[quote=Anonymous]The ATL schools haven’t been in session long enough for transmission to have occurred at school. These kids got covid at home.

My DC was in school in person all last year. There were fairly frequent instances where small groups of kids were quarantined because a child had tested positive. The teachers all had cameras in the classrooms and the quarantined kids did DL during the quarantine period. Not a big deal. There were zero cases of transmission at school; all cases were from exposure at home. They did do a week of DL for everyone after Thanksgiving and Christmas, as a precaution. It actually doesn’t surprise me that there are a lot of cases right at the start of school, as everyone gets back from summer travels and camps. That will probably slow down when everyone gets back into a routine and stays at home.

If everyone freaks out every time a kid gets quarantined, then in person isn’t going to work, and, based on threads like this, I suspect that’s going to be the case for the majority of the DMV. [/quote]
