[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8107062, member: 6701124"] So, our local district started off with either having: (a) 2 days on 3 virtual or (b) all 5 virtual. Beginning November 12th they're hoping to have some of the grades (including the one directly impacting our family) go back to 5-day a week live. This hinges on the state DHEC (Department of Health and Environmental Control) having our county rated low at the board meeting on the 27th this month, and staying there until it starts. Luckily, our state health folks seem to be not being coerced into doing anything with the numbers (the governor just ignores them if he wants to do something else, and has foisted most things onto the municipalities for decision making) and our state numbers aren't horrific (rt.live has had us sub-1 since late June, and our new cases have been pretty steady since mid August (a bit under 1k/day) with deaths treanding down since July. The 35k University in town is down to 46 active cases (doing about 3k tests per week) from a peak of around 1400. So, if we were New Zealand we'd have all been on total lockdown for a while... but at least we don't seem to be Wisconsin. My son isn't particularly amused about going back - but I'm not sure how much of that is worry and how much is the comfort of being home. (He's enjoyed going to scouts live the last two weeks - outside, or heavily ventilated garage, everyone in masks, <10 people). Anyway, the D&D with his friends is staying on-line. Our FLGS has started opening three nights a week for MtG (limited seating, masks). I've been in to buy, but am playing that online too. [/QUOTE]
