[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Here’s my qualm though. Everything I’m reading is that especially if kids are vaccinated, Omicron is beyond mild for kids. It’s a cold. Yes, case counts are up as are kids in hospitals with Covid but as Faucci said I think on MSNBC the majority of those are kids who happen to test positive not that they’re in the hospital with Covid. Are we really going to freak out because of a cold? [/quote]

It's not beyond mild. People who have it and are symptomatic (not everyone, but some) need to sleep for a couple of days and recover. That's never happened to me with a "mild cold". Sure it's not as bad sounding as previous variants, but please don't claim that it's a mild cold for the symptomatic. I's rather schools closed for a week or moved to virtual...even if you feel sick for "2 days", if you are a teacher or a student and it passes around your whole family that is a lot of wear and tear. Who will be manning the ship?[/quote]

Plus scientists are not yet sure about whether omicron will result in much long term COVID - many people with Delta variant reported mild initial symptoms and then had serious long term symptoms later (chronic fatigue and cognitive fog).

It is really hopeful that omicron appears more mild but thank god our school leaders are being cautious since we don’t know the long term patterns yet. [/quote]

it is also sounds way more contagious than a common cold--one person in a classroom can equal a lot of people knocked off their feet for a couple days. We KNOW persons with Omnicron and/or Delta will be in classrooms if school starts this week. it's just a fact. Many will slip through the net of "pre-testing" because it wasn't quite full-blown yet and then Omnicron will tear through school settings resulting in lots of folks spending the start to the spring school year symptomatic or asyptomatic, AND in quarantine. I don't see how that's better than waiting it out a week or two.[/quote]
