[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kids have been hybrid since September. They literally walk in the door, take themselves and their stuff up to their rooms, then hit the books. Not sure they even wash their hands. There hasn't been a single transmission of coronavirus in their school since September--so I am 100% sure that my DD is not bringing it hom with her in her hair. I can't believe the idiocy here.[/quote]

It’s weird because parents have been very upset that their kids haven’t been in all this time because they fully believe it isn’t transmissible in school and won’t affect them and their kids yet now that they’re going in there’s all these elaborates plans for decontamination when they get home? Which is it??[/quote]

This is not black-and-white. Many are sending their kids even though we know there is potential for transmission. Some of us have not been in pods, not doing other things in person so this will be one of the first things we are doing. We feel it is worth the risk. But we know it is not there is not zero risk. There is nothing wrong with finding best practices during a pandemic for goodness sakes. [/quote]

With all due respect if you’re still washing groceries and worrying about kids bringing it home in their hair and clothes, in person isn’t going to be for you. Nothing your kids do when they get home except maybe wash their hands will mitigate the risk of them being exposed to an AIRBORNE respiratory virus. [/quote]

It is really interesting to see what people are planning in order to cope with their anxiety about this. If there's enough of the virus on their hair and/or clothes, they were most certainly exposed to it through their respiratory passages and there's nothing more to be done to prevent what has already occurred. It's also not going to prevent the scenario of needing to quarantine because someone in the class caught Covid outside of school and came to school before they knew that (something parents sending kids to school should probably be more worried about than actual infection).
