How misinformation and distrust has caused much chaos

The last year and a half with the emergence of Covid-19, life has changed drastically and no one escaped from the woes that were brought on by this virus and now the new variants inclusive of the Delta virus. Millions succumbed to being infected and over 600,000 in this country alone succumbed to death as scientists struggled to get a vaccine.

Lots of mistakes have been made from day one of learning about the coronavirus, where it was dismissed as a common cold would be. This dismissal went on so long that people were dropping dead like flies as the denial by the White House continued.

Fast forward, in the wake of all the deaths, the vaccine was available to the chosen few, the elderly, and soon after that became more available to others and now available to the young from 12 years old and up.

During the last year and a half, schools, business, traveling and so much more came to a halt and no one can truly say they enjoyed the isolation but wanted all to be over and back to what was known as, “the normal”, which is gone forever. We now have a new normal where all are fighting for their lives, and doing what’s necessary to go on with life. Then there are the others who chose to put themselves and others at risk for political, religious, or misinformation about the virus, refusing to wear a mask, social distance, and not being vaccinated. The un-vaccinated comprised most of the people being be felled Covid-19, and the Delta virus and hospitals are dire levels trying to treat them.

Up until recently, the young were thought to have a strong immunity to the virus but that has proven to be untrue as many children are contacting Covid-19 and a few were hospitalized. From the elderly and now to the young, we all need to do our part for the safety of humanity.

Wow!! This morning, 3000 kids tested positive for Covid-19 in Los Angeles Unified System according to the news report. Also, social distancing, mask-wearing is not consistent along with ventilation issues. Some classes had their air conditioning on high, which may not equate to proper ventilation as mandated by CDC. It was noted that some air conditioners were not working in a few classrooms.

Before the above breakout numbers, 8 in 1000 Los Angeles Unified students tested positive for Covid-19 within the beginning two weeks of the academic year startup. With Los Angeles being one of the largest school systems in the country, it has more than 450,000 students who are expected to be attending in-person classes, and checks and balances need to be in place, early on.

Los Angeles Unified School system has put in place the Daily Pass, a health check system that cost millions of dollars to set up, failed and resulted in long lines and delays getting to class on the very first day. Just imagined students, parents, and staff having to come up with workarounds. Nevertheless, the school eventually got all processed and checked in, but the second day, the Daily Pass worked, and there were lots of happy people in the building who rated the system from poor to excellent. Now, this is progress and kudos to Los Angeles Unified School system forr getting it all done and corrected expeditiously whose rating of this new system went from being rated poor to excellent.

Moving forward, the school system’s goal is to keep the schools open to test weekly more than half a million children and adults.

Prior to the academic year, summer school comprised of 44,000 students had a rate of positive tests 1 in 1000 and by the end of summer school, the rate was 6 in 1,000. Therefore, the increase was already on the upswing so having a protocol to counteract the upswing in the virus was the best defense for everyone.

The mandating of staff members of the Los Angeles Unified School system to be vaccinated by October 15 will aid in keeping down the increase in Covid and the Delta viruses ending in serious illness, hospitalization, and possible death. The higher the vaccination rate in the population inclusive of the school population provides checks and balances to keep the number of infections and death lower.

Vaccinations, masks, social distancing, washing hands regularly are protocols needed in everyday life but also in schools there must be proper filtration, high-grade HVAC filters, weekly testing, and a health screening system.

In conclusion, it is better to struggle and perfect a virus testing environment for the safety of all, than to have the schools closed for another year. In this case, everyone suffers from families, businesses schools, churches, and government. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
