[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, your letter does not mention whether a medical professional has recommended this plan. It is also odd that it only mentions COVID as the danger when there are so many other illnesses that put immunocompromised children at risk. Honestly it reads like a letter from someone who wants COVID restrictions forever, not someone who is concerned about specific children's needs.[/quote]

Of course it hasn't been recommended by a legitimate medical professional. There are no conditions that make unmasked school unsafe but masked school safe.[/quote]

I can absolutely see a doctor saying an immunocompromised student will be safer if everyone around them is masked. Does it tip the scales as to whether to send a child to school or not? I think that is a very individual question.

What I question about the plan with regards to safety is cohorting immunocompromised kids together. If OP consulted a medical professional about this she should say so in the letter. Otherwise it raises a lot of questions for  the safety of the kids.[/quote]

There is logical argument for a 20% risk reduction making an unacceptably dangerous situation suddenly acceptable. Particularly for a chronic risk.[/quote]
