Why would you hear about it if you aren’t in that school? It’s fine to accept the risks but please don’t bury your head because you haven’t heard about anything. OP just told you something - it’s not big enough to make the news, but clearly it still happens.

It would be helpful if op came back and told us where this was. The rate of community spread matters in these scenarios.

Honestly. Complete overreaction for a virus with such a low death rate.

People with several comorbidities should already be staying home.

COVID attacks people with human DNA. You may want to rethink your reliance on blaming the victims for being [old, fat, minority, insert whatever 'co-morbidity' makes you feel safe and superior].

They may have done everything right but the parents didn't do everything right.

I love how everyone takes op at face value when she provides no specific details, especially on light of the several fake “my family member had/died of covid threads from the spring.

Something happened somewhere to someone, someone heard.

Specifics or it may not be truth

Your right, there is NOTHING anyone can actually DO to improve the situation other than STAY INSIDE and wear a moldy mask in public.

You can't take Vitamin D, especially if you're dark, it totally won't help!

You can't exercise!

You can't improve your diet, not even a little bit!

You are completely a victim, STAY INSIDE STAY INSIDE STAY INSIDE until there is a vaccine!

(Unless of course you deliver groceries or work at the Target or in a food processing plant or the gas station or in a nursing home or in a hospital cleaning floors. Then go outside and risk it all so that everyone else can get Amazon delivered and watch Netflix. And if you still die well.... you probably didn't wear a mask the one time you went out to walk the dog!)

This. I don’t know why people think in person school will last very long.

I know dozens of kids going to tons of different camps and childcare situations. Not one outbreak. And no specifics on this post. Hmm.

Outbreak that you know of. People actually need to test asymptotic kids.

There's another thread today where parents who chose all DL, or who initially didn't but who now see the point of all DL, say they realize that in-person school will end up being disruptive and stressful for children because there will be repeated quarantines. Kid is in school. Kid is told to stay home because a classmate was positive. Kid returns to school but shortly after, another quarantine gets ordered after another positive. And so on. It will become a constant stress for kids not knowing when they might be kept home at any point. And parents will not have the convenience of kids bring back in school allowing parents to have a consistent work schedule without kids present: At some point--probably multiple, repeated points that cannot be predicted--the kids will be home again and again. The SAME issues of child care and "do we try to do DL while they're on quarantine?" and "I can't help with DL while I work!" etc. will all be there--only no one will be able to predict when the kids will or won't be suddenly back home....

All the "we want them in schools so they won't be staring at screens" means little when the reality is that kids will end up going back and forth between school and home much more randomly than if they can just be at home consistently. At least parents won't have to scramble over and over to occupy or find temporary care for kids on very short notice, repeatedly.

Schools in Miss. reopened, cases spiked immediately in one school and now something like 116 students snd staff (mostly students) are out on quarantine. Do you not see how this is only going to keep happening unless we actually shut down and get the virus chain of transmission under better control?

Hi, Im new to this thread and reading through all the comments. Were masks required in this school do you know?

Sincerely asking (we also have kids in daycare now), how do they know it was transmitted at school?

I’m sorry to hear that. Hope everyone is ok.

No one knows if it was transmitted at school, but what is known is that any positive students can potentially infect their classmates and teachers. That’s the problem.

That doesn't prevent op from sharing what city or county or even state that this happened in. First pp is right, this is just "something bad happened somewhere". It doesn't tell us anything useful at all.

we’re in the middle of a pandemic. why do you find it hard to believe that people died of covid or a daycare shut down?
