Schools must not start Sep 1
Thanks localcircles for running this survey. Received the report from one of my whatsapp groups. I had voted and totally believe that schools cannot be started in this academic year. 97000 children in america contracted covid in last 2 weeks after school opened.
I am a bit surprised to see 33% parents want schools to be on from Sep1. I would like to know their thought process.
See this study from WEF The graph below shows the proportion of the population infected by COVID-19 under four policy scenarios.The blue dashed line simulates the effects of an immediate school re-opening. This leads to a large increase in infections. The other scenarios simulate the effects of delaying schools re-opening until January 2021. These lead to much flatter curves. We find the most effective policy option (illustrated by the purple dotted line) to control infection rates while avoiding a blanket lockdown is to delay schools reopening until January 2021 while shielding the elderly. more

We know plenty of politicians delivering sermons for austere living, but themselves living in styles dwarfing many kings.
We are general middle class/upper middle class people (presumed that rich people would not be having that much time/energy to spare to mingle with 'Local' Circle people). Let us play safe. more
