After DeWines edict r/t vaccines what do students do now? Attend school in another state?

[Murphyb849]

He is forcing students including college to have to attend school with the unvaccinated. Hell to the no my kids would be going elsewhere.

1. Bending over for the extremist loons again.

Why not let each school set it’s own rules about vaccinations?

Why don’t Repugs like freedom?

2. What did he do exactly?

4. Guess it now depends if they force the students into the same setting.

Are they forcing in-person classes?

5. if FDA gives regular authorization to the vaccines, bill becomes moot.

7. The public university in Ohio at which I teach has mandatory in-person attendance.

And masking for unvaccinated individuals is on the honor system.

Worse - there is a rumor that we will be unable to set our own rules in our own private office. (A colleague was told this in an HR training, but so far the Dean says he has not been given a cear answer.) The rumor is that I can't require masks. I either have to allow everyone in my office (in whatever masked/vaccinated status they are in) or no one.

In my building, there are a grand total of 5 of us wearing masks. 4 of us are fully vaccinated (and have been for a while), the 5th is half-vaccinated. Of the 4 I know about, two of us have cancer, two have children with impaired/hyperative immune systems, at least one has an autoimmune disorder, collectively we have at east 4 children 11 or under (including an infant under a year old), two have elderly parents. I know nothing about the 4th one.

It's gonna be a fun fall. Not.

9. My gut tells me by mid-October we will be back into lockdowns.

Just a gut feeling, based on what we saw from India.

10. Unless something changes,

it may sooner than that.

In a back-of-the envelope calculation, we'll be at 200,000 cases/day by early September.

11. I can see that.

Seems inevitable at this point.

6. Ohio State already wasn't requiring it

Long before this was signed.

They are, however, treating the unvaccinated kids differently. They will still be subject to mask wearing, weekly testing and will be required to go through isolation if exposed. Those are the same rules all students had last year. Meanwhile the vaccinated kids will be free from all those restrictions.

The hesitancy among young people is largely a function of not bothering more than actual reluctance. I predict that after the first week or two of extra testing, they will mostly just get the damn shot to be done with it.

8. I wish we were handling it that way . . . n/t
