[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Predictions I've seen have been around the 20-30 day mark after school starts.

Our school started Monday, no cases reported Tuesday. 6 cases Wednesday, 12 cases Thursday, 18 cases Friday.

The R0 of Delta is no joke. Where previously it was spreading to 2 - 3 people per infected person, delta is up over 8 based on some studies. That grows FAST. [/quote]

Which schools in FCPS started Monday, or are you not in Fairfax?[/quote]

My DC who only has contact with FCPS friends got COVID last week.  You can't time this.  There will be a lot of cases, they just will be underreported because they are asymptomatic or very mild due to a lot of the kids being vaccinated.  My DC's case was mild and we reported it--not everyone will do that. I have friends who view getting COVID as inevitable and won't keep their kids home for a mild case that can be disguised.

Your friends are idiots. A mild case is still extremely contagious. They’re the reason many will need to quarantine. Let’s hope they’re not the reason someone ends up in hospital.[/quote]

Your friends are exactly why it will look like this here soon.

So honestly why do we care, if most of the cases are asymptomatic or mild?[/quote]

Hospitals in the South and Midwest say they are treating more children with Covid-19 than ever and are preparing for worse surges to come.

Cases there have jumped over the past six weeks as the highly contagious Delta variant spreads primarily among unvaccinated people. That is leading to more sick kids in places where community spread of the variant is high, public-health experts say.[/quote]
