Schools are not even collecting vaccine info on kids so everyone goes home if ANY positive case?

If children have 10min mask-free morning snack time in the classroom, and 20 mini mask-free lunch in the classroom, they did not engage is consistent use of well-fitting masks.
If children are wearing surgical masks, which by design are not well-fitting, or masks that frequently fall under their nose, they did not engage in consistent and correct use of well-fitting masks.

Yeah, you can't expect perfect adhesion to the guidelines, and it unenforceable anyway. But we know that, and the CDC knows that.

If I was referring to perfect adhesion to the guidelines, I would have mentioned kids lifting their masks to scratch their faces or drink water.
What I described isn't imperfect adhesion to the guidelines, but potentially broad failures to even seek to follow the guidelines, that could be addressed by schools.

look, masks just are not magic in that way. A short lunch period is not a superspreader event.

With delta in a classroom of 25, sure it can be, even if they do the 'eating in two waves' thing, with every other kid and every other row.

please show me the research where a 20 minute unmasked lunch period is so consequential.

please Google fleeting + delta.

No no, link us to the research. You are doing the anti-vaxxer thing of saying "just google it."

You are doing the thing of demanding peer-reviewed published research on a topic that is too fresh for it.

OK well we're not going to close schools because you're convinced that lunch will be a superspreader event.

It is stated right there that the delta variant is as contagious as the chicken pox.
15 minutes indoors unmasked with someone who is contagious with the chickenpox puts you at risk of being infected if you're not vaccinated against chickenpox.

DP. I don’t want schools to close for lunch. But I do want them to eat in the classrooms rather than the lunchroom

With this in mind.
How do you feel about 8 hours in the same room with 25 people, wearing cloth masks and surgical masks, falling below noses, pulled down for water a few times? Do you think, maybe, 8 hours in a room wearing imperfect masks imperfectly would amount to 15 minutes in a room wearing no masks? I think so. How about if a third of the class declines asymptomatic testing because ultimately the parents have accepted the kids will contract covid and don't care?

You're on a thread with people arguing that SCHOOLS SHOULD CLOSE aren't you? So you're being tremendously irresponsible about this. If you have a genuine piece of evidence, please present it. Otherwise, gtfo with all the unsupported, goal-shifting allegations that are oh-so-familiar the last time WTU was trying to keep schools shut.

I feel fine about my child doing that because the benefits far outweigh the risks. Any other questions? I would also be fine with it myself because ... I am vaccinated!

I promise I didn't even *want* to go dig out a 1982 Pediatrics study. It is crazy relevant, and I'm more scared than I was before I found it.

Let me get this straight. A 40-year old article you googled, that is a retrospective study of 8 cases, in a completely different setting than schools, with no information about time of exposures, ABOUT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT VIRUS ... is "crazy relevant" to 20-minute school lunches? More relevant than the CDC? More than the NYTimes?

How about you just read this: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/well/family/back-to-school-covid.html

1. I didn't google it, I searched PubMed, because you were taunting me to start a science fight.
2. you continue to use all caps for the fact that it's a different virus, but the CDC (citation linked above) has stated delta is as contagious as chicken pox, so a study of a chicken pox outbreak is relevant.
3. You're wildly unreasonable (uninformed? Intellectually dishonest? Who knows) to reject a a '40 year old' study published in Pediatrics. Air microbiology and the laws of physics haven't changed.
4. Um, yeah, more relevant that the NYTimes, which I love and respect.

I promise I didn't even *want* to go dig out a 1982 Pediatrics study. It is crazy relevant, and I'm more scared than I was before I found it.

Let me get this straight. A 40-year old article you googled, that is a retrospective study of 8 cases, in a completely different setting than schools, with no information about time of exposures, ABOUT A TOTALLY DIFFERENT VIRUS ... is "crazy relevant" to 20-minute school lunches? More relevant than the CDC? More than the NYTimes?

How about you just read this: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/07/29/well/family/back-to-school-covid.html

1. I didn't google it, I searched PubMed, because you were taunting me to start a science fight.
2. you continue to use all caps for the fact that it's a different virus, but the CDC (citation linked above) has stated delta is as contagious as chicken pox, so a study of a chicken pox outbreak is relevant.
3. You're wildly unreasonable (uninformed? Intellectually dishonest? Who knows) to reject a a '40 year old' study published in Pediatrics. Air microbiology and the laws of physics haven't changed.
4. Um, yeah, more relevant that the NYTimes, which I love and respect.

You think this is a "science fight"? Ok. I have tried to get Jeff to delete your post as wildly speculative/verging on deliberately misleading, but looks like he hasn't gotten to it or does not want ot.
