I don’t care what he has to say; it’s meaningless. I pay attention to the facts as reported by the pharmaceutical companies themselves, clinical research experts, and the FDA. Keep playing politics if it turns you on, I guess. |
If this goes on for another school year I think HS kids will be in a tough predicament. I don’t know how college admissions would work. |
| Yeah right. |
| Probably a dozen vaccine manufacturers have said they will be ready in spring or summer. Not to mention schools are already back all over the country without spread. Stop fearmongering. It’s so tiresome. |
I have middle schoolers - what are you seeing with the HS set? |

Yeah 77,000 Covid positive cases in a single week among children sounds a lot like zero spread. Get real. 77,073 new child cases reported from 9/24-10/8 (608,718 to 685,791), a 13% increase in child cases over 2 weeks https://services.aap.org/en/pages/2019-novel-coronavirus-covid-19-infections/children-and-covid-19-state-level-data-report/ There has been a 90% increase in Covid-19 cases in US children in the last four weeks, report says. https://www.cnn.com/2020/08/11/health/covid-19-children-cases-rising-wellness/index.html Approximately 56 million school-aged children (aged 5–17 years) resumed education in the United States in fall 2020.* Analysis of demographic characteristics, underlying conditions, clinical outcomes, and trends in weekly coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) incidence during March 1–September 19, 2020 among 277,285 laboratory-confirmed cases in school-aged children in the United States might inform decisions about in-person learning and the timing and scaling of community mitigation measures. During May–September 2020, average weekly incidence (cases per 100,000 children) among adolescents aged 12–17 years (37.4) was approximately twice that of children aged 5–11 years (19.0).

Did you read your own article? It says it’s not due to school. Leary said that multiple factors have led to a recent increase in the number of coronavirus infections in children in the past couple of weeks, including increased testing, increased movement among children and a rise in infection among the general population. |
That article is from August 11, you freaking moron. But great way to make your point! LOLOLOL |
And the study of the 77,000 cases is from October 8th. Child cases are rising and there isn't a damned thing you can do about it but keep them from spreading it through mass school gatherings. Good luck burying your head in the sand for the rest of 2020 though. |
| I guarantee more than a few of you were the same people who thought schools would be back in session in March 2020. |
| People will decide that they're done with unions before they accept this. |
I think that would be a good thing for education, at this point, but I still think five days a week isn't happening until 2022 earliest. |
Okay, but clearly you don't really read, you just grab things and post them to attempt mass hysteria. Another example of you inanity: 9/24-10/8 is TWO weeks. |

I have been saying this same thing - no school (DCPS anyway) until 2022 - on a few threads. and it hasn't gotten much traction. but everytime i see people write so effortlessly about "next year we'll have to catch up" or "next year school will start earlier," etc. I just wonder - why in the world is anyone confident about NEXT year? there is nothing to indicate that we will have these many hurdles addressed by next year.
We can ride out this year with our pod. but then I think we will have to move in order to get to a private school we can afford. |
