Who else is gearing up to go back to school?

I start back at my Ed tech job right after Labor Day. I'm not really feeling ready. Maine's done well with the virus, but Delta makes me very nervous.

Viral load & shedding is 1,000 times previous covid. Cloth masks no longer good enough, per Dr. Ding, Harvard epidemiologist.

Mandates all teachers, staff and students wear masks. Teachers return Aug 16th, the kids follow the following week. I'm not ready for school to resume after last year.....
