[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do we need to COVID data for teachers that have not returned to school?[/quote]

Because they WILL return and will possibly infect your kids. They can carry the virus even after they are vaccinated - parents please be aware of that. Thank goodness there will be masks, but lunch is VERY concerning. I am not suggesting we don't return, we just need more mitigations in place.[/quote]

It is incredibly unlikely a vaccinated person can infect someone else. It hasn’t been explicitly studied yet, so they can’t say that for sure, but soon it will be. [/quote]

Yes.  I would tend to agree with that based on what I’ve read, although no certainty.   I would say at some point, people ages 16 and up are going to all be vaccinated, and pretty safe from this virus. The problem is going to be with kids ages 10 to 16, and the possibility of them infecting one another.  The prognosis on kids is generally good, but, I don’t know.... not always.  Some children have gotten very, very ill.   The asymptomatic spread kind of reminds me of strep. You could have someone that’s a carrier, and you wouldn’t know it, and they might be in your kids’ classroom.

We’re looking at a much better scenario with adults vaccinated.   Teachers, and hopefully soon, parents at home that could get it from the kids.[/quote]
