Slight improvement in precautions

[mtbc]

Last week I mentioned my disappointment at how transportation to my youngest's high school seems to be arranged as if airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 among teenagers is not an important issue. I believe that being unhappy with public policy indicates that one should contact those in a position to change it. Yesterday, one of my local councilors got back to me about my concern, enclosing a new press release announcing that, from next week, students will be encouraged to wear a face covering on the school bus. There is no mention of distancing or ventilation but at least it's progress.

Can you not drive her, if you're not having to commute?

We could. It's around ten miles one way so that'd be forty miles' driving each day but, through the news media, I am keeping an eye on where the cases are cropping up; if the local case rate much increases I think we'll have to.

YAY! for being outspoken and getting a positive response.
