[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is an easy fix: healthy kids and teachers go to school. Sick kids and teachers stay home until better. No testing, no quarantining little Sophie who has no symptoms but dropped a positive. No quarantining little Johnny who was exposed to Sophie and is no considered unvaccinated bc he’s not boosted. Sick=home. Healthy=school. This is an approach many countries are taking now. I actually wonder if we did this religiously all along if we’d be better off both wrt Covid and collateral damage. [/quote]

Without testing you have no idea who is sick so you need testing.   Vaccination status is meaningless for transmission.  [/quote]

A virus so deadly and worthy of destroying our society that you don’t even know who has it unless you test. No more testing. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze to tell people with no symptoms to stay home. They won’t anyway. Agree with you that unvaccinated and vaccinated kids should be treated the same — allowed to go to school unless actually sick. [/quote]

If you test positive you are sick.  Not testing is irresponsible.  You keep being irresponsible and MCPS will continue to have issues partly because of admin and partly because of parents like you.[/quote]

Hard stop. No. Stop playing this ridiculous game. We’re not testing for asymptomatic flu, RSV, or anything else. Why do this with covid? Completely ridiculous. Everyone is vaccinated now. Onward. [/quote]

There is no such thing as asymptomatic flu or pre-symptomatic flu transmission. COVID is a different ballgame. It's possible that the path forward might include testing for those exposed or with symptoms, and then a return to school with a mask required if the teacher feels well enough.

I do think that we need to drop the quarantines for unvaccinated people. [/quote]
