[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a Washington post article about a teacher in California that took of her mask to read a book and now half the class has covid. I can’t read it because of Paywall. Anyone read it?! Curious what it says and what’s really true about the title. [/quote]

Masks required, kids socially distanced, and desks six feet apart. Teacher was unvaccinated and had nasal congestion. She assumed it was allergies and took her mask off for story time,.
[i]
"By the time she learned she was positive for the coronavirus two days later, half her class of 24 had been infected — nearly all of them in the two rows closest to her desk — and the outbreak had spread to other classes, siblings and parents, including some who were fully vaccinated."[/i]

The county says don't blame the teacher. She only briefly took off the mask for story session. Case highlights the danger of in-person learning for the unvaccinated under-12 age group - per the CDC Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky.

[i]"A simulation posted this month by a CDC-funded lab predicted that in elementary schools without either masks or regular testing, more than 75 percent of children might be infected with the coronavirus in the first three months."[/i]

NIH still not expecting to have EUA for vaccines for under 12 before end of year or even early 2022.

[i]"That forecast has spurred alarm among some public officials and health providers, with more than 180,000 new child covid-19 cases confirmed in the week ending Aug. 19 — an up to 20-fold increase over weeks in June when summer breaks began."[/i][/quote]
