NP. IMO it does matter, the more cases we can avoid during this surge the better. The more cases of spread and exposures we can avoid while teens and tweens are getting their boosters, the better. Hopefully by this weekend anyone who picked it up over winter break will have popped positive and won't have been in classrooms or cafeterias exposing their friends. Many who did get sick or exposed will be finishing quarantines and won't have missed any school. Everyone absolutely will get it, but it would be great if we could avoid having individual schools or classrooms move to virtual because it's completely out of control for the next few weeks.

YMMV

Kids have been hanging out all day without masks due to the snow days. They would have been better off with masks on in school

+1. And you get kids are at a babysitter with some Other kids because parents have to work.

I took my daughter and her neighbors to a movie theater today. We had to get out of the house!

I hope they don't get infected, but if so I hope it's by Sunday so that they don't walk into school on Monday and end up sending classmates into quarantine due to exposure.

You will get omicron unless you totally isolate. Just embrace that now. It will make it easier on your anxiety when it actually happens.

What would be best would be for teachers and students to get it simultaneously so that everyone is out and recovers and is ready to come back around the same time.

Almost 2 years into this, it's no longer fair to ask kids to isolate in their houses for this, especially if they have been vaccinated.

We are both teachers. We aren’t isolating. Nobody I know is doing that.

100% this. Teens are hanging out together all week. As much as you might like to think people are staying home they aren't. They just aren't any more. It would be better for them to be in school. At least they'd be wearing masks for most of the day. I guarantee you they are not outside of school.

Unless you need emergency care and in that case, good luck.

A family of 6 I know....all four kids went into school before they had symptoms.

These are Zero COVID-type posts, like COVID will be eradicated. It will not. Everyone will get it.

Buckle up, Zero COVID snowflakes. It's not a moral loss if you get COVID. It's called normal.

Time to start pushing this into AEM. People have got to get a grip with reality.

Serious question as someone who knows it won't ever go away. Right now quarantines exist. Right now if a school ends up with too many employees and kids out, they will shut that school temporarily. If your kids get sick, even if it's mild, they're out for anywhere from 5-10 days.

If we want schools to stay open, why wouldn't you take steps to keep your family from getting it right now? Otherwise it's like you're poking yourself in the eye, it seems to me. Maybe I'm missing something about your perspective? I want my kids in school, so in the short term I'm willing to step back and take additional precautions so that we can get numbers back down.

Bozos like PP above think once they've had it they're immune. They want everyone to get it now.

Thank you for your concern! Who is to say we'll be back on Monday? Maybe schools will be closed again because of staff shortages. Maybe they'll just go virtual for a few weeks...and then a few months. Since it's impossible to predict, I'm just taking it day by day--fully vaccinated and masked, of course!

APS should require negative tests before returning to school on Monday, as well as test to stay.

My DC is one of those positives reported 1/3. It took so long to get our test results back, that quarantine was over just a couple of days later. I had plans to keep them home until we got the results anyway. So yes, I was happy for the snow days.
