Ummm well the older are comfortable but my kids have no clue about Inches, I have to get them to count the little lines on my tape measure lol. But yes I’m a switch hitter lol. My trade still deals in inches and Fahrenheit and never metric in tech guides.

It's the same thing with analog clocks, they are removing them from schools because the kids can't tell the time. Shit, I though schools were for learning things! :lol:

We don't have a vaccination mandate in my school district.

Since September, there have been 144 cases where kids tested positive. The district holds regular updates to kids and parents as well as vaccine education programs. Over 95% of students in the district have been vaccinated for other diseases and 75% aged 12 and up have been vaccinated for Covid.

Vaccinations aren't the only protection the district is pushing. This is how they describe the layers of protection:

The student is protected from the COVID-19 virus because of the 11 health and safety layers Oregon schools are using. The more health and safety layers in place, the better protected students will be from COVID-19 transmission. Reading from left to right, these layers include: symptom screening; training and education; cleaning and disinfection; hand washing; airflow and circulation; COVID-19 testing; isolation and quarantine; cohorting; physical distancing; face coverings; and COVID-19 vaccinations.

If kids aren't in school, most aren't home these days, but out and about with friends, so in the end opening will probably have less of an impact than anticipated. The experts who make the calls are keeping an eye on hospitalizations now and not case numbers and it will be the state of the hospitals that determines many things from here on out.

Our active case count is at 2214 with 15 hospitalized and 40 confirmed school cases. The ideal of shutting schools down is a bit of an overreach at this point I think. But it’s apparent this can data can change in a matter of days. Most of the decision makers are able to and do work from home, is my guess. That would have considerable sway in the decisions being made imo. A 2 week shutdown is not drastic and could easily be made up. It may give a better picture of where this is going. I guess we’ll find out.

And we have none that I’m aware of, it’s bewildering how it varies so much from area to area.

The difference in vaxx rates for kids might offer a clue. There are many breakthrough cases and most people in the hospital are unvaxxed and almost everybody in the ICU's is unvaxxed. Hospitalizations are relatively low compared to cases, most of which are going unreported. It's the unvaxxed, as usual, who are the issue for the most part.

Vlad and his buddies will lose all their money stashed in the west and that is probably the biggest factor, personal greed. Besides Russia would be screwed, almost every country in NATO has a larger economy, the average Russian makes around $400 /mth and is not a happy camper. Ukraine might be more of a hostage than anything else, but if it goes, Belorussia will be surrounded on three sides by western countries and they have internal trouble with their dictator. Vlad's southern flank will be exposed and black sea dominance challenged. Vlad has a dead dream of soviet resurrection.
