Not happening, lady.[/quote]

I bet you a million pretend dollars that by Thursday Jan 16th, more than 50% of all MCPC middle schools and high schools are moved to virtual learning. Can't be quite so sure about elementary schools.[/quote]

Why do you think school transmission will be higher than community transmission? Community transmission is nowhere near 5 percent. Why, contrary to all evidence, do you think that schools are a magical place where Covid spreads more quickly and efficiently than anywhere else?[/quote]

NP, because my school is 2500 kids who sit together all day in classrooms of 30 (no podding), many of whom wear cloth masks beneath their nose.  Because those kids are sitting mere feet from one another with doors and windows closed fro 45 mins.  Because a number of them come to school sick.  Because they are sitting even closer with masks off at lunch time.  Because they are hormonal teens and so they are still hooking up and partying outside school.  Basically, high school is a germ pit in the best of times.

In the last 4 days before Xmas break, my school reported 70+ positive kids plus some staff.  The only thing that stopped the spread was that parent s stopped sending their kids to school.   It was a ghost town the day before break.

I expect it will be worse, because community spread is now much worse.[/quote]
