Georgia Elementary school started back Aug. 2nd and has now quarantined the entire 5th grade

You sound almost happy about this. At least those Georgia kids had school all last year while the children in the DC area languished on zoom.

think about this. We have people in this country that think you’re brainwashed by the left and the executive branch of U.S. government if you are vaccinated against a worldwide pandemic that’s killed millions. But, hell, at least they have the freedom to become deathly ill.

Alabama, ICUs near full capacity
Mississippi, ICUs near full capacity
Georgia/ATL, ICUs near full capacity
Florida, ICUs near full capacity
Arkansas, ICUs near full capacity
Texas, ICUs are trending near full capacity

Keep screwing with COVID19 because that virus is loving it.

The ATL schools haven’t been in session long enough for transmission to have occurred at school. These kids got covid at home.

My DC was in school in person all last year. There were fairly frequent instances where small groups of kids were quarantined because a child had tested positive. The teachers all had cameras in the classrooms and the quarantined kids did DL during the quarantine period. Not a big deal. There were zero cases of transmission at school; all cases were from exposure at home. They did do a week of DL for everyone after Thanksgiving and Christmas, as a precaution. It actually doesn’t surprise me that there are a lot of cases right at the start of school, as everyone gets back from summer travels and camps. That will probably slow down when everyone gets back into a routine and stays at home.

If everyone freaks out every time a kid gets quarantined, then in person isn’t going to work, and, based on threads like this, I suspect that’s going to be the case for the majority of the DMV.

Wow, that some sciencing there. You think the highly contagious Delta/India Covid can't transmit in 10 days throughout a majority of a grade level with packed 130-square foot classrooms?

Surely there are classes that have gone back and have not had to quarantine. I’d like to read some stories about those.

K-4, 5th in every other school, and 6-12 in that district

Who’s “scientist” now? There is no evidence that they had transmission at school, much less “a majority of a grade level.” They have 3 cases in the entire school, and it’s not clear that all of those are in the fifth grade. If they are, it would be easy to see how three different classes would need to be quarantined, and that led to the decision to just extend it to the entire class.

The point remains — it’s going to be a long year for all of you who freak out every time a school quarantines students because one kid tested positive.
