[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just really want to understand the risk of Long Covid to a kid who gets regular, mild Covid. My (limited) research has not found me answers.[/quote] Yes, that is exactly the question that the most cautious parents would like answered before we drop our kids off for mandatory in-person school in five weeks. Between 0.5 and 25%. Not even bothering with links to studies, because the range is so ridiculously broad so far. Weirdly, we (I) keep saying/thinking "data from the UK will tell us soon," but we might actually fully caught up with them because we are slightly less vaccinated and we test a lot less. [/quote] So, what would you like come fall? A fully remote option, hybrid for everyone? We aren't going to have a vaccine nor evidence on long covid given kids are often not symptomatic at all and we would have to wait a year or more to know if that lasts or something comes up.[/quote] I'm the first PP. I want full-time school with masks and other reasonable precautions (like open the windows!).[/quote] NP but I really think open windows will be important. I know HVAC systems are good but I feel like opening all windows possible for as long as possible can be really effective. Throw in some fans for good measure! Keep that air circulating and keep getting fresh air into the rooms![/quote] Agree. I also don’t understand why they can’t get one of those hepa filter machines that some doctors offices use for every classroom, instead of wasting money on devices for ineffective virtual instruction.[/quote] Wasn’t there recently a study on how garbage those were for COVID prevention? [/quote] I thought there were some that were fraudulent, but not all? Didn’t Joseph Allen recommend the technology in an article?[/quote] Knowing DCPS they probably purchased the faulty ones . . . But that’s why the windows being open is an old fashioned solution. And a bunch of box fans if push comes to shove. [/quote]
