Maximum Carnage Week Game Thread

California to this day officially has the lowest number of children back to full in-person learning of all 50 states. We have not budged from this last-place position despite data from multiple countries and places in our own (Wisconsin, North Carolina, Utah, Chicago, New York City) demonstrating the safety of in-person learning with mitigation procedures for children and staff. Even in households, children have a threefold lower chance of catching COVID-19 than adults and, if they do, are about half as likely to spread it. Unfortunately, despite article after article by California-based scientists on the safety of in-person learning (in local and national periodicals), almost 80% of our students have not seen the inside of a classroom since March 2020.
