This is from a few pages back, but I asked our public school about this and they told me to gently caress off and they "would not tolerate it!". Looks like I'm just another RN leaving the workforce for now, joining homeschool crew 2021.

Given the choice between remote and homeschool, I'd choose homeschool 100 times over. You get to make your own schedule, generally know better than the teacher what your kid's learning style is, and get to cut out the busy work that leads to tantrums. It's clear that most schools will flop between open/closed for the forseeable future, so homeschooling just erases all virtual options altogether hallelujah. We bought some grade level workbooks, extra virtual math tutoring sessions at Kumon and a dance and piano class on Outschool. We'll do the academic basics and then have fun hiking, cooking, and going on outdoor field trips with her KN94. Hoping this is just a short term thing until she can get vaxxed but depending on community transmission, it may stretch out until schools require vaccinations.

Extremely dry conditions across parts of the country are forcing many cattle producers to make tough culling decisions due to a lack of feed available for their herds. When developing criteria for culling cattle, many factors must be considered.

South Dakota State University Extension Cow-Calf Field Specialist Adele Harty provided recommendations for making culling decisions during a recent SDSU Extension webinar. “It’s important to remember there’s no one-size-fits-all culling plan,” she explained. “Each producer must evaluate their individual situation to determine their best options.”

Before making culling decisions, Harty suggested taking inventory of available feed to assess where there may be a surplus or deficiency and evaluate how feed resources can be allocated. If there is a deficiency, consider either acquiring more feed or using the situation as an opportunity to cull some of the herd and focus on improving overall herd performance.

“In drought areas, both grazed and ungrazed forage is in short supply,” Harty said. “It is important to evaluate pastures to determine how much forage is available and how much has already been grazed.” Although it’s difficult in a drought year, avoid overgrazing pastures and continue to adhere to the grazing rule of “Take half, leave half.”

The idea of a delta variant vaccine booster would be particularly viable because of the mRNA technology used to create the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines. Such vaccines "can be adapted quickly,” Mina noted. In fact, Moderna designed its initial mRNA vaccine in about two days.

But Dr. Larry Corey, professor of the vaccine and infectious disease division at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, said it might not be that simple.

“It sounds good that if you matched [the booster with the variant], it would be better, but that actually has not been proven,” Corey said. “Even against the more resistant variants, it may be that just having more antibodies is all that's required.”

Israel is one of the countries struggling with the delta variant. A recent study from Israel followed those 60 and older who received a Pfizer booster shot based on the original strain of the virus from July to August. It found an 11-fold decrease in the risk against COVID-19 infection and a 10-fold decrease in the risk of developing severe illness among those who received a booster.

Designing the delta-specific booster would only be the first step. Vaccine makers would still need to test a delta booster to determine its safety and efficacy. Both Pfizer and Moderna began tests for a booster of their original vaccines earlier this year.

The Food and Drug Administration does not require additional testing for a booster based on a variant like delta to determine its efficacy. However, the agency does say a vaccine maker should.

“Would you think it would be better to wait six months or eight months for a delta booster versus taking a booster of the original strain now that pushes your antibodies up to levels that, you know, knocks your socks off?” Corey said. “We know the vaccine for the original strain is safe. It’s in the bottle, and we know everything about it.”

An extra three to six months could prove costly as recent studies have shown the antibody protection from the first doses of a COVID-19 vaccine may begin to wane after four to five months.

Corey also noted there is no guarantee a delta booster would work better than a booster based on the original strain.

He also serves as the founding director and co-principal investigator of the HIV Vaccine Trials Network. The American physician-scientist is an internationally recognized expert in virology, immunology and vaccine development. His discoveries over the past 30 years are cited as having deepened the understanding of both the pathogenesis and treatment of diseases caused by viruses, especially human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and herpes viruses. Corey has pioneered some of the most significant advances in the creation of safe and effective antivirals for herpes viruses and HIV, the testing of experimental vaccines for HIV and genital herpes, and the designing of new methods for diagnosing and monitoring therapies for viral infections.
