13 COVID cases in one day at Janney??

That's a lot of an illness that causes long-term conditions in one in five adults under 65, only reduced by vaccinations by 15%. A lot of an illness that will likely spread from there to a lot of parents. Good luck, folks, I'm so sorry to see this.

Those cases weren't all on one day. The notifications clearly state that they were spread over multiple days. I'm assuming you are not a Janney parent.

And what makes you assume that the kids spread the virus to their parents and not vice versa? Most of these cases were likely brought into the school from outside, not caught at school, and the parents may well have been the index case. It's a school of nearly 700 students, and Covid is everywhere outside of it.

I don't know if OP is a teacher or ocd parent, but unless you are going to live as a recluse for the rest of your life, you are probably going to get covid several times. Even if you are vaccinated, boosted, double boosted, whatever.

This virus will be here for the rest of our lives. It will evolve over time as we have seen it do for the last couple of years. Hopefully it will continue to become more and more mild. Yes, there is still a lot we don't know about the virus. No, it is not worth living your life.

This is not something new to the human race. We have had pandemics before, survived, and continued on with our living. I suggest you focus on something else for your mental health.

1. The CDC says 85 percent of kids in DC have already had coronavirus.

2. Everyone is going to get it no matter what. If you think you’re going to avoid, I have a big beautiful bridge to sell you.

Those are platitudes that ignore that it's not one and done. The number of times you are infected with covid will make a difference in your long-term health.

Everyone is going to get Covid *repeatedly* and there’s nothing anyone can do to prevent that. Sorry but it’s the world we live in

Sure, there are many mitigation measures that would prevent Janney students, families, teachers from getting COVID repeatedly through school, and those mitigation measures would not harm children anywhere near as much as having a disabled parent, a scarcity of teachers from mass disability, or a disability themselves.

Is there any city in the country that went further than Washington DC in trying to mitigate coronavirus? And yet by February, 80 percent of kids and 60 percent of adults in DC had Covid antibodies, according to the CDC. Seems to suggest that Covid is just extremely contagious and masking and all the rest of the things we did may make people feel better but doesn’t actually do much to prevent Covid.

Please show me the randomized control trials on these interventions. None of those interventions are costless and some have high negative impacts (e.g., repeated school closures or quarantines = people losing jobs, and not being able to take care of kids). If we do things that have negative impacts, we should have strong evidence that those things work to reduce in-school spread.

OMG you need to get off Twitter and stop doom scrolling. We have more than 80% seroprevalence and no mass disability. And yes, mitigations have costs and are of unproven benefit. Besides hiding faces and excluding healthy kids from school, one significant cost of mitigations to children is the constant fear messaging. That's no way to grow up.

Covid has been everywhere for two months now at Janney and every where else. But since almost everyone at Janney is vaccinated no one is getting seriously ill so I don't know what you are going on about.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/71/wr/mm7121e1.htm

Summary
What is already known about this topic?

As more persons are exposed to and infected by SARS-CoV-2, reports of patients who experience persistent symptoms or organ dysfunction after acute COVID-19 and develop post-COVID conditions have increased.

What is added by this report?

COVID-19 survivors have twice the risk for developing pulmonary embolism or respiratory conditions; one in five COVID-19 survivors aged 18–64 years and one in four survivors aged ≥65 years experienced at least one incident condition that might be attributable to previous COVID-19.

Both that study and infographic are garbage.

Says an anonymous internet poster providing absolutely zero information to refute the stats that they’re rejecting. Such a “garbage” response.

We’re going on year 3 and I don’t believe there has been a single pediatric death from covid in DC. Car crashes, gun shots, even playground slides, have caused much more harm to DC kids.

At this point, the handful of regular suspects on social media freaking out about DCPS and covid should be completely marginalized as mentally ill. Hopefully DC government has collectively regained its mind and realizes that. I’m looking forward to quarantine being completely ended next year.

And how many of those 13 were asymptomatic caught by parents who are overly cautious and tested kids because they were being careful? My kiddo was one of the positives 2 weeks ago and he did not develop symptoms at all. I did and would gladly be sick again if it meant that our kiddos could see their classmates faces.
