[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Schools are just a reflection of what is going on in the greater society. If schools were closed, there is a good chance those numbers would be the same or higher. You might just not know because they wouldn't be getting tested. [/quote]

This.  I think people have to recognize that closing schools isn’t going to do anything for overall spread.[/quote]

Yes very true BUT teachers/staff aren't allowed to stay in school if they test positive even if they are without symptoms. I work in a school building and there are more and more reports of fully vaccinated/boosted staff testing positive. Most have no symptoms but they still can't come to school and that is making it hard for schools to operate.[/quote]

Schools were/are the main vector for infection in my family.  It may not make a big difference to overall numbers but it's a big difference to my family.[/quote]

A very important point - some families have been very strict outside of school to minimize risks. Bur for most schools, heavy infections/positives were identified post breaks suggesting that family gatherings and times out of school were more of the cause. BUT that was pre-Omicron and Omicron may make a big difference to all families.[/quote]
