[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just thought it would be good to update on this somewhat fear mongering post. My kids are at UVA and everyone is sick, and kids have by and large been good about going to the doc to get tested. They are by and large coming negative which is supported by their now 1.18% positivity rate which is QUITE low I think we can all agree. After an initial spike around week 2-3 of school, it seems to have fallen off quite a bit, as was predicted.

My DD has been sick for three weeks, and now is diagnosed with a sinus infection. Ugh, it would sure be nice to be healthy at school but at least it's not Covid![/quote]

Thanks PP. I hope your DD is better soon. We had a similar experience with sickness this summer, with my kids and almost every teen we know getting cold-like symptoms. All were tested for COVID, some more than once, and every single one was negative. The most common positive was strep, which our doctor said she was seeing in unprecedented numbers for the summer.

None of us really knows what happens next with the pandemic, but at least there are signs that the virus is not spreading uncontrollably in highly vaccinated communities.[/quote]
