Likewise. My kids had been going 2 days a week, but last week the high school announced that the next two weeks would be full remote, and then this week it was just announced that all schools were going remote for the rest of the semester.

The localized whack-a-mole strategy has proven it doesn't work either. The virus travels with people. The only way stay at home on a local level (mischaracterized as "lockdowns") works is if no one, and I mean absolutely no one, is allowed to travel into or out of those local areas. The virus travels with people. Again, the virus travels with people. It's stubborn that way.
So we have about as clear a picture as possible on what will happen in two weeks, but we're going to roll on ahead as if there is nothing to worry about. People are too selfish and ignorant to avoid big Thanksgiving gatherings (along with the upcoming Christmas parties). This is like watching a train wreck in slow motion.Will Thanksgiving Be a COVID-19 Disaster? In Canada, the Answer Was ‘Yes’

Pretty much been that way from the start. My daughter works at amazon also, and my son is working also. Wife’s school got shut down for 14 days due to 1/5 of the staff positive, but mine has been more or less fine so far.
Don't forget the New Years Eve celebrations!
Which is exactly why localized, "just in the areas that need it," responses continually fail. Essential workers, like food delivery workers, need to travel in and out of hot spots. No matter how safe they all try to be while in those spots, some of them get infected. When an infected essential worker travels to an area under a less restrictive phase, they expose the people in that area to infections. Due to the lessor restrictions in that area, an outbreak occurs and by the time the outbreak is detected, it infects a lot of people some of who then spread it to other areas.
I honestly don't think we'll make it that far. Thanksgiving and early holiday parties are going to come a month to two weeks before Christmas and New Years Eve. The virus will do its thing in that amount of time.
We don't have to "wall off" any city to save 100's of thousands of lives. We can't save 100's of thousands of lives unless we all do the same thing at the same time.
We've never had a lockdown and we don't need to completely stop the spread of the virus to save 100's of thousands of lives. Calling the mitigation efforts, of restricting our public activities to essential activities only, a lockdown is a mischaracterization that creates a false impression of what we can successfully do and what we need to do to save 100's of thousands of lives. We don't need a lockdown to save 100's of thousands of lives. We simply need to adapt and adjust our lives to avoid public activities that aren't essential.
Both false and fatalistic. The virus is completely at our mercy. It can't spread without us. Without us it's completely helpless and inert. What we see in Europe is that as soon as they stopped doing what was keeping the virus from spreading, it started spreading again. The virus didn't and can't defy efforts to stop it's spread. Every spread is a direct result of when people stop doing the things that prevent the spread.
