[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The annoying thing is that positivity rates in NYC schools are tiny, even taking into account that some families don't let their kids get randomly tested. It's definitely not schools that are driving the spread. [/quote]
How exactly are you taking that into account? They have not tested a single student or staff member at my school this school year. I’m not the only one. And only 15% of the 25% of students currently attending had permission slips. Not even all of those students have been tested. Please, tell us how you’re accounting for that, as well as the 2,603 staff and students who have come up positive from late September to mid November. [/quote]

Did any of the kids or staff members at your school get sick?[/quote]
We had many people at my school get very sick (some hospitalized, some lost multiple family members to the virus) at our school in March (NYC was one of the last districts to shut down). We have also had a shutdown with multiple people sick just last week. Some of them in turn got their entire family sick and are living with elderly people who are high risk. It’s very weird how intellectually we know the virus is spreading quickly right now but people assume that it just won’t happen to them or in their community. Again, why would schools be the only indoor gathering place where transmission just doesn’t occur? It defies logic. [/quote]

I’m not understanding why no one at your school is getting tested if multiple people got sick?  Or is this a different poster?[/quote]
