[quote=Anonymous]I would like to have in person school when the rate of spread is as low as it is in the Eropean countries that have reopened school. So less than 20 new cases per million per day in the county or state, as an average of the past 7 or 14 days. It isn't enough to have 14 days of declining new cases, if that rate is super high (like 130 new cases per million per day.) It needs to be down below 20 new cases per million per day. And the positivity rate for testing needs to be below 2% again expressed as an average of the past 7 days. That's an indication we are doing enough testing. If those conditions are met, I'd like to see schools reopened. That's a low enough rate that you shouldn't have a lot of cases coming to school and if you have one or two students or teachers test positive, that school can be closed for 14 days. Everyone at that school do distance learning while they are quarantined so no worried about taking sick leave or losing pay. That school closes, but all the other schools can remain open. If there is another positive case in the same town, all the schools in that town should be closed for 14 days. If there's a bigger outbreak in town, like 50-100 new cases, that one town needs to be on a pretty serious lockdown for 14 days (only leaving for groceries or essential medical care, or to check on the elderly etc). You can do stuff like that if you have a lot of spread but you CAN do it if you have just 20 new cases per million per day.[/quote]
