He must have been one of the two deaths yesterday, which means he was in his 60s. His daughter and several of his grandkids are immunocompromised... why would he not get vaccinated?

More details in the comments on my blog. But the short is that they're not planning to even keep track of the number of kids with covid at the school level, much less the classroom level.<br /><br />We're taking tomorrow off from work to get DC2 enrolled in home schooling and to undo all the things we had in place for school starting next week. nicoleandmaggiehttp://nicoleandmaggie.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-60761964830033259632021-08-10T12:12:54.768-04:002021-08-10T12:12:54.768-04:00July 31 our 7 day average of daily cases/100,000 w...July 31 our 7 day average of daily cases/100,000 was zero. Now it's 13. And a lot of the students aren't back yet. But at least the university is requiring both masks and vaccinations, of faculty/staff and students, and K12 is requiring masks. And so far only 6% of the students have requested a vaccine waiver.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08068913097801163991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36650952.post-55006084777441716792021-08-10T09:43:06.132-04:002021-08-10T09:43:06.132-04:00MAYBE all the adults should get vaccinated!
