Two Florida women ,34 and 44 year old, dresses up like grannies to try to get their second shot but got busted. Now they can’t get the second shot . They avoided getting arrested.

There was a doctor on last night's Firing Line (PBS) saying he was sure we were in for much worse in the future with all the variants going around.

Yuck, that's not very optimistic, is it? It's only been a year with this thing. US life expectancy dropped by one full year in 2020. So much that we don't know and so little that we do.

This thing is a bitch and the US is a huge breeding ground for new strains. US has 5% of world's population and 25% of the deaths.

Still though, progress is being made at the home front. As primary care giver for her mother, my wife was high on the list and got her first jab last week. Earliest for me is in April. Six weeks or so to go.

One thing that gives me a concern is how we are about to neck down the population of unvaccinated people to children. (per a report on NPR, children won't get vaccinated until early winter). Won't this will favor strains with the ability to infect children, who, until now, are mostly unaffected by Covid and not very likely to even become infected.

I worry enough adults will pass on the chance that we don't get to heard immunity.

I got my name on the county health department's waiting list for the shot. I'm only 60 (65 and older getting shots in Florida at present), but figure if they have any left at the end of the day, they might give me a call.

I would think that maybe it might be worth thinking about some kind of closed campus/quarantine/boarding school set up for kids.

Make sure the adults are fully vaccinated that are caring for the kids/education, and test the kid prior to parents picking them up to visit/vacation with.

It would be a lot easier to keep the kids from exposure to off campus disease, keep the staff safe, and parents the ability to not worry about their kids getting sick or unsocialized while hurting their education.

I can see plenty of ways that could go wrong. No offense but we aren't nearly ready as a society for that.

No offense taken, just seems like if it is good enough for rich kids and Harry Potter, it might be something to consider instead of trying to get kids into old crumbling schools when it is inevitable that future breakouts of something will occur.

It's outside the box thinking, I'll give you that.

In almost all cases, transmission is higher in the community than in the schools. 60% of kids are in schools already. And the federal government has no real say in what happens. President Joe Rob needs to tread lightly. No need to get bogged down in something you have no control over. But he is right to say schools are the key to economic recovery. The vast majority of jobs lost are women. Get the kids back in school, and those ladies can get back to work.

Because the teacher's unions tend to be blue, red states are not going to put teachers to the front of the line. Hell, most blue states haven't put them to the front of the line. In Florida we are still on 65 and older.

We need to step it up when it comes to our education.

Fighting back on the Republican dumbing down of our curriculum to placate the evangelicals and systemic racism in our urban schools, has been a very real problem.
