[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some perfectly healthy, athletic kids who [u]seemingly had recovered in 2020 from a mild or asymptomatic case of COVID [/u]are now presenting to clinics with long-haul COVID.

What kind of a weird virus is this?!?!?

Not sure how weird it really is. Many viruses can cause sequelae that last for months, sometimes years. I had a respiratory virus more than 10 years ago that developed into a protracted bronchitis, and I suffered from fatigue and shortness of breath for more than a year afterwards. I also had IBS symptoms for more than a year after a norovirus infection, and was told by a gastroenterologist that it is not uncommon. Both eventually resolved.[/quote]

Also "long covid" is very rare in kids. I understand that people read click-bait like that article, but I really object to it being posted on threads about making MAJOR decisions about education in DC.  [/quote]

It’s so cute that you think policy is based off this thread. I used to teach at a white umc school and the only way that this thread shaped policy was my principal laughing at how people thought it mattered [/quote]

Thank god it isn't, as it would be steered by people with no ability to perform rational risk analysis.  Hell, there are people in these threads who can't tell the difference between totals and rates.

how about the one who thought 0.001 was 1/1000?[/quote]
