[quote=Anonymous]I agree with this.  But here is what pisses me off about the travel quarantine.  If dcps offered me a virtual option I would take it.  We c Xc operated with virtual all last year when there was little risk to children but we agreed that we wanted to keep our teachers and our community safe when vaccines were t yet available to anyone.  Now vaccines still aren’t available to my children and delta has shown to be a danger to children and dcps is saying you don’t have a choice but to send your children to school and expose them to covid because we adults, who your children protected all last year, are not willing to make any sacrifices (such as setting up virtual classrooms) to protect them.  And to make matters worse, we will not allow them to travel out of state.  Never mind that they are about 100 times more likely to catch covid in school than they will be when we travel to our cabin in the PA woods for some hiking or x-country skiing.  Oh and when they do catch covid in school, they will still claim it came in from “the outside” bc there will be no testing to show it came from the inside.

And before anyone says “covid is not transmitted in school” we all know that was a lie to begin with, and even to the extent that transmission rates were low with earlier variants, AlL public health experts are now saying we can expect delta rates to increase when schools starts.  Especially when school systems, including dcps, have reduced their mitigation measures.  And no data on transmissibility or 3 feet vs 6 feet seems still all relevant to delta.

And ps I would gladly take a virtual option were it available.  But friendship is full and we are not medically fragile.[/quote]
