In school year 2020-2021 kids were more likely to get COVID when not in school. School is a controlled environment with mitigations. If cases are rising that’s an argument to get kids in school.[/quote]

Not when we're talking about a variant of COVID that's 100% more contagious than the strain faced by people during the 2020-21 school year.[/quote]

Well, too bad they used up all their shutdown capital last school year. They're not going to keep kids out of the school building for 2.5 years. I mean from two weeks to flatten the curve...to over two years? I mean not even the craziest school board member is that crazy.[/quote]

When widespread infections inevitably occur because of Delta they will have no choice.[/quote]

Delta infections are down 70% in the UK over the last three weeks, 75% in the Netherlands, and 95% in India. Cases have started to turn over in Missouri and slowed in other southern states.

This isn't a long term sustained wave. I know there are a few people who are upset by this since they turned freaking out about COVID a major part of their personality but this is all going to be much to do about nothing in a few weeks.[/quote]

Woe is me when that crowd loses the "Delta is different; nothing will ever be the same again" talking point. I suppose it'll be time to back a new horse like Lambda.[/quote]

Do you actually read anything, or just sit around making empty sarcastic comments?[/quote]

Let me guess, you only read the COVID panic stuff. How many times a day to you check Eric Liang Feigl-Ding twitter? (FYI, he sent his kids to school in person in Austria last year).

- Moderate rise starting mid July

Fairfax's Vax rate is similar to the the more populist counties in the Netherlands, combine that with a higher rate of people with prior infections (both known and unknown) and there isn't a lot of room for this to take off in NOVA. Cases will spike in the next two weeks then start to drop like a rock.

The schools that opened this week down south have a much tougher hand delt to them then us who don't start school until late August.

Stay calm and carry on (to in person school, five days a week with teachers present).
