Even “professional contact tracers” are newly trained and inexperienced. This job didn’t exist 9 months ago. That said, the guidelines for close contact are pretty straight forward:

Less than 6’ for cumulative 15 minutes up to 48 hours before onset of symptoms or positive test. This isn’t rocket science. And the classrooms are purposefully designed to have no close contacts. Teachers have no reason to lie about close contacts and in fact quite the opposite - it benefits them if people who need to quarantine do so.

It’s working!!

You are right teachers don’t have reason to lie but I would encourage you to look into the very many workarounds of that “15 minute “ exposure rule to claim there wasn’t exposure when there very well was. Again, I am not saying there is for sure many close contacts. I am saying there is really no way you’re going to know based on current resources and policies.

Why would a teacher or admin claim there wasn’t exposure when there was? Please give an example because I truly cannot

think of any.

I pretty clearly said a TEACHER would not say there wasn’t any exposure if they felt there was. What someone else later says about the duration or “well it might only have been 14” or “can you prove you were within 6 feet” is a different story. Districts are going to be working very hard to limit any suggestion it is spreading in schools.

Explosive number of cases coming within the next 6 weeks.

Is that an answer?

Serious answer: You should expect a mess. People who have been in person have been saying this for months and no one wants to hear it, but it’s true. There are tons of threads on Reddit about how it’s going in schools that are in person. Spoiler alert: not good.

They don’t care pp. I am a teacher with a broad professional network and I know a lot of teachers in different states. Whole districts returning virtual because they adults keep getting sick or having to quarantine and there’s literally nobody left to watch the kids. Constant flip flopping - returning virtual for a week at a time, then back, and back again. Custodians all out so emails being sent to staff that kids need to be wiping down desks and disinfecting. Lots of positive cases, kids quarantining, staff... It is a mess and a half.

PP here. Same. On the plus side, we are all getting really proficient at the new game called Covid Among Us. There’s a staff and a student version! Expect even more players when they send everyone back.

Would you might be kind enough to share said URL’s here? I’d be interested in reading about the massacre/slaughter we ought to expect upon the conclusion of the Christmas break.

No. Do your own research. Go argue with your mom.
