Clear Creek is setting up a virtual school and will require kids doing that to unenroll from their brick and mortar school. There's also some kind of application process to do it, so kids that were sitting at home and making crappy grades probably need not apply. Those kids won't be ranked with their brick and mortar school either to my understanding so the top 10% thing may be a pretty big risk for these kids.
Yep! I'm in a graduate program that used to be 100% in person. Since the Fall we've been optional in-person with an online option. Tons of people chose to stay home and watch on zoom. The school is doing a class weekend that will actually be fun and low and behold all of these people are finally wanting to attend in person.Quote:
As it should. If you can't make it to class, you don't get to go to practice. Or prom. Or anything else.
That's not just with COVID, but live in general. I think a lot of COVIDians have forgotten this aspect of life, or never really understood the realities and risks they face each day. Everything from eating food to driving to get a shiny new sanitary facial napkin.Quote:
And to me, I get to make the decision based on my assumption of the risk vs. consequence if I want to engage in the activity.
It's the same as vaccinated. The silence on the effectiveness of the immune system of the healthy recovered is one of the scammyest feeling parts of the whole thing.TAM85 said:
That chart needs another column for people who have already had covid and have the anti-bodies.

But all this talk of infection and contagiousness and what not just seems ridiculous when there's well over 99% survivability rate. We shouldn't even be in this positing in the first place

I knew risk and math were not well understood, but I wasn't cynical enough apparently.
Yep. I asked a few pages back if people would know COVID was a thing if it weren't for the masks out there to remind us. I certainly wouldn't.third coast.. said:
And if noone was wearing masks not a single personnwould give a flying **** about this because it just wouldn't register on peoples radars without the constant reminder that we must be afraid.
Maybe they can set up "competitions" with other virtual schools, kind of like home schooler's activities. I can picture:Seersucker Ag 2011 said:Ranger #007 said:

Are they going to be allowed to participate in in-person extracurricular activities, either with the new school or their zoned school? Hopefully virtual school = no extracurriculars for you.
I'm agreeing with you.third coast.. said:
Sorry, CFR of 1.8% with most of those being old fat people should not lead to shutting down the country. My initial number was wrong. Is that better?

He's not wrong though.
We've known for over a year that the asymptomatic/undiagnosed was at least 10x the actual positive tests which pushes the fatality rate an order of magnitude lower.
