[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talking to a few other parents and realized some of them are going to send their kids and watch what happens. Most have a backup plan that when certain number of cases happen in school, they’ll just pull their kids out. Just wonder how many of us are thinking about this and what metrics you’re comfortable with. [/quote]

The case count is a LAGGING indicator of how many children in your school have covid. If you're okay with that go for it.[/quote]
since the spread is exponential we could have a serious crisis on our hands before we know it[/quote]

Indications also are that all elementary kids could get their first shot by October.  Whatever risk exists now won’t exist for much longer. [/quote]

So some leave of absence in September may be worth the try [/quote]

And through October, since the FDA will need time to study the EUA application.  And then through November, to wait until your child can get both shots.  And then through December, because you'll be worried abut Thanksgiving and Christmas travel.[/quote]

Some studies show one shot is already good at preventing severe disease.

For kids specifically with the lower dose? Link to these studies please.[/quote]

No data on kids yet. But for adult there is study.
