[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So? It’s a huge school. These numbers actually sound pretty good to me [/quote]

Really? Then you are truly a Covid denier. 26 cases in 2 weeks at one school is not good.

This is far more than any other APS school. [/quote]

Omg enough with the Covid denier bs. If no one is debilitatingly sick, hospitalized or dead, then 26 cases are merely a blip on the radar. Cases are going to happen. Covid is here to stay. Deal with it and stop screaming that the sky is falling. [/quote]

You can't even engage in a discussion about cases at a school with screaming. That's really sad. We need to acknowledge reality and figure out how to deal with it. [/quote]

Reality is COVID is here to stay and kids are going to get it. Vaccinated kids will be asymptomatic or have mild to moderate symptoms--no more sick than other illnesses like strep, the flu or a cold. Unvaccinated kids might have poorer results but that's on their parents. The goal was never to eradicate COVID from schools. We haven't eradicated colds, the flu, strep, rsv..., so expecting no COVID cases in school is ridiculous. In any given two week period during flu and cold season there will be 26 sick kids from any given school. You need to learn that COVID is going to be added to the list of endemic illnesses and stop overreacting.[/quote]

No one is overreacting.  But it would be good to know why it is happening so diffidently compared to other schools.   [/quote]

How so? We’ve had schools with higher cases of flu that other schools haven’t. One year we had flu ripping through our ES that reduced a few classes down to 4 students. Another year norovirus did something similar (glad to have avoided that — neighbors were not so lucky!).

Study if you wish, but don’t be surprised if nothing highly unusual is going on.[/quote]
