It isn't like any "cure" or "vaccine" isn't going to get scrubbed by the press. IOW, it isn;t going to matter. It either will be real or it won't. BTW, Pfizer has a vaccine out there that is showing some real promise. Still months away from any sort of mass production, but the limited testing does look promising. I tthink there is one out of the UK that looks promising as well Still think at a minimum we are a year plus away bc even if something is found that works getting it mass produced and distributed will take a long time.
Here in the Chicago suburbs, Colonel Angus' consternation notwithstanding, we are doing a pretty good job. my son's travel baseball league has started back up and we are having games. Parents are spread out along the 1st and 3rd base lines, team doesn't huddle up or use the dugout all at the same time, lots of sanitizer for the boys, parents have to wear masks in the bathroom and concession areas, etc. no one complains about the masks or rules, just happy the boys can play.
Starting next Friday, my youngest kid is playing in a baseball tournament in East Cobb, GA. 241 teams from all over the US. Keep thinking that it will be cancelled because of GA's problems with the RONA. Guess not. Will be masking up.
Sorry not fully up to speed. Can someone point me to a reliable study that discusses how easily kids under 12 spread this virus to adults? Seems like that is the screaming question to be answered when discussing middle and elementary school reopening, but I did a quick search on the Google and didn’t find anything I considered up to date. High schoolers obviously get it and I know school systems don’t stop with middle schoolers. I am really trying to figure out if it is 100% I will have this shit by the end of September when my gremlins go back to school next month, or whether it is just really fucking likely I will have it by then.
Thanks in advance.

You aren't going to find a reliable study that answers that question. Best available evidence suggests significant lower transmission rates among kids, but we need a lot more data.
Have there been any updated thinking on the safety, or lack thereof, of flying? I have not heard of large outbreaks linked to a plane flight like I have for parties, bars, and some other settings. How would it compare to protests? Masked people close together. The difference between being outside and in an enclosed tube seems big, but are the filtering technologies of planes able to offset that in a meaningful way?
I have not been on a plane since December, but I have an in-law who is a commercial pilot.
