Editorial: Mandatory vaccines and masks. LAUSD shows the right way to reopen schools in 2021

LA Times  

Los Angeles County can expect a rise in reported COVID-19 cases over the coming week as the Delta variant continues to spread. Some will be asymptomatic cases discovered by COVID testing of all students and staff by L.A. Unified schools — hundreds of thousands of tests every week. By finding cases that otherwise would have gone undiscovered, the schools will not only prevent outbreaks among students and staff, but also help lower transmission rates in the larger community, as infected people stay home and their families take proper precautions. Along with new air-filtration systems and notched-up janitorial services, the school district is helping to convince parents that their families will be safe sending the kids back to school campuses. And unless they have found other good schooling options for their children, parents should send the kids back to their L.A. Unified school.
