[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it should be delayed until the test everyone within the school community. And then continue with weekly testing at minimum for the time being. This is possible at independent schools in dc. None are huge. [/quote]
I'm the PP who posted the academic study links, and who thinks major shutdowns are warranted, and even I agree that what you describe is a reasonable middle-ground. Make Monday a test-everyone day, where students come in at predetermined times for testing. Since everyone should be back from their travels, this will catch most (not all but most) of the virus kids have picked up on travel. Tuesday is a virtual school day while we await results.  On Wednesday, those kids to tested negative can come to school.  Those who tested positive get to quarantine until five days after a negative test.  Schools should re-impose weekly testing over the next month or so, to match the Omicron surge.[/quote]

Leaving the USA over winter break and going anywhere else - to just about any other country save maybe Belarus put you in a less infectious environment than most of America right now

To fly to Europe we had to have a negative PCR in the previous 1-3 days AND proof of vaccination, including booster

AND we had to wear an N95 in the Airport the whole time and on the plane. The pilots were recommending not eating on the pre-flight announcement OR at minimum- if you must eat - remask between bites and no talking while eating

In our host country the entire population was mandated to test weekly, 87 percent were fully vaccinated

And then we had to test negative 24 hrs before our flight back plus show our vaccine records again or no boarding the return flight

US domestic flight meanwhile- you do NOT even have to be vaccinated, no testing required to fly AND inside the airport it’s like a giant mall with everyone with masks off eating, drinking and using community shared iPads to pass the time, order food etc…super spreader sites if I ever saw one

The US is a joke in terms of enforcement- just look at the TSA website and notice how hundreds of TSA screeners at every major US Airport have tested positive

If you must travel - leave the country or go somewhere domestic and drive . [/quote]

curious your host country since many countries with tough rules are overrun with Covid now hence what we are doing globally is not working[/quote]
