[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm furious about the rules for 12-15 year olds.  They can't be boosted and most are at 6+ months now.  Their immune response was so much higher than adults, they may not even need a booster.  They are going to miss so much school b/c the juniors and seniors in HS are the only ones booster eligible.  On top of that, they are canceling sports (the one place that requires daily testing). [b] My 14 yo could be quarantined for a week with no covid, go back to school and get exposed again and miss another week[/b].  This is ridiculous.  We need test to stay.  [/quote]

This is what us parents of under 12s have been living with this whole school year. I agree it’s all ridiculous. We should never have been quarantining healthy kids to begin with especially since spread can occur before anyone in class even shows symptoms (plus in-class spread has proven minimal, most cases are coming from outside school exposure). Time to treat this like a normal cold — 24 hours fever free. No wringing hands over “close contacts.” If you’re health, you stay.[/quote]
