[quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a dcps elementary teacher I think we’re all just going to have to keep our wits about us and be reasonable. Do we all eat lunch together in the cafeteria? No. Do we play outdoors with maybe one other class ( know that it’s not reasonable to expect that students will maintain distance at recess)? Probably. Three other classes? Probably not. If there’s a reported case in a classroom should whole class quarantine for 10 days? No. Let’s test whole class daily and remain in school. We should not be worrying about students carrying the virus home to adults because they should be vaccinated ( barring medical reasons)! Breakthrough infections are rare. We must be sensible here.

A couple of things--

OSSE would need to mandate that 'reasonableness' based on science, best practice whatever.

Also, it is beginning to sound like breakthrough infections of Delta are not that rare...just serious symptoms. [b]Unfortunately, the viral load in someone with a breakthrough infection is the same as someone unvaccinated[/b]. [/quote]

This. So even if vaccinated, one would need to quarantine if exposed because you are just as potentially contagious as someone who is unvaccinated and exposed, right?[/quote]

This is untrue; read above.[/quote]

Someone, probably you, keeps reporting posts from this thread saying the information is false. I believe the bolded is based on a statement made by CDC Director Walensky yesterday that is reported in this AP article:

[quote]But with the delta variant, a mutated and more transmissible version of the virus, the level of virus in infected vaccinated people is “indistinguishable” from the level of virus in the noses and throats of unvaccinated people, Walensky said.[/quote]
