"I agree its a tiny death number and get the vaccine. We shouldnt make it out to be bigger than it is .."

We are both pretty data based and of course agree. But here is where I part ways: "If we can do anything to protect our children" (emphasis mine). No, I think there should be limits to how much risk mitigation is done based on the size of the risk. Again, we tolerate the deaths of 4,000 kids (and 30K adults) rather than have 25 MPH speed limits.

I agree masks are better than distance learning. Ours went back today and the district only recommends masks. They had theirs on for family harmony, but like "take your mask off and smile for a picture of the first day of school" just kind of was sad.
