SCHOOL DAYS, GOOD OLD GOLDEN RULE DAYS

   If a reader lives somewhere other than the City of Tucson, in Pima County, Arizona, the conditions that prevail in your community as regards local and state mandates relating to which business will or will not open, business hours, face masks, social distancing, etc., differ widely from one jurisdiction to another.

   For example, according to the Arizona Department of Health Services, there were 138,523 cases of the COVID -19 pandemic reported statewide last week, 13,058 of which were reported to be affecting those of us in Pima County.

Virtual Calculus Class
   Both City and County require face masks and I have taken note of the spaces, even chairs arranged to accommodate customers and patients in doctor's offices. Many places have areas where the new thermometers are used to scan people's temperatures at entrances.

   More than 117,000 persons in Pima Count have been tested by various agencies. This is "way too few, but the effort is slowly accelerating

   There is one area of paramount concern where confusion reigns: Deciding how to treat with students. The president has one idea, the governor another and each institution of higher learning espousing a spectrum of solutions.

   We need to oppose sending any student to an environment that is unsafe; Not until this scourge of the pandemic is quelled.

   In this age of computers, it is the responsibility of we taxpayers to provide virtual classes for our students and parents to provide whatever it takes to achieve this goal.
