[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I disagree that testing is the answer.

We need to manage a situation where Delta and future variants are transmissible in a couple of unmasked minutes.

So by the time you test, even if you test daily, the entire school can be victim of a superspreading event in the cafeteria, because everyone takes off their mask to eat.

The only solution to these variants is to eat outside. We must invest in tents, fans (summer) and heaters (winter). Any activity that also requires unmasking, like choir, can also be done in that location. If schools absolutely have to open before this can be implemented, we need to open all the windows of rooms where people are unmasked, and put fans to ventilate.

Only then will regular testing and contact tracing be an efficient means of shutting down viral clusters.

Eating outside is a good idea though it should not be a precondition. Why don't you write to your principal and pta? Last year DCPS had funding for tents but few schools requested them. Try to get parents on board and get your school to do it. [/quote]
