Yeah right, the real polls. A friend’s mom had to go to a nursing home some years back and they had to give away her cat. Occasionally she’d get upset and ask where it was and they’d tell her it was sleeping under the bed, and she’d relax. That went on for years.

I mentioned earlier:
My daughter’s two older boys are changing schools this year (one to high school; one to middle school). For their graduations, the parents and grandparents pooled resources to purchase better laptops for distance learning, because my daughter is not at all interested in sending any of the four kids (the other two are first and second grade) back to in-person learning.

Sure - and a classroom with one teacher, one or more aids and 25 kids will do the same, especially if the super spreader attends classes in several different classrooms (e.g., high school passing of classes).
This has all the hallmarks of a disaster, which could just be avoided if those in charge were more concerned with lives than with how full their pockets would be.

The Nordic rule has been ten students per class, with play groups of 4 or 5. On the playgound. I understood ultra Orthodox Jews were having issues with social distancing. Apparently larger class size in Israel , which will also likely be the reason an American launch fails.
