[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Listen, there studies that say they are Nd studies that say they aren’t. Kids aren’t tested as much and parents underreport to school. There is no consistency among attendance whether hybrid, DL or full time around the country. It is honestly not clear yet what the true extent is od Miss and school vis a vis the pandemic because they all operate differently in areas with different spread and involve an under tested demographic. At mosh kids have been in school since august. That’s simply not enough time with data this varied to know. We can all find studies that support what we want to think is true on this topic. It really isn’t definitive. [/quote]

August-December is definitely enough time to know that all of the horrible doomsday predictions for schools did NOT occur.[/quote]

So, your rhetoric is unnecessary. There’s a lot of latitude been all good and doomsday. Again, it’s impossible to say. So many were all DL or only had hybrid. The few districts that have had 5 days are in areas of such massive spread that it’s impossible to separate our community spread from the schools that... serve the communities with massive spread. We know cautious areas had less spread which was the goal. It reminds me of when a kid does well on an IEP so the school starts talking about removing the IEP... they did well BECAUSE they had it!

I’m not proposing 5 day school. Just K-12 hybrid as long as VA is in phase 3. Northam has been conservative on metrics. Let him roll us back if need be. [/quote]

What Northam does for the economy isn’t intended to be a message about what’s best for schools. That’s EXACTLY why he left this in individual district hands. Phase 3 in VA is due to the economy, not human well being. [/quote]

Yes our hospitalizations are on par with the spring peak and our new case daily numbers are about twice as high as the spring peak, but we stay in phase 3 because Northam doesn't want a shut down again due to the economic impacts. Hopefully he'll consider addressing this before we get to the point [b]some states have hit of needing to triage care, build field hospitals, and send patients to other states[/b]. [/quote]
