[quote=Anonymous]I understand January and probably February are going to be disrupted, with some schools (or perhaps granularity down to classes at elementary level in some cases) needing to occasionally go virtual for staffing reasons. Ideally with some sort of care for the most vulnerable students who have no options.  The rest of us, well, I basically expect to be screwed as a working parent during the omicron wave.  I've accepted my fate.

But closing 14 days at a time?  That is extremely, unnecessarily conservative.

And based on community spread! Why does it matter how many students are positive or quarantining, unless you get to something like the 20-25% level, where some argument could be made for virtual?  They need to separate these numbers out and report staff and students separately. How can they even make informed decisions about whether they can run a school?  (The answer is that they are closing because of "community spread", not because they can't run a school.)

This is completely silly and not scientific, but I don't have the energy to fight it anymore.  Let's hope this wave is short and painful...[/quote]
