[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think some of you will be surprised when large chunks of students are out with Covid during September.  That won’t be normal school exactly.

I think at this point it us inevitable that most kids will get Covid, and for most it will be mild.  But if it happens in a big wave, I think it willbe more dramatic than some people are prepared for.[/quote]

Thank you.  I thought I was the only person thinking this.[/quote]

I actually don't know if this is true.  I have been of the mind that "when my kid gets covid it will be mild" but I'm not sure any more.  Data from UK and their surge don't suggest all kids got it, or even a majority.  That recent report from LA schools suggests the spread was low for summer school in these past few months (when delta is rising).  Do we have any experiences with other countries or other areas of the country to suggest that (with a medium-vaccinated populace and mask mandates and general populace that is not belligerently anti-covid-mitigation) that we are going to see the wild-fire spread that people on this board are saying will happen?[/quote]

Clarification:  I think if my kid gets covid it will probably be mild.  It's the "when" aspect I'm not sure about.[/quote]

Different people have different susceptibilities, just like for any other virus. There is data suggesting those with O + blood are less likely to get COVID. There has also been some suggestion that those who received MMR shots recently may have greater protection against getting it. Then, like any other virus, if you have a stronger immune system, you are more likely to avoid getting it even if exposed than if you have a weak one. The only thing I can see as rationally being able to make a difference between young healthy adults and young children is the MMR angle...[/quote]
