[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess the question is, how much of a charade is quarantine, when there is no contact tracing in the community? Do we know how common it is for kids or teachers to test positive after an exposure at daycare or preschool, and is it more common to test positive after a known exposure than just randomly, since there are so many unknown exposures? [/quote]

Quarantine never made sense after there was a moderate number of cases in the community. It particularly never made sense for young kids, given the high incidence of asymptomatic cases. Quarantines are a ridiculously blunt instrument that do far more harm than good. Other kids in the classroom rarely test positive after an exposure.[/quote]

100% this.  Notify parents when there's a case and allow them to keep their kids home for a few days if they want, but quarantines harm kids and families and they are really inappropriate at this stage in the pandemic.  Keep sick kids home, let healthy kids go to school.[/quote]
