[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Actual articles about delta in kids, that might help cut through the delta hysteria:

Oh, great, yes, let's link to your personal blog of editorials and reassuring out-of-date BS. [/quote]

Out of date? Clearly you are just rejecting things out of hand. This was published less than one week ago. I am sure you didn't read it.

You have a habit of rejecting reality and substituting your own.[/quote]

There is zero chance that officials are going to let Delta run wild through schools with under 12 kids. There will be quarantines, so maybe we should prepare a virtual option to keep those children engaged while out? I have no idea why that is controversial. Even Mississippi is already doing it.

Mississippi has much lower vaccination rates and thus more adults at risk.[/quote]

Do you really think they are going to not quarantine if we have outbreak here?[/quote]

I think PPP is making up a strawman.  I don't know who said "DCPS is going to be ok with letting Delta run wild with under 12 kids" or anyone who suggested that we NOT prepare for quarantines.  Certainly nearly everyone is concerned that there haven't been any plans released yet about how schools will deal with those quarantines.[/quote]

There is clearly one person here who wants zero virtual learning at all costs. Even for quarantined kids. [/quote]

I mean, I certainly think there are ways to avoid virtual learning, but I'm not a person that thinks it should be avoided for everyone all the time -- that's where you strawman is, I think.  Like, a kid who actually tests positive should be quarantined until the test can be found to be a false positive or they recover.  I think there are certainly more cost-beneficial ways to use testing funds, and there are different ways of doing exposure quarantine (as evidenced by the UK strategy) that allow more kids to be in-person.[/quote]
