[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes.  It will lessen the spread of the virus.  We don’t need preschool or daycare childcare.  We aren’t sending DD. [/quote]

Proof that it will lessen the spread? [/quote]

Not PP but don't you see how having fewer people together would lessen the spread of the virus? Or do you think schools are magical places where the virus doesn't dare enter?[/quote]

Preschools have not been the source of any outbreaks outside of places that aren’t taking it seriously— Texas. So I think they can absolutely be open safely, if done so carefully.[/quote]

How is this actually known if were not doing contact tracing? What if asymptomatic kids in school are spreading it but the source of the spread isn’t identified since the kids themselves don’t get sick/tested? [/quote]

We are doing contact tracing, at least in MD. Have you really not been paying attention? If an asymptomatic kid infected a teacher, the school is required to notify the parents that a teacher has it, so we would know that there is a case, even if we’re not positive it came from a kid.[/quote]

What if a kid spreads it to their parent, grandparent, neighbor, etc who then spreads it to others? I understand that if a teacher or student is sick and gets tested, then the school will notify everyone. But what if kid gives it to parent who is also asymptomatic and then spreads it to a stranger at the grocery store? How would anyone know the source?[/quote]
