[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Every single study has come back saying kids don’t spread COVID in schools more than they would in whatever alternative arrangements they would be in, and rates in schools are lower than in equivalent populations. The only intervention that actually seems to matter re: rates is the *teacher* being masked and that largely on affects transmission rates between teachers. It is time to go back using whatever precautions we can, but not holding everything hostage over those we can’t.[/quote]

You can be in favor of this plan but you are incorrect about the studies. Misinformation does no one any favors.

This article you linked notes the following:

"....much of the rise in pediatric cases can be linked to the reopening of schools and youth sports." No youth sports are reopening that includes contact.

"....social gatherings after youth sporting events are also contributing to the spread. " Also not relevant to the DCPS reopening because no said sponsored events.

"If everyone is removing their mask and going out to dinner to celebrate a big win then all of those precautions go out the door," she said. "So really, this seems to have driven this surge."  No comment, this one speaks for itself.

I'm done now, the rest of the article talks mostly about sports and then the effects of COVID. Maybe try harder next time?
