See? They need to be in school! Clearly summer vacation is contributing to the spike. [/quote]

If you think we’ll be better off in a congregate setting you are truly delusional. [/quote]

do u think most kids stay at home alone when they are not at school[/quote]

They certainly are not sitting unmasked indoors with 30 other kids which is exactly what they will be doing at school. [/quote]

But they ARE getting it from (probably) family right now.  That's always been true that transmission at home is more prevalent than transmission in schools.  [b]It would seem like keeping kids at home might even lead to MORE spread.[/b]

Really, the focus should be on getting parents vaccinated, if we are very concerned about kids' covid cases.[/quote]

I feel like that was explored earlier in the pandemic -- whether community transmission would be lower if kids were in school versus kept out of school.  That's because people can't just keep their kids at home by themselves; the kids are in congregant childcare settings, or are out at each others' houses, or at their own jobs.  So the number of contacts of each kid is potentially higher than it would have been had they been in school, overall.
