[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Modeling (based on DC’s use of masks, HVAC upgrades and testing of up to 10% of kids each weeks) shows that more than 50% of kids will get COVID in the first 90 days of school.

So if you care about your kids getting COVID, it’s appropriate to be nervous. [/quote]

Totally agree.   There are real things to be nervous about.  I think there are a lot of other nervous parents out there, based on the questions that I heard on our schools’ back to school calls.  Here we are controlling as much as we can.  KN95s for the kids and frequent testing so that if we do have a case we catch it early.  We also will not hesitate to keep our kids at home if there is a case in the classroom even if we are not deemed a “close contact”.  Hopefully this will put our odds at below 50 percent.  But that is still not a risk that we take lightly.  And it is comforting to me to know that there are others in the same boat.

Where can I find that model by the way?  I believe it is true based on what we know about the way covid spreads and what communities with IPL saw last year even with a less contagious virus.  but would be interested to see it.  [/quote]
