[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think we are going to pull around Thanksgiving. The numbers are insane right now and I don't trust other families to not have holiday gatherings. [/quote]

The numbers are greater because testing wasn't available in at the beginning of the pandemic as it is now.   If we could have tested at the beginning of the pandemic, you would have noticed much higher numbers than their are today.  You can do what you want, but to pull your kid during the holidays I believe would not be a smart move for several reasons.  Firstly, preschool spots are in high demand as many preschools have closed and closed for good.  People have been returning to work for some time now and need spots for their children.  Secondly, every bit of research out their notes that preschools are very low risk to catch COVID.  Also, children statistically much less likely than adults to contract COVID.  Yale did this recent study:

Again, do what you want, but make sure you review the facts.  Science matters.[/quote]
