I'll be honest, I do not expect creativity or outside the box thinking from administrators. Maybe this is the audience here but they are not creatives, they are bureaucrats -- think bogons from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy and you are on the right track.

I think its Vogons :-) and they do write poetry even if its the 2nd worst poetry in the galaxy.

You are exactly correct :)

There is no vaccine for children under five. As long as we've got children in our lives, we all need to go out of our way to protect them - even those of us with masks and vaccines are getting Omicron.

Why? It’s not really harmful to children. Note all the verbage in the news that says “hospitalized with covid” instead of “hospitalized because of covid”. They are going to the hospital mostly due to other reasons

That's just not true at all. Children have a 13% chance of getting long covid, for one. MIS-C is another (rare but) serious risk that comes along with covid. Children can and do end up on ventilators or dying. Why would you argue against that? Are you OK with families running that risk?
