My wife's boss(thankfully) basically decided the same thing for her. Everyone else has to go to mandatory meetings occasionally, but for now she doesn't have to. She said they'd re-evaluate next year, so we hope they decide the same thing going forward.
@BE @ralf @knottedthreads I just recenty wrote similar think (althought way, way shorter). I do not get, how so many people just ignore new data like problems with immunity, #LongCovid etc.
But the think is, they do not know. It is not in the news, in magazines, nor there is any government work on getting the knowedge to people.
I do know, because I`m reading people, who are able to read science studies.
And I`m afraid. Because there is no way, how to protect my family. We have 4 kids, 2 are going to school (no precautions there), 1 to kindergarten.
I`m unable to teach them (I tried), I must feed them first. My wife is already overloaded, 4 boys are quite active (likely got my ADHD).
So I can mostly just wait for it :(. So far we had 2 infections, so gar lucky without visible long-term problems. But we will not be lucky forever :(.
@DavidKarban @ralf @knottedthreads
And this gets to the real problem, in the end. Even if you do know, and I've been lucky enough to read good science about it from the very beginning, eventually there comes a situation(or many) in which you have no choice but to be exposed.
I'm lucky in a lot of ways, and one of them is that I worked for myself before the pandemic, and I'm married to a teacher. We've been able to keep our kids home and they actually love it. Eventually, though, something will get to us. Driver's license renewal, jury duty, etc. The only hope is to hold out as long as you can and get infected as infrequently as you can and hope that eventually your local government comes around to sanity on the issue.
I sincerely wish you luck staying healthy going forward.
