[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]If there arenlt enough teachers to teach, there will be even more learning loss from cancelled classes like in NYC. You don't seem to have a plan for that besides let it rip through, which isn't a plan. [/quote]

It seems like letting it rip through schools is better for kids than the quarantine measures in their place.

[b]With quarantining, unvaccinated kids can be quarantining for months[/b], worst case scenario. They quarantine for 10 days, someone in the classroom tests positive, we go back into quarantine. Then we go back to school and someone else is positive. And on and on for like 25 kids x 10+ days of quarantining.

If we just let it take it’s course, that seems better. Maybe a teacher gets sick and we have to be out five days, like we might if a teacher had a cold. Then we can get back to learning the rest of the year. If kids get sick, they are just out until they are 24 hrs without a fever, like a cold. Its the unvaccinated, elderly, and cancer patients that are at risk and filling up hospitals. Let them quarantine. Don’t ask extremely low risk kids to quarantine consecutively.

I know it seems cavalier, but we were pretty cavalier about the cold and even the flu for healthy kids before covid. The data shows covid presents less risk than the flu for vaccinated adults and even unvaccinated kids. I thought the end goal was to get this point—covid will be another endemic illness like the cold and flu and we just live with those risks without even considering policies that may result in kids out of class for half a year.

All kids 5+ can get vaccinated. 12+ can get boosted if over 5 months.

At this point I don't have any sympathy for a 10 day quarantine for unvaccinated.  If you don't like it, get your kid vaccinated.[/quote]

Yep. Not sorry antivaxxers.[/quote]

Preschoolers who are too young for vaccination exist you know.[/quote]
