[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]By far the biggest risk factor to a child is living with an unvaccinated adult. Schools should focus resources on testing students that live with unvaccinated people rather than putting in place extensive travel bans and masking vaccinated teenagers. I’m sick of coddling adults who won’t get vaccinated. [/quote]

I don’t disagree but you have to be realistic. Unvaxxed people are the last ones who will allow identification and testing of their children in these circumstances. Vaxxed people would bring it on.

So, given the actual situation on the ground, what can the schools do?[/quote]

I'm fine with masking.  Open windows where you can.  I think that's kind of all you can do (given the realm of possible) that would actually be effective at mitigating spread.  Who knows if random asymptomatic testing does more harm than good, or if it is even useful in the context of low spread.

I hope that DC will decide on a mandate to vaccinate teachers/staff (like NYC).[/quote]

NYC is not currently requiring vaccination in teachers.[/quote]
