[quote=Anonymous]Ugh.  I believe this modeling.  We haven't heard anything from Deal about mitigation measures besides masking.  So I think I need to assume that there is a 40% chance my kid will get covid in the first semester.  In fact, maybe there is a greater than 40% chance, because by virtue of it being a very large middle school where grades all eat lunch together, and the kids are older and have higher viral loads, transmissibility is probably much greater than at the average school in the study.  This is a damn shame b/c she will be fully vaccinated by the second semester, at which point I will gladly send her in person, and I know one more virtual semester will not hold her back.  Balancing those risks, I'll gladly fill out a Friendship application.

But if I heard anything more from Deal about plans to do layered mitigation (as public health experts recommend), like cohort or outside lunch, I would accept the risk and send my kid in-person.

But it doesn't seem like parents are going to have a complete set of information before being forced to make these hard decisions.  It is completely ridiculous.[/quote]
