[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You would rather risk unchecked spread for the extra 5 minutes of learning that might be lost if they don't pull kids out during lunch?  All of us that watched the last 1.5 years go down know full well there is a huge amount of filler in the school day.  I'm OK with my kids missing some of that filler in order to be sure they aren't unknowingly spreading to their classmates or teachers.[/quote]

Spreading to teachers?  Those teachers are mandated to be vaccinated.  Are you one of these anti-vaxxers that think vaccines don't work?  This is exactly why they were put to the front of the line to get a vaccine!  [/quote]

I'm not an anti-vaxxer at all, but where have you been the last month?  Vaccinated people are getting this.  I will give up 5 minutes of my kids learning during a week to get them tested to make sure they are not unknowingly positive and spreading the virus...what exactly is your problem?[/quote]

COVID is not going away.  There's not going to be Zero COVID.  And vaccinated people a[b]re getting the equivalent of a cold or less[/b].  That is the purpose of vaccination.

It sounds like you're saying vaccines don't work then.  Stop with the anti-vax, stay in your home forever nonsense.  It's causing people to not get vaccinated.[/quote]

Not to hijack the thread but this isn't true.  They're getting "mild" illness, which just means you don't need to be hospitalized.  But you may be as sick as you've ever been in your life.  Not just a bad cold.[/quote]

some people are getting as sick as they've ever been in their life.  That is hardly what is happening to most vaccinated people, or most children.  My son had mild covid.   He had a low grade fever lasting less than 24 hours, and chills.  No cough (even though he has moderate asthma) no other symptoms.  No spread to his unvaccinated siblings, or his vaccinated parents.  This is the MOST LIKELY scenario.[/quote]

When was this? Delta?

yes- delta- beginning of August.[/quote]
