[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We don’t have the vaccination numbers to let it blow through schools. Some children will die. What we should be doing is identifying the problem spots (indoor lunch) and figuring out how to mitigate them. [/quote] It's actually statistically unlikely that some children in D.C. will die if it blows through schools -- as of last week, 706 children had died of covid in the entire United States, and only .01% of children's covid cases were fatal. https://downloads.aap.org/AAP/PDF/AAP%20and%20CHA%20-%20Children%20and%20COVID-19%20State%20Data%20Report%2012.16%20FINAL.pdf It's especially unlikely that children will die as a result of keeping school open for the three days before a two-week winter break. I don't say that to minimize the tragedy involved in any of those deaths, but ... the risk to kids from these three days of school really is pretty low.[/quote]
