Doesn't everyone remember this photo where the high school girl was suspended for taking a picture of kids not wearing masks in a crowded high school?

Look how that school district is doing: 
Around 2,000 in person students and 3,000 staff members
COVID cases:
Week of Dec. 7- 131 cases
Week of Dec. 14- 169 cases
Past two week in Jan. 99 cases with 592 close contacts found

Who can still think no one is passing along Covid in schools? Europe is now closing schools. [/quote]

No one is saying COVID doesn’t pass at schools- it just tends to be at levels reflective of the community at large.  In the community you are referencing- I doubt the residents care.  I say this because I have extended family in similar communities down south, and they don’t care. They’ve all been leading normal lives since the summer, they’ve accepted COVID as just something to live with.  [/quote]

You might also look at the COVID-19 data for the county where this picture was taken - Paulding County, Georgia. This picture was taken in AUGUST.

The numbers didn't really go up there until November, aligned with colder weather and holidays. To be sure school positivity aligns with positivity in the community. But it is interesting that even in a district where people are generally not taking COVID seriously and in public schools were protocols were so lax, they didn't see major spread in school.  In fact, COVID numbers wend down in the months after school started.
