    Far Northern IL -

    IL - I just looked up what is happening in my state and it looks like some of the big name universities planned for online learning back in May.

    They all require face masks, social distancing and testing 2x/week for students that have to be on-site for their classes. (Source: https://news.wttw.com/2020/08/11/illinois-universities-colleges-prepare-fall-classes-amid-covid-19)

    The elementary and high schools are mostly remote learning as well. Our governor says they won't all open until we are at 5% so who knows when that will be. I am very worried about a vaccine being rushed through the testing phase just to get it out there.

    I am also very concerned about the kids graduating soon as they may not have any internships to complete or jobs for which to apply. We are going to feel this ripple effect for a long, long time.

    I started this topic over the Summer... Can we be ready to open schools in the Fall?
