Turns out, not that big a deal![/quote]

This is a dumb article.

The increase in infections found through regular coronavirus screening corresponded with the rise of the Delta variant. The summer program began with a few cases detected among about 44,000 students and staffers who attended in-person classes and were tested weekly. The nation’s second-largest school district enrolls about 465,000 K-12 students during the regular academic year.

Summer school classes started June 21 or June 22 — depending on the grade level — and concluded July 23. During the first week, the district recorded 20 infections among students. During the final week, the district recorded 59 infections, with a total of 174 student cases over the five weeks. [/quote]

I fail to see how what you've quoted is 'dumb'.  What do you mean?

Certainly, 174/44,000 seems very, very low.  In the midst of delta, particularly.  0.04% of students contracted covid.  That's a lot lower than the dire warnings about 40% of students or all unvaccinated people getting delta.[/quote]
