No and No.

Please homeschool.

Our school stopped weekly testing for the year. Kinda weird, don't really get it. Why would you stop 3 weeks out?

So shut down schools is your answer to preventing hepatitis? Keep Larla at home. There. You won.

We know kids are statistically very unlikely to get very sick from Covid (so much so that it's been hard to even prove vaccine efficacy for this cohort), and we also know we are all statistically very likely (if not guaranteed) to get Covid (probably repeatedly). Given this, what is the perceived benefit of school interruptions, and what is the basis for believing it outweighs the known harm?

You keep posting this stuff to try to bully others into thinking like you are. In MCPS, numbers are very high given its only the second week in May for May and its spreading again at an alarming rate. Mitigation is important to keep our community healthy. There is NO herd immunity. There is no better vaccine. This is as good as it gets.

We will keep our kids in remote except if we can find a school that handles it responsibly which we have yet to do.

I'd rather your kids get covid and your family vs. ours. Kids don't live alone. They live with adults who live in a community so them getting and spreading covid doesn't just impact the child, but also their family and community.

And, define very sick? My last "cold" as an adult has lasted over a month and I still cannot get over it, with multiple antibiotics. My child doesn't feel good about bringing it home to me, and in fact feels terrible about it.

Wow. Very, very dramatic. Please see your health care provider and address the underlying health issues you and your family have so that you can place the correct degree of emphasis on Covid.

Is there any link between hepatitis and Covid?????

None established. The link appears to be adenovirus.

But, goes to show the drastic health-effects viruses can have in children.

Bars and restaurants are packed in the DC area. If any school is going remote right now, it's absolute disregard for children.

I don't think any schools are going remote, but how many are still testing? Curious.

Ha. My kids last day is next Wednesday. So, no.

the WHO is also looking at whether a prior Covid infection — even a mild or asymptomatic case — could have somehow prompted kids’ immune systems to react abnormally to otherwise harmless adenoviruses.

What school? I would like mine to stop.

Our school just sent out a notification that there is an outbreak tied to one of the school's classrooms. It seems like the only reason they notified the school community is because it will appear on the VDH dashboard as an outbreak locatoin.

MCPS? This is a private school forum. Please take your alarmist, dated views to the public school forum.

I really really doubt anyone will go virtual again not matter the case numbers.

Why not though (not asked with snark). They have the capability to do so.

I'd similarly hope they would do virtual if there were any other kind of outbreak ... flu, norovirus, etc.
