[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the people with COVID who were sick enough to be hospitalized didn't even have a fever. Temp checks are security theatre, nothing more.

I can't imagine schools are going to be able to exclude for a runny nose and any sort of cough. It's just unworkable. [/quote]

I don't disagree, but if you look at the reopening guidance, it always contemplates a negative test for those sick with COVID or a 14 day quarrantine for anyone exposed.  Look at how complicated this is:

I want kids to return to school. [b]I'm just not sure it is workable.[/b] And I'm not just talking about kids, but teachers and staff too. As an older, seasoned parent, I can attest that if an educational environment is not consistent, little learning takes place. If the environment is chaos, with kids being excluded from school for sickness and those attending dealing with a constant stream of substitutes due to sickness or isolation because of exposure, I wonder whether the risk is worth it.  It isn't a choice between opening schools as usual or keeping them closed and doing distance learning. The choice is between opening in a safe manner, with contingencies built in for possible COVID related complications, and distance learning. If the former is going to be a messy inefficient waste of time that carries great risk, particularly to the adults, I'm against it. [/quote]

I am sure that keeping schools closed is not workable.

I am sure that continued "distance learning" is not workable.[/quote]
