[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No way am I signing up for this. If my asymptomatic kid tests positive, all three of his siblings need to miss two+ weeks of school? No way, especially since no one else in their class will have to quarantine.[/quote] Oh OK, so it’s fine for them to asymptomatically spread it to an at risk individual? Like my child, or sports coach who has an elderly family member, or to one of your own family members? I’ve never been so sickened by people than in this past year. Pure selfishness. And all so their kids won’t miss two weeks of school. [/quote] My kids are going to school and that’s it. No activities outside of school because nothing for my family is worth the risk. I work from home and the bus stop/pickup from school are the only times I leave the house. I am a single mom and have four elementary age kids who are too young to be vaccinated. If one of them tests positive for covid, that child is home for two weeks since they are asymptomatic. His sibling are home for those two weeks, and then another two weeks after his quarantine period ends. There is no kick out period to lower the quarantine— you have to be excluded for at least ten days past the last encounter with the positive case— so the most conservative amount of time my asymptomatic kids will be out of school is 24 days. Since it’s only them, that’s effectively a month with no school. They are already behind. I will not be able to catch them up. If they got sick, it came from school. They don’t go anywhere else. If you want to call people selfish, call the asshats who refuse to vaccinate, or the people asking for no masks, or the people going to Disney or to Mexico with their unvaccinated kids. Or just the assholes who are still having indoor parties or eating inside or that gym teacher who doesn’t want to get vaccinated. Everyone other than the elementary kids had an opportunity to be vaccinated at this point— the ones who didn’t are the selfish ones.[/quote] I get your point but they won’t be excluded for 14 days, students can return after 8 days with negative covid test on days 5-7 (not sure if you need one each day or that’s just the window they look from)[/quote] Not true. If you live with a positive case, your last contact is either 14 days after they test positive or 10 days from when their symptoms improve. If they are asymptomatic, it’s all 14 days. Your quarantine would start after their last day. So the earliest you can send a sibling back is 22 days after their sibling tests positive (with a negative test). If you have more than two kids, and the second one tests positive on day 19 (5 days after your last contact), the third is out two weeks + 8 days minimum, anc the first one gets kicked back into quarantine. [/quote] That’s not what the APS FAQ says “ Students with confirmed cases and close contacts must quarantine for 7 days, with a negative test on day 5-7 through ResourcePath, return on day 8. Fully vaccinated individuals are exempt from quarantine, as verified by School Health or Human Resources (employee).”[/quote] So your confirmed kid may or may not test negative on days 5-7 and may be home much later. I’m very confused by the different scenarios. I need a chart, examples etc. [/quote]
