If your school tested everyone, and shared the percent positive, what is it and what are they doing?

We moved to a private school primarily because of their covid protocols, because we have a high risk household member. We're grateful that the school community thinks he's worth protecting.

You don’t care about the safety of the community, you said it yourself - you have a high risk household member. That’s who you care about. Don’t lecture everyone else about looking out for their families when that’s exactly what you’re doing.

What about those community members? Where’s your concern for them?

Agree. It isn’t just the virus, gang. Long term harm comes in many forms. Our school leaders continue to let us down. Testing perfectly healthy kids with no symptoms who are vax’d makes zero sense. Much greater harm than greater good.

You can't be for real.

While I am not the entire string, I am the last poster and I am very real and not alone. We are doing far more harm than good to kids that have been fully vax'd. I see zero reason for a school to test an asymptomatic, vax'd child that is essentially in a 100% vax'd cohort. Numbers say the worst vax'd kids will get are cold-like symptoms. No hospitalization. No deaths. Are their outliers re symptoms, of course. But school policy shouldn't be made on outlier cases.

It is pretty clear that we are all going to get some version of Omicron...get vax'd and move on for the vast, vast majority of people.

Last poster, I’m confused about why you think testing harms kids. It’s a quick nasal swab. And I’m pretty sure a lot of this revolves around keeping teachers healthy, not just students. Can’t run a school with a bunch of sick teachers.

Teachers are vax'd too, so they are safe from hospitalization and death. Re testing kids, it's a fair question to ask. I think we should be trying to move on and learn to live w this virus. Constant testing only drives paralysis of our community, economy and our lives. Kids feel this, in my opinion. Parents push it on kids as well. Lastly, if a child shows no symptoms and is vax'd, testing is nothing more than medical (and prob some legal) positions satisfied. Waste of resources.

How would you feel if you were age 12-14 double vax Ed, wearing masks everywhere for over 2 years, then we’re tested weekly for two years. Each week waiting to find out “ am I positive”, “ will they make me stay home”, “ will I die”, “will I give it to someone else who will die” and all this time you are actually healthy, and just paralyzed by what if’s snd fear.

It’s outrageous

And most of those kids are in public schools, so when a private school takes steps that don't prioritize the safety of the community, they are contributing to those things in the most vulnerable.

You can't possibly claim that sending your privileged child to school with covid protects vulnerable kids from violence, unless you are a child abuser.

I agree. I’m so sick of everything being shut down for the immunocompromised - we did it for so long, you’re welcome! But I strongly object to doing it again. Everyone should just get covid over with it. Immunocompromised people can stay home, which is unfortunate and not ideal, but better than the entire population staying home.

Langley is back as of yesterday, but the PCR results aren’t in yet.

What vendors/ contractors are different schools using right now for testing? Names would be helpful!

Are schools planning weekly testing? Are the supplies even available for weekly testing?

I wish people would stop living in this they are vax'd so they wont get sick or die fairy tale.

I am 100 percent certain some vax'd teachers will die this month. Hopefully no vaxed kids will die.

Risk of death is multifactorial:
Age
Weight
Preexisting conditions
Vax status: Which vax? When/if boosted?

They are still in person. Lunch outside, no assemblies, disposable masks. They already had good precautions in place. I’m not sure anything else could be added. I am comfortable with sending my child.

I don't see how our school can have lunch outside in the next few weeks...they never put in tents and it's super cold out. Jealous of the schools with outside tents/heaters. Good investment.

My middle schooler ate lunch outside yesterday. They lived.

I'm all for it but at some point the school will call it an inside lunch - tents help with rain, wind etc.

What do you say to the many DMV elementary schools that have se vaxxed / see.unvaxxed kids? You know vaxxed, asymptomatic folks are probably helping quite a bit to spread Omnicron .

Sounds like you’re advocating for people to go to school and work while actively infected.

My kid's Pk-8th had slightly less than 2% positive on instant tests. Teachers and students are required to be vaccinated so maybe that's why the numbers seem below average. School was back open yesterday and my kid reported it was business as usual.

My 12 year old could not care less about testing. Not all kids are feeling the way you describe. I think you’ve passed on your anxiety. For my kid COVID tests are now as worrisome as brushing her teeth.

That's well over 10%.

So?

I would send my kid too.
