[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hopefully DCPS will do a better job than in March, when they basically left it up to parents to tell whomever they felt like telling.

Although I don't believe the flu comparison is correct, I don't see this going down much differently than a bad flu season at elementary schools.  The focus will be on instructing symptomatic kids to stay home until fever resolves (maybe 3-7 days after no fever).  The biggest disruption will be all the staff and teachers that get seriously ill/dies.  That's what I am dreading -- so many of the amazing teachers & staff at our school are vulnerable.  [/quote]

But they will already have been exposed by then unless they plan on locking themselves down until there is a vaccine and ignoring the reopening happening over the summer.[/quote]

Who, the teachers?  No, I fully expect these teachers and most other people to continue social distancing through the summer.  I don't have any particular risk factors, and I know that I am not going to be going to any movie theaters or bars for a long, long time.  I won't start facing exposure unless/until I have to start going into the office and taking public transportation, just like the teachers.  [/quote]

Then you won't be exposed in a movie theater or bar, but instead at work, or at a grocery store, or in an elevator. But the plan isn't to avoid people getting sick. It's to slow how quickly people get sick. Otherwise we wouldn't open schools until there is a vaccine, and that is not any state or country's plan. [/quote]
