Hopefully schools will protect our children and do remote learning, because once schools open regardless of being vaccinated or not, it will be like a wild fire that will grow bigger by the week. Parent’s need options to let there kids stay home and be safe or take the risk and send them to school knowing this Delta variant is worse then the 1st. Kids are dying, herd immunity is NOT working and the president and government are doing nothing. Parent’s need to take a stand enough is enough. Down south school’s are closing 1st week with thousands infected & spreading the virus. Now there’s a new mutation more deadlier than delta, it’s only a Matter of time before it hits the U.S. even the vaccinated will no longer be safe.
