[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools have been operating in person all around the country for quite some time now. My kids went back in person in FCPS elementary for 4th quarter last school year. They did not have a single case of covid. I think it's going to be fine. And I think they will roll with whatever happens. I know in FCPS, the health department is responsible for handling contact tracing and determining quarantine. Anecdotally, they seem to rarely to quarantining a whole classroom. I just don't think it's going to be that difficult to figure things out as they come. [/quote]

Was it a full class last year? Did they eat crammed into the cafeteria? Was community spread high then? Was Delta around then? Things have changed since the spring. [/quote]

Yes, it was the same size class as this year 22 kids in one, 24 in the other. Actually, community number in fairfax right now are the same as they were in April. They did not eat crammed in the cafeteria and they are not eating crammed in the cafeteria this year either in our elementary. I'm sure there will be cases and exposures, but I'm still not worried about rampant spread. Plus, they've been through so many scenarios that they have a lot to fall back on. If an elementary school class has to go virtual for 2 weeks, then they will. They know how to do it.

I'm ready for anything and know this could go a lot of different ways, but I don't understand the panic. Almost 80% of adults in FFX are vaccinated and 77% of 12-18 year olds have had at least their first dose. That's a pretty hard stopping line for spread and also will keep the vast majority of people out of the hospitals in our area. [/quote]

So Fairfax County public schools did not do hybrid last spring? You all went back full time in person in your elementary?[/quote]
