[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I am ever tempted to underestimate how much trauma COVID inflicted on people, seeing posters here taking a hard line “it’s perfectly reasonable for this extra number of people to die or be disabled by a disease I now refer to as ‘normal’ even though I had never heard of it four years ago” reminds me.

Denial is a powerful defense mechanism against things like the thing we’re in.[/quote]

It's not a big deal to them until it happens to them.  We have always been very careful.  I lost a parent to covid.  Its amazing to me how people will justify their behavior at the expense of others and yet claim it takes a village.[/quote]

Excess deaths are way down from the height of the pandemic.

At a certain point you do have to recognize that having so many children miss school is not worth the very small number of deaths that might prevent. There are very real costs. Education matters.

Something is seriously wrong with you.  You are selfish and entitled.  No wonder schools are having problems with parents like you.  [/quote]

What specific Covid protocol do you want families and staff to follow? [/quote]

Stay home when sick or positive.  [/quote]

Everyone here says to stay home when actually sick.

I'm not sure how covid testing is even relevant, given that people aren't going to test unless they're sick, in which case they'd stay home anyway.[/quote]

DP people might test is someone else in the household has COVID. Also people can test positive for several days after they are no longer sick.

I do not agree with staying home until you test negative. That can be a lot of school to miss and it's not at all clear to me you are likely to infect anyone after you feel better.[/quote]

If you are positive you are contagious.  [/quote]
