411 information online-Canada's provincial back-to-school plans face backlash from teachers

411 information online wanted to share you the following on some of the new developments with regards to covid-19, And the return of the school year.

As we near the end of August, in normal times there would be alot of back to school shopping as the new your approaches. Clothes, books, paper, pencils maybe even a new book bag. However, for a lot of parents, the idea of sending their young one back to school is worrisome. Covid is and continues to linger.

Back on or around March we are only supposed ot have a 2 week flatten he curve lock down. https://healthblog.uofmhealth.org/wellness-prevention/flattening-curve-for-covid-19-what-does-it-mean-and-how-can-you-help that article was published on March 11h of 2020. Here we are still in no way back to fully normal pre-covid lifestyle.

The rules are constantly changing for businesses. Some of which are still not open and it is now 5 months later. The death toll is down, however many people are concerned about a second wave. Since the virus can not survive in the heat, these last few very hot days are welcomed Im sure. The question is what will happen as the temperatures cool, as the fall months, or winter approaches. No only the idea of a second wave is concerning, news reports have stated a second wave could be even more deadly.

“A second wave of disease outbreak happened with the 1918 influenza pandemic, which killed more than 50 million people in total. That pandemic experienced three waves, and the second wave was more deadly than the first. Later flu pandemics have also had multiple waves, including the 2009 HINI influenza , which started in April of that year and had a second wave in the fall. https://www.health.com/condition/infectious-diseases/coronavirus/cdc-warns-second-wave-coronavirus

So as we approach the new school year, a lot of parents are having second thoughts as to if they will even send their children back to school. We hear of how the classes would run, no loitering in the halls, and so on with the new rules. USA had their school year already start. They are a few weeks ahead of us. And since the new school year started we have seen a major spike of new covid cases

“ More than 97,000 children in the U.S. tested positive for corona virus in the last two weeks a new report says” https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/more-than-97-000-children-in-the-u-s-tested-positive-for-covid-19-in-the-last-two-weeks-of-july-report-says-1.5057843

I dont think there is any doubt that this is causing alot of parents a lot of concerns as we quickly approach the new year. Something the we did not actually conciser and now has come up as a new issue. The teachers and their personal safety is now a very important discussion that is now heating up. “When it comes to questions about the province's school reopening plans a lot of "I don't knows" continue to hang in the air.

“Two teacher unions who spoke to CBC News say the lack of detail is a problem for parents but also for teachers, who say their members are feeling increasingly uneasy about the COVID-19 protocols as the Sept. 8 opening day moves closer.” https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/london/unions-say-teachers-face-concern-and-anxiety-about-covid-19-return-plans-1.5664664

So now even if you can come to terms, and you have somehow decided that your child will be safe. Your worked out all the personal hygiene and face shield and what not to try to keep your son or daughter safe. Looks like yet again we may very well be faced with a teacher strike if this can not get worked out in time. Coronavirus: Canada's provincial back-to-school plans face backlash from teachers
