[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have two kids in APS and things don’t seem to be falling apart at all.

Interesting.[/quote]

I know tons of APS families down with COVID.  It’s spreading like crazy out there![/quote]

Highest levels aside from the omicron winter wave. [/quote]

And?  COVID will be here forever, and everyone will get it.  We've all had it and are done with any of this nonsense testing or restrictions. Living normal and not even thinking about it.[/quote]And it's super disruptive if tons of teachers and kids are out sick.  Do you shrug at a norovirus outbreak?  Just resign yourself to puking for three days?  I'm not gojng to stick my head in the sand and have my family catch covid and spend a week or more feeling awful.  We should all be outside as much as possible and masking inside with well fitting N95s/KN95s.  There's a wave right now.  Let's take sensible measures.[/quote]

Serious question.  Do you think the masking helped in January?  I know your answer will be yes.  My answer would be probably some but also not as much as you think it did.  I've seen how little kids wear masks.  I've also seen what the high school kids do on the weekends and how much the mask is around their chins.

You all think we have way more control than we really do.  That we could just mask harder and this would stop happening to us collectively.  No.  The wave is going to come and go.  If you personally really want to do everything possible to make sure you and your family don't get it during this wave, which will go on regardless and would be happening even if there was still an APS mask mandate, wear an N95 at all times and put the fear of god in your children and tell them not to eat snack in class and hope that they actually wear their mask correctly all day.  That's really the best you're going to be able to do anymore.  Also, don't go inside unmasked with anyone.  Those are all things within your control.[/quote]
