What about if they go to school but that means staying away from Grandparents or loved ones? There's also an impact there. And mental health issues do offer "help" to try to combat them...right now, covid does not (other than try not to get it). Kids ARE resilient and if parents do a good job of guiding them through this, they'll be just fine. If they go to school in a bit of an "unknown" atmosphere that has teachers questioning the whole deal that loss of a sense of security may also be felt. That it won't be "business as usual" and will be strange and an adjustment as well. Teachers won't be as focused as they have yet one more thing to worry about with their students. I'm not sure it's fair to the kids or the teachers to throw them back in without a good plan in place. I feel it's premature and that September makes sense. But I also get that parents have limited options and do have to return to work so it's all about finding something that works for everyone. And considering the risk that teachers and children may be facing is part of that. there really are. I'm just wondering out loud here if we're creating some harms, particular for the more vulnerable kids. It seems like the consensus from the educators on here that Sep. seems reasonable and doable, so thats probably the right decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's totally disingenuous as many of these people are the least likely to care about people suffering from mental health issues in the first place. It's merely a ploy to steer policy in a way that suits their own personal agenda. I'm definitely not in that camp! hope i haven't given that impression. You know what its like to have a kid with anxiety, its a daily struggle. They fall thought the cracks at the best of times so I'm just hoping that they don't get lost in all this. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately though, if you are 60 or older, and have underlying health problems, you will not be safe until a vaccine is found. I like how some businesses have special shopping times for those who require a little more safety precautions and I think there should be more of this in place so that they can start to live somewhat normal lives too. Find a way that they can get a haircut or visit family without endangering themselves. Anything is possible, it just has to be thought out and done in a safe manner. Yes I agree those people walking around like nothing is wrong disturbs me too. That's what happens when you think your issues are far more important then others. These people almost bump into me in the grocery store because they don't care about anyone else's safety they just need that bag of chips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are getting a little ahead of yourself as we are very early in this things development, there are a lot of questions to be answered and the only thing we can go on ,RIGHT NOW, is the data that is currently available. Yes this might happen and that might happen but right now 97% of our population that are dying are 60 years and older. When you triage, you take care of those immediately in danger and work out from there. Yes it is not good for anybody to get this but right now, our parents and grandparents are dying and that should be our priority at this stage of the game.
