(1) State officials: Schools can open on Monday! Yay! Schools are so important to a functional society!
School employees: Oh great! This must mean that the infection rate is down! We did it! We worked and sacrificed together as a society for the common good!
(2) State official: Yes! We have gone from “unchecked spread” to “escalating spread,” What a success story! Yahoo!
School employees: …. Um…. okay, but it will be okay because employees will all get the vaccine before the schools open though, right?
