[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apparently the new “guidance” confirms what we’ve been hearing. If a child has “symptoms” associated with COVID (could be a runny nose) their close contacts (this has been interpreted as the entire class in many schools) are quarantined for ten days.

This is completely ludicrous and not based in science or CDC guidelines.[/quote]

hey can't know with 100% certainty which kids within an overcrowded classroom came into contact over the course of several hours so quarantining the entire class is the best effort to follow CDC guidelines. I'm sorry you feel that isn't convenient but they are concerned with child safety. [/quote]

If the CDC wanted to recommend quarantining the entire class if one person in it has a covid symptom, then they could do so. But they specifically have NOT done so. Maybe you should write to them.[/quote]

I think the CDC knows parents in red states would stop listening to them altogether if they did that. Remember being told not to bother wearing masks? [/quote]

So your position is that MCPS is following the guidance that CDC has actually NOT issued but would secretly like to? :roll: [/quote]

No, you're just interpreting the guidance incorrectly because it seems inconvenient to you. [/quote]
