and we've just barely started.

I teach at the University level. We have a mask mandate at the university, and in the week before the first day of classes my employee and I were exposed 3 times.

The rules here are stay home 10 days if unvaccinated; if you're vaccinated it is up to you.

So we have a little bit before we start. We're back in person, but have both a vaccine and mask mandate, so hopefully that will keep things tamped down well enough.

I warned him that kids would be getting sick, vaccinated or not, and would become vectors for the virus creating an exponentially greater number of cases and more vectors. He was unfased.
