In elementary? Yes, they are all over each other. I had three boys in a dog pile while waiting for busses last week. They have zero sense of personal space. This is what 5 days a week for everyone looks like. Without mandatory testing, this is the best we can hope for in terms of catching cases before we have full blown outbreaks.

A FIFTEEN-MINUTE dog pile?[/quote]

Common sense that kids are exposed sitting in a classroom for a 7-8 hour day. Come on use the big brain [/quote]

They get exposed, and we have an 86% vaccination rate. That’s how we will get to herd immunity. [/quote]

There is a 0% vaccination rate in Elementary school for students.  You may be ok with exposure and covid as you'll just send your sick kid to school but others are not.[/quote]

The teachers and staff are vaccinated. That’s how you protect those kids by vaccinating adults. If kids get exposed the consequence is minimal to the kids. Get a grip your kids will be exposed to all kinds of viruses. There is a major RSV outbreak currently, no vaccine against RSV. Children’s ICU is full with RSV infections. [/quote]

One vaccinated teacher in a classroom of 25-35 students is not particularly helpful.  Kids can get and spread covid.  Teachers can get and spread covid even vaccinated.  You can deny covid all you want but stop complaining about the absolute minimum in precautions.  [/quote]
