just google the answer now or talk to other people in the class to get the answers.

The school systems in my area loaned out the school laptops that they apparently already use in class for some type of learning.

I don't know if this is real or not, but it's pretty funny either way
