[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The reality is that once you unmask there are too many close contacts in school.

Its too much of an administrative headache for schools

Especially since most school based close contacts don't end of contracting covid

Time to end the quarantines

None of it every made sense. The "mask mandate" had the vast majority of kids wearing other-than-N-95 masks anyway ... so you'd have kids wearing those blue/white surgical masks, or some little Etsy cloth mask with dinosaurs on it. And nothing about those masks does a darn thing to reduce "close contacts" in school. It's not like there wouldn't be "close contacts" with a COVID positive kid just because they had their Etsy dinosaur masks on. Mask or no mask, a close contact is a close contact. Period.

I do agree that with the new variant so much more mild and the CDC telling us that "essentially everybody" will get it anyway, the whole quarantine thing has to go. There is no point -- everybody is going to get it; that's the accepted science.

If a kid is sick with any symptoms, keep them home until they're better. That's about the best we can do. There is no reason to be quarantining healthy, asymptomatic kids.[/quote]
