13 COVID cases in one day at Janney??

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.

Time to up out of asymptomatic testing, like so many already have.

+1. My kid has been caught on DCPs asymptomatic testing twice. Never a symptom. Never spread it to anyone in the family, including unvaccinated symptoms with zero precautions. The NFL stopped asymptomatic testing because after a year’s worth of data, they saw very little evidence of asymptomatic spread. Instead, most spread came from people who tested negative with symptoms and then tested positive 3 days later (its protocol at the time). It changed the protocol to daily testing for symptomatic people and no other testing and massively cut the spread. We could learn something.

^^ Sorry, unvaccinated *siblings

As a PP mentioned, these were all announced on one day, but were not from the same date. Honestly, I wish the reporting was faster. And while I realize a lot of kids have little and sometimes no symptoms, the staff that works in the building and get sick DO have symptoms when they get sick. Staffing continues to be a big challenge at Janney and other schools as well.

The staffing challenges are certainly a problem, but let's not assume that staff necessarily or even usually catches it at school. They have lives outside of work too, and Covid is everywhere. So it is doubtful that more mitigations would change the current situation substantially.

OK, you want more detail, and a couple of you are suggesting it makes a difference that they were "not all on the same day," so let's do details.

13 cases were reported on the 10th, for 9 last present on June 8th, 2 last present on June 9th, 1 last present on June 7th and 1 last present on June 3rd.

While we're into the details, more cases were reported on June 8th for 1 last present on June 7th,

June 7th for 2 last present on June 3rd,

June 5th for 2 last present on June 7th,

June 3rd for 3 last present on June 1st.

That is a problem. Some of those infections will have medical consequences, if not on those students/staff, on someone in their immediate family.

Those of you who think that this is 'just the world we live in" and there's just nothing we can do about it, you are wrong. Of course we can avoid such massive levels of transmission and the large amounts of chronic illness months and years from now suggested by emerging data and recently published science. I am resisting the temptation to throw out there psychiatric diagnosis jokes and prescription suggestions, so I'll just say you're wrong, and it doesn't have to be that way.

Those "details" you are giving are meaningless unless you can tell us whether they happened in the same classroom on successive days, indicating in-school transmission. I'd actually be interested to hear if that is the case, as it has never happened in my kids' classes all year.

You can live in whatever fantasy world you like, but almost everyone has already had coronavirus despite all the precautions we’ve taken. Unless you’re planning to spend the rest of your life in your basement, isolated from everyone else, you’re getting it too. In fact, I bet a blood test would show you’ve already had it

Is this post from 2020? It’s too late, sweetie. We’ve already had massive levels of transmission. Most adults and nearly all kids have already had coronavirus.

We have. I was symptomatic and positive so we all tested. Stupid us. Two positive asymptomatic kids had to miss 5 days of school as a result.

I am a DCPS teacher and would estimate that 50-70% of my students have gotten Covid this year. My school has reported maybe 30% of these cases. I didn’t asymptomatically test once since December. I will never voluntarily test for Covid again. I am not quarantining in my house if I don’t have symptoms. It really is time to move on.

And PS HS kids who knowingly have asymptomatic Covid are using friends’ negative tests to return to school. No one is missing out on life events for this anymore.

Why would they even need to use friends' negative tests? Not necessary to swab anybody to produce a picture of a negative rapid test...

Clearly it is true that there already has been massive levels of transmission, which needs to be interrupted. Unless schools choose to take mitigation measures, they will continue to see it, and their community will continue to get sicker from it. It is not a one and done.

The mitigation measures didn't work, that's why we had massive levels of transmission. We do not keep repeating interventions that have their own negative repercussions when they have been shown to NOT WORK.
