    As long as one is not effected... The attitude is oh... COVID is nothing. Ask any COVID survivors how their lives have changed. Then you'd be sure to get scared. No appetite, loss of sense of smell, taste, fatigue ALL THE TIME YOU DONT FEEL LIKE getting out of bed. No energy to function like before....VITAL ORGANS AFFECTED FOR LIFE!!! Is THIS THE LIFE SOME IGNORANT PEOPLE WANT FOR THEIR CHILDREN? THEY ARE NOT VACCINATED.... AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN SO RUSHED.... NO TIME FOR TESTS, NO TIME FOR RESEARCH, NO TIME TO KNOW SIDE EFFECTS OF WHAT WE ARE BEING GIVEN.... iv no idea WHO THINKS THAT COVID IS JUST A COMMON COLD OR FLU, BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY DANGEROUS AND A FALLACY TO PROMOTE THAT TREND OF THOUGHT. IT'S NOT as SIMPLE AS WE WISH IT WERE. THE CM NEEDS TO REALIZE THIS AND FAST.

    No need close schools or any place.covid is not going to go soon. Life has to return to normal How long will continue with meaningless restrictions. HOWEVER PRECAUTION should be at individual level by wearing mask and getting vaccinated when ever eligible.For allaying parents Fear of sending children there can be optional online or offline class depending on individual patent choice.

    It makes no sense to teach only half of the class since most of kids are sick these days. The other half students who are absent don't get a chance to study coz der is no online classes. A common cold persists for atleast 3 to 7 days. Kids are missing precious time to study. They are not vaccinated, its difficult to make them wear masks and follow social distancing coz u know kids. At dis time wen covid cases are rocketing schools have to go back to online classes atleast for few days.

    Why dont they close all the schools in Udupi and DK. What are the authorities waiting for ? Parents are scared to send their children to schools and schools have taken the consent that anything bad happens school is not responsible. What is this. I hope schools start online classes soon
