Cases here have been spiking substantially over the past week. Apparently most of them stemmed from frat parties.
I think the tradeoffs for elementary through high school are more difficult, but I continue to think that colleges even partially resuming in person classes in the fall is a very bad idea. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! ... Copied to Clipboard!

Schools reopening will be a nightmare. If a student gets it do you quarantine the class? If a teacher gets it?

Full disclosure, I'm personally quite worried for myself; I'm not sure if I'm gonna have to teach or not this fall, but if I do I assume I will have basically no leverage to refuse teaching in person beyond saying "fuck it, I'm taking the semester off" (which I do have the money to do if absolutely necessary, and would probably seriously consider, though health insurance might be an issue).

Reopening schools is probably not a great idea, but what's the alternative? Cancelling the whole year would set most students behind for the rest of their lives. Besides, our top priority seems to be getting adults back to work; we can't do that without some form of low-cost childcare, and school is the only way we have to do that.

Yeah, I don't really have an answer - and you're right that given the direction much of the country is moving in there isn't really a feasible alternative.
i mean to me that means you should rethink that direction some but even then I'm not sure what action should be taken here. I don't think there's a "good" option here, just trying to find the least bad one. --- xp1337: Don't you wish there was a spell-checker that told you when you a word out? ... Copied to Clipboard!

The solution was to take the pandemic seriously enough to have things in control by the fall; that's not gonna happen now. College is much simpler, though: continue to do fully remote instruction. Yes, there are still downsides, but college does not have the childcare dual function of grade school, college students are older and thus more susceptible to the virus, and have the combination of freedom and irresponsibility that will maximize poor distancing decisions. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! ...

Horrible SCOTUS ruling today that employers cannot be forced to include birth control (which as you probably know is also used as medicine for some conditions in addition to just being used to prevent pregnancy) in the health insurance that they must provide to employees under the ACA:
https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/supreme-court-trump-exempt-employers-obamacare-birth-control/story?id=71254754 The decision was actually 7-2, but Kagan and Breyer did not join Thomas's opinion, and Kagan's seems to leave open the possibility that it could fail under a different challenge. --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! ...

Keep in mind this part of the law can be immediately changed once Trump is out of office. I actually don't think that's quite true. This isn't a law itself, it's an HHS rule on how the ACA is enforced. When they change rules, there's a review process (with public comment periods, opportunities to challenge, etc). Rules are also not supposed to be changed for arbitrary reasons like the policy preferences of the current administration (there's supposed to be an actual justification). Of course, that's exactly what the Trump administration did, so now the Biden admin will be in the awkward position of trying to undo all of these regulations basically with the reasoning of "the last guy changed all of these capriciously, and now we're just fixing them." I wouldn't be shocked if the conservatives on the court hypocritically let Trump's changes stand because of the bullshit presumption of good faith that they typically afford the government, and then hit Biden with "the executive can't just change things back and forth without new evidence driving those decisions" --- Congrats to azuarc, GotD2 Guru champ! ...

As long as they keep launching haymakers in the direction of Trump and vulnerable senate republicans, they're more than welcome a seat at the table. Like Jakyl said, they're being useful right now and I don't care what their long term goals are.
Plus, I feel like if this was just that easy as "AHA BETRAYAL IN 2024!", they wouldn't have just launched that ad targeting all the "normal" republicans which is like the entirety of senate republicans. There are very few republicans not tainted by Trump, so if they want to burn down the entire party and start over, by all means. --- Moops? "I thought you were making up diseases?
