[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not all 50,000 kids are in school- the denominator on number of outbreaks is considerably lower.[/quote]

Childcare centers are required to report every case to DC health. If they don't comply, they risk being shutdown. Also, the definition of outbreak, as stated in the website, is two or more cases reported in a location within 14 days, but they do not have to be related. In other words, it does not mean that transmission occurred within the center. When community transmission is high, people are more likely to be exposed in multiple settings.

Our kids have been in childcare since August. They've had around 6 cases thus far in the center (which cares for over 500 kids). At least two cases met the 'outbreak' definition, but in-classroom transmission did not happen -cases were not related, in different classrooms and people never met. After the 14 day quarantine period, nobody else tested positive. We know of another childcare center that had a few related cases because the affected teachers were friends and met outside classes to chat. It also did not spread further.  [/quote]
