Totally with you. I have 3 kids, they love being online and they love going to school. Online has distinct advantage that they are instantly home and get to eat home food etc. Like the author, we are flexible and home. I can't say everything was perfect. My main goal is for none of us to get Covid, if we endured this much, I really don't need it now. There is 5 of us, if anyone gets it, everybody will get it, vaccines as you know, will not help you except keep you from dying. I think this is huge opportunity, largely wasted, to actually figure out a good way to learn online. Also, I think that most of those who complain and are working from home, they simply don't want their kids home.

  This isn't a helpful or honestly very nice comment, considering you don't know the commenter's situation or risk profile. The article you linked even makes the point that delaying onset of Covid until there are more vaccines and therapeutics is ideal. Even at high R0 with no precautions, large numbers of people never get an endemic disease, due to herd immunity. And for people with kids, it's very reasonable to try to delay onset until pediatric vaccines and therapeutics are available. The fact that Covid will become endemic is not a reason to abandon all precautions.

    The Delta and Omicron variants are so contagious that there will be no significant herd immunity. Everyone will eventually be infected. Fortunately the vaccines and other therapies are quite effective at preventing deaths. https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-made-herd-immunity-not-possible-astrazeneca-developer-2021-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/delta-variant-made-herd-immu... The risk to healthy children is virtually zero. https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.30.21267048v1 https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.11.30.21267048v...
