[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Janney's action in sending an entire cohort home is inconsistent with CDC guidelines for what type of "close contact" requires quarantine:

Exception: In the K–12 indoor classroom setting, the close contact definition excludes students who were within 3 to 6 feet of an infected student (laboratory-confirmed or a clinically compatible illness) where
- both students were engaged in consistent and correct use of well-fitting masks; and
- other K–12 school prevention strategies (such as universal and correct mask use, physical distancing, increased ventilation) were in place in the K–12 school setting.

Your meds are too high if you believe that elementary classrooms ever meet these conditions. 
"consistent and correct use of well-fitting masks" would require well-fitting masks, and I'm pretty sure 1 in 12 students tops is wearing that.
And when half the classroom takes a 10 minute mask break mid-morning for snacks, you've lost your universal and consistent mask use for the day. We may have gotten away with that with the original covid, but delta is not that forgiving.[/quote]
