What do the students do to help them? Thank you
Last year many of them went remote, some dropped out and some really struggled. This year our district does not have a mask mandate but has other protocols that are causing significant issues

Seeing as you gents like the CDC info, here's what they say regarding wearing masks, even when fully vaccinated.

When You’ve Been Fully Vaccinated | CDC

Choosing Safer Activities
Friends and family grilling outside

  • If you are not fully vaccinated and aged 2 or older, you should wear a mask in indoor public places.
  • In general, you do not need to wear a mask in outdoor settings.
  • People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their immune system may not be fully protected even if they are fully vaccinated. They should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people, including wearing a well-fitted mask, until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.
  • If you are fully vaccinated, to maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission.

If you want Americans to all do something, forget about mandates from on high. Particularly when famous people all flaunt the rules, on TV!

Right now I’m watching the current & 3 former US presidents, and their spouses, crowding together, hugging each other (!) while they wait to pay tribute to thousands of dead people they don’t care about.

They’re not having this mass meeting because they care about the living either, or they wouldn’t be out there in a huge group, shoulder to shoulder, spreading viruses (but getting themselves the news.)
 
Hello; I use CDC information when possible since several links I have used have been panned badly. I cannot vouch for the CDC personally but they are part of the authorities running the country right now.
Hello; Since this post got a testy reply, let me be more clear. Like I stated I cannot vouch for CDC information personally and I often do question some of it. Thing is that if I post information form some other source, some on this thread will dis the source. Such has been done many times so far.
It is of interest to me that recently some have been posting of how bad the case numbers are currently. That how overloaded the medical system is currently. Then the follow up is usually that the unvaccinated are to blame and such and they must get the shots or be punished in various ways. Then I go to the CDC site I link and see for the last weeks the number of cases and deaths has been going down week after week.

So for a few weeks now there has been active push back against the CDC data. I guess some more than just me do question the CDC.
 
Testy? LOL How about a reality check. If you are going to stand by the CDC as a reliable source, then I would think that it works in both directions amigo. Or is it just the CDC info/stats that support your personal views that are acceptable and considered credible? lol

The "other" sources often used, by yourself & others, Jeff, are links to articles/papers/studies that have yet to be peer reviewed. Those medical preprints aren't always good, or reliable sources of information, hence why people question them when posted. From a previous comment of mine, seeing as some folks apparently didn't understand this the first time around.

What is an unrefereed preprint? | medRxiv

What is an unrefereed preprint?
Before formal publication in a scholarly journal, scientific and medical articles are traditionally certified by “peer review.” In this process, the journal’s editors take advice from various experts—called “referees”—who have assessed the paper and may identify weaknesses in its assumptions, methods, and conclusions. Typically a journal will only publish an article once the editors are satisfied that the authors have addressed referees’ concerns and that the data presented support the conclusions drawn in the paper.

Because this process can be lengthy, authors use the medRxiv service to make their manuscripts available as “preprints” before certification by peer review, allowing other scientists to see, discuss, and comment on the findings immediately. Readers should therefore be aware that articles on medRxiv have not been finalized by authors, might contain errors, and report information that has not yet been accepted or endorsed in any way by the scientific or medical community.
We also urge journalists and other individuals who report on medical research to the general public to consider this when discussing work that appears on medRxiv preprints and emphasize it has yet to be evaluated by the medical community and the information presented may be erroneous.
