[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a teacher. I really don’t think it’s going to be bad HERE. We have masks and many vaccinated adults. We just have to make it to when 5-11 can get the vaccine which shouldn’t be too long. It’s really going to be fine. Staff are confident at my school that some kids may quarantine here and there but outbreaks and true spread in school will be minimal. When kids quarantined in spring it was always because someone at home had tested + but rarely did the kids themselves test +. [/quote]

I hope you are correct.

However you are wrong to compare with last year. Delta is 225% more transmissible.

Yeah I understand that but again, we have a full mask mandate and vaccinated adults so it’s less likely our kids will come in having been exposed at home. I do not think it’s going to be some doomsday scenario and I don’t think we will close schools again. [/quote]

You realize vaccinated individuals can transmit Covid to unvacced? So yes — they could get it at home and even if they don’t over a million school-age kids all congregating together will definitely transmit it. Half of the school-age population is unvaccinated and rushing into the buildings is only going to make a fall lockdown inevitable rather than potential.

A lockdown isn’t coming. You going to be disappointed when your doomsday prediction doesn’t come true and DL for all doesn’t happen?[/quote]

+1.  Two things.

First, we aren’t Mississippi, which has what, a 37% vaxx rate and no one wearing a mask?  We literally have twice the vaxx rate, even among ages 12-18.  Plus mandatory masking. Plus an ever increasing number of indoor places you cannot access without a vaccine. Comparing us to KS on COVId mitigation is apples to oranges.

Two, you are misrepresenting the article.  It says that if you are vaxxed AND GET COVID you can be fined or jailed if you don’t quarantine.  Vaxxed people with COVID have always been supposed to quarantine. They just weren’t in MS, and now the law has some teeth.   It does not say there is a lockdown. [/quote]

You know what we are though? Virginia. I await with eagerness you picking this apart and then the rising cases next week and the schools announcing immediately closures in September.

The 'OMG how could this happen?!' when we've literally been living this exact scenario for 18 months is just incredible.

It takes a special brand of a@@hole to root for kids to get COVID and against kids getting in person school— in many cases for the first time in 1.5 years.  So congrats on the having no soul thing.

Also ROVA =/= NOVA. No one knows what will happen until we try. But, we’ve waited 1.5 years. At some point, we have to try.  [/quote]

Oh good grief.  If you've gone to the point of vilifying someone with a different opinion to the point of accusing that person of rooting for kids to get covid, I suggest you take a deep breath and try regain some measures of perspective.  People can't see the future so they are trying their best to try make some sense of what will happen in the future.  The truth will likely be somewhere in the middle.  No, not every child will get covid and trigger the beginning of apocalypse.  And no, things will probably not go back to normal in the immediate future and covid will continue to dog us, whether we like it or not.

Reasonable people can disagree and the best situation may be different for each family and their situation.[/quote]
