[quote=Anonymous]Kids are at low risk of getting infected by other kids, because the viral load is low.  Maybe they got infected at spring break, though they likely would have been outdoors.  
The same thing could have happened if they stayed in town.
By the time a positive test happens, the peak contagiousness period has passed, though they are still contagious and that's why they have a 10 day quarantine.
Why quarantine everyone over a small risk of infection and spread?
Again, the schools are OK with COVID positive students in school, so long as they quarantined 10 days after showing symptoms or testing positive.  They do not quarantine the students who were in class with students who tested positive.  They do not require tests from students who were in class with students who tested positive.
Why quarantine students who have not tested positive, just because they might have been in contact with someone who tested positive, might have gotten infected, and might be contagious enough to spread to others, when they are OK with students who DID come in contact with people who were positive, and students who DID become infected, and students who ARE CURRENTLY INFECTED?[/quote]
