1- not all of them. I would love to stay home, i love not having carpool or homework, i love having my boys in plain sight. But i think your question is off. We can’t go back to square one because too many people have already been sick, too much new information has been acquired regarding what to look for in a patient, and hopefully the high risk people are self aware enough not to join the fray.
I think the kids need to go back to school, even though i prefer they don’t, but they are unfortunately unlearning to focus for long periods, unlearning to get up before 8:30, unlearning how to appear in the presence of a rebbe or morah for hours at a time (unlearning how to tolerate wearing shoes). I’d like to pretend it’s not happening but it is, and i will have to break my nature to hand them all back to ‘normalcy’ because it’s in their best interests as ovdei Hashem. Not for finances, politics or money, just to keep the yetzer horah from injecting another dose of apathy into those sheltered in place.
