[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who is deciding whether good masking protocols were followed well enough that no quarantine is warranted for unvaxxed kids? I doubt any school/teacher is going to say they’ve been lax about masking, but some will be. And then there’s lunchtime… [/quote]

I'm a teacher with a baby at home and I'm pretty worried about this. My school is masks required but not enforced. In the spring there were multiple kids who would flat out just not wear a mask and would roam the room and halls (which is totally normal for my school). If there's a class of 20 kids and 3 of them don't wear masks, if there's a positive case, will they tell us which kid it is to confirm whether he/she wore a mask?  Probably not. I bet they will just assume all kids wore masks all the time.[/quote]
Technically, whether it's one of the under-masked kids who tested positive or not won't matter. In your classroom, over two weeks, the 3 kids who don't wear their masks will serve as the amplification system for the infected person's exhaled virus. One or more of them will catch it and then the next week they will broadcast it to the other kids, in the classroom and those who walk the halls in the hour following the unmasked infected kids. This thing is contagious. It isn't last year's virus.[/quote]

Your understanding of this is a little mangled.[/quote]
