Many people are now faced with life and death decisions for themselves and their children. Texas public schools are currently scheduled to open for the 2020-2021 school year. Other states are planning to open, too.

Parents in Texas may take advantage of distance learning or send their children into crowded classrooms and risk their children being infected with covid.

My wife is a teacher in a large primary school, which plans bathroom control by teaching children to distance, stay masked, wash their hands, use sanitizer and clean surfaces in the bathroom they touch before returning to their classroom. They do not have enough staff to manage children going to the bathrooms.

Parents who cannot stay home with their children because they cannot pay the rent if they do not work may keep their children home alone and risk losing them by court order, or send them into harm's way at school. There were 60,000 new cases of covid yesterday with kids at home.

What can we do?
