You misunderstand me as I agree with you. I wish you were our premier instead of Ford.
My point is there isn’t much you and I can do about it when our governments and the CDC have thrown in the towel.

Public heath officials and experts were hoping for spring or summer to ease up, but the politicians and a lot of the public had other ideas. It was a compromise and deal with the Devil and one we will either live or die by. The change in tone was evident in the American SOTU address, there are hundreds of millions of unclaimed free covid tests...

Cheap easy solution to cut risk, if the schools don't want to pay for them organize parents to build and donate to their school classrooms. These things have amazing success stories. I've read of families with a member getting covid and they put one in every bedroom and one in front of the sick members bedroom door and no one else in the household came down with it, masks were used also but they slept with just the box in their bedroom.

If a school refused to put a donated box in a classroom I would remove my child from that school.

@budleydoright knows about this stuff, a UVC light inside the box will make it pretty effective IMHO.

These boxes have been around for quite some time, I'm surprised you haven't heard about them, they should use them in small businesses.

BA2 is on the rise, the US is always about a month behind Europe and our rise is just picking up steam. Places like South Korea and New Zealand that have avoided large waves have cases rising.

The science I've seen says BA1 is deadlier than the original virus but milder than Delta and BA2 will be deadlier than Delta. BA1 was the first major variant that was milder than the one in a previous wave, BA2 goes back to deadlier. People aren't taking into account that covid has already killed many of the weakest in society yet it's still killing so many. With damage from covid being cumulative it will create it's own more vulnerable part of the population to kill with the next wave. Omicron also seems to have a longer incubation period so it can spread more before symptoms show.

Nerve damage may explain some cases of long COVID -U.S. study
A small study of patients suffering from persistent symptoms long after a bout of COVID-19 found that nearly 60% had nerve damage possibly caused by a defective immune response, a finding that could point to new treatments, U.S. researchers reported on Tuesday.

Time to stop calling it "Long Covid" which sounds like a lingering cough & post-viral tiredness Post Acute Covid Sequelae (PACS) literally means "things FOLLOWING acute COVID". PASC is distinct from infection with COVID AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) is not "Long HIV"

I'm seeing warnings of the coming BA2 wave along with warnings that because of the CDC hiding the data people will not be able to see it coming.

We are still seeing 1,800 covid deaths a day and a BA2 wave headed our way, sure dosn't seem like it's over to me.

They just showed coverage of the cabinet meeting in the White House, not a mask to be seen. It looked like it was 1999.

Most of the deaths are still the unvaccinated but I believe even a mild case in a vaccinated person causes damage and the damage is cumulative.
