[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We signed my fully vaccinated kid up for the new testing protocol as soon as we heard about it. Wishing you the best, OP![/quote]

Way for your vaccinated kid to be kept out of school for an asymptomatic virus (i.e., not sick)!  And possibly locking other kids out of school.  Clown.[/quote]

In APS fully vaccinated kids who are close contacts don’t have to quarantine unless they develop symptoms. Unless you are also choosing not to vaccinate your kids, this doesn’t impact you. If you are choosing not to vaccinate, then it’s not my fault if they have to stay home. We are having our vaccinated child tested weekly.

“If you don’t look, you won’t find it” is the dumbest argument I have ever heard. Not testing is asking for it to spread further and impact more classrooms and families. The whole point of testing is to catch cases and exclude those kids.

If your kid is positive but doesn’t have symptoms that does not make them “healthy”. It makes you a selfish jerk who doesn’t care about other, more vulnerable kids and community members. [/quote]

Are OP's kids not vaccinated? That is messed up.

Only 20% of 5 to 11 year olds are getting vaccinated, and vaccinations in that age group has pretty much leveled off (the COVID paranoid ran out the first day Dear Sally was eligible).  So getting your 5 to 11 year old vaccinated is actually pretty strange.[/quote]

It's actually pretty strange to profess certainty but not know such a commonly known and easily checked point.  But I'm glad you're the kind of person that "does your research" and shares it with the rest of us.   [/quote]

I was wrong - it's actually 16.7% of 5 to 11 year olds have gotten at least 1 dose (1 out of 6).

And further showing the COVID paranoid ran to get their no-risk 5 to 11 year olds vaccinated ASAP: "The rate of vaccination among 5-11 year-olds has slowed considerably, a drop that preceded the Thanksgiving holiday and has continued since."[/quote]

This is a thread about Arlington. Arlington's numbers are easy to find here:

Again, over 50% of Arlington 5-11 has had at least one dose. [/quote]
