there is research, and it finds that “long covid” isn’t really a concern for kids.

Please share this research.

I don't see in person happening in elementary with a virus that is 1000 more contagious and so many unvaccinated folks in DC who will aid the spread. Also, DC did so very little to improve physical.plants. I think we are all looking at 2022 once those who will (get vaccinated), do.

How, with the Delta spreading, will it be possible to stop it at the elementary school gates in 5 weeks? Do you think the spring measures were enough? If so , why? If not, what will be different?

Please be wrong, I don’t want to have to move temporarily again!

they are wrong. WTU is in active negotiations with DCPS right now so we can expect rumors and fearmongering to pick up here and elsewhere.

We left last year, then came back when our school opened at least part time. If school isn’t full time, we will leave again.

This study is interesting, but, it is small (just 100 positives in the group); it does not add much to the limited research.

The authors note, “Although long COVID exists in children, estimates of the prevalence of persisting symptoms based on scarce literature range from 0% to 27%.”

The picture is still inconclusive. Maybe it’s tiny; maybe it’s not.

And what is a “small” number if virtually all unvaccinated kids get Covid?

Lots of people left from our school last year! Some temporarily and some permanent.

+1 to each of your 4 points, and emphasis on the bolded.

Is your child a 90 year old grandmother? Is your child an obese unvaccinated 50 year old man? If the answer is no, your child is at very low risk from Delta. Congrats!

Very low risk of dying of an acute covid infection. Weknowdis.
Somewhere between 0 and 27% at risk of suffering long-covid. Wedon'tknowdis.

Hmmm, this is interesting. I've been wondering about the "delta variants" hysteria in this forum. It seems out of place, as these forums go (e.g., probably better to be discussed in the health and medicine forum). Bringing it here, to the DC Schools thread, certainly seems suspect.

You can take an unvaccinated child to a Nationals game and then out to dinner in DC, where they will come into contact with countless numbers of total strangers, mostly unmasked, with no way of verifying if any of those people are vaccinated (and even if vaccinated, they could still be carrying Covid). And then your kid could go to school hours later, in total compliance with the rules, which place no restriction on unvaccinated kids going to crowded and indoor public spaces with lots of massless individuals.

But if you drive to North Carolina or Pennsylvania, stay in an AirBnB, and interact exclusively with vaccinated family members, you have to quarantine for 10 days before your kid can attend school.

I am being self-interested here, I know. We have family members who are incapable of traveling to see us because of their age and finances, and who have seen our children either not at all or just once since March 2020 because we were very cautious about waiting for vaccination. And now we're talking about either having our kids miss weeks of school after being out of the classroom for over a year, or going 2-3 years with them barely seeing grandparents. I'm bitter and sad for everyone involved. I HATE this policy and it really feels like just another way to rest the burden of the pandemic on families with young children while not even inconveniencing anyone else.

This. If interacting with unvaccinated people is so dangerous, bring back a mask mandate and have restrictions on indoor dining here, at home. Don't keep kids from seeing their grandparents.

+1
And offer Free testing for students & staff at every school with a nurse. Offer extra testing appointments around breaks. Allow for the 3 post travel testing for school attendance.
More so bring back masks in all space open to the public.

you can keep your kid home. it’s a tiny, theoretical risk.

Same old goal-post moving and fear mongering.

You ask for research- I give you research
You say research proves nothing; therefore we can’t be sure of anything and must keep schools closed.

What impact does that have on the schools?

Where does one find a printed copy of the rules?
