[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP and ask if your school has hired a Covid case manager. [b]You may be shocked to learn that your school does not have anyone in charge of monitoring cases[/b]. Also ask if the school has a Care Room to semi isolate students who are sick with Covid symptoms. Again, some schools send sick students to a back hallway or to the front office or some multiple sick students like 5-6 to all sit together in a small room.

It’s a shit show out there [/quote]

Are you telling me FCPS is spending precious school dollars paying for "covid case managers" at individual schools? That's insane. What purpose do they serve at this point? [/quote]

Our school hired a part-time covid case manager to handle the increased number of students who are out with covid.  Previously the principal was doing it - with the addition of the case manager, the principal could focus on her job instead of handling the covid students too.[/quote]

What's there to "handle"?

All the money spent on these case managers could have been used for tutoring, something actually beneficial to students.[/quote]

They had been streaming the classes for kids who were out but that went away when they changed the policy to 5 days out and not 10.

I have noted a large up tick at our ES. At the beginning of the year we had 0 reported cases. During Omicron we had one class that was out because of an outbreak and a few more cases outside of that. The latest variant has seen an email every day with multiple cases reported each day.

I'll be worried when I see news reports and FB posts from local Doctors indicating an increase in hospitalizations of vaccinated folks. DS wears his mask at school and we are have been limiting indoor excursions. Admittedly, this isn't hard because we are not hugely into eating out or going to the movies and DS activities have moved outdoors because it is spring and the weather allows it.

COVID is going to be endemic. The variants continue to become less severe as it mutates, which I believe is what the science told us would happen. There is a possibility that a nasty strain will pop up again, just like we occasionally get a nastier strain of the flu. I am going to trust the vaccine and my booster and keep in keeping on. We have done as much as we can to decrease the risk of a bad outcome for ourselves and society. DS is going to school, soccer, and his activities. We are going to work and traveling for vacations.
