[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So will there be three different types of quarantines with three different responses?

Case 1. Student in class tests positive for COVID. Entire class quarantines at home, alongside the teacher, who pivots to virtual instruction.

Case 2. Student travels, reports it and quarantines. No other students stay home from class, and the student receives 0 instruction (of any type?).

Case 3. Student does not travel and has an exposure elsewhere in the DMV. Student reports it and quarantines. No other students stay home from class. Should this student receive any instruction or no?[/quote]

I think Case 3 sounds like they won't receive instruction, purely based on logistics.

Case 2 and 3 don't have to quarantine if student is vaccinated, I think.  That's at least true for travel.

What's going to be interesting is Case 1 when there are vaccinated and unvaccinated kids in the classroom. So then potentially for Case 1 we get the unvaccinated kids getting no instruction because they have to go home, while the vaccinated kids stay in person.[/quote]

In case 3, isn't that a powerful incentive to not test/report exposure? A family could do everything right and still have an accidental minor exposure. Perhaps your child is accidentally exposed to an individual who coughs on them a few times. You don't know if this person has COVID or not. If you do the right thing and test, your child could end up with no instruction for two weeks, even if they do not actually have COVID.[/quote]

In the scenario you describe where you don't know if the cougher is positive, you could 1) not test your child (no exposure quarantine), or 2) test your child (still no exposure quarantine, but if they test positive you gotta quarantine them for being positive).  If you don't know if the cougher is positive you have no "exposure" that would keep your kid out of school.

In another scenario, the cougher tests later that day after coughing on your kid and is positive.  So your child has been "exposed."  You could 1) not let anyone at the school know your kid has been exposed and not test your kid, 2) not let anyone at the school know your kid has been exposed and test your kid (then keep them home if it is positive), 3) let the school know your kid has been exposed, and gas to stay home for two weeks, regardless of whether you test your kid or not, regardless of whether or not your kid tests negative.[/quote]

Come on. If your kid has an exposore of any sort, then you brought your kid to the grocery store, or socialized unmasked or let your kid lick playground equipment. That's on you.[/quote]

Are you….shaming parents for bringing kids to the GROCERY STORE?  Are you completely heartless, clueless, or both?[/quote]
