I'm an elementary teacher home sick with something -- 20% of the teachers at my school are out today and who knows how many of the kids.
There are a lot of different bugs circulating apparently.


Yeah, lots of different bugs.

And totally anecdotally, but the kids that are testing + for Covid seem to be better in about 48 hours. The kids with this other mystery bug (testing neg for Covid) are getting hit pretty hard

COVID was rough for my ERHS student. No way he could have gone to school while sick. Missed 5 days of school and said some classmates missed more. He really should have stayed home for a few more days after testing negative because of lingering fatigue and cough but was worried about falling behind. Teachers excused the kids from all in-class work they missed which was helpful.

Ballpark 47 reported cases from 10/11/22 - 10/25/22 (the last two weeks reported)

I went to this site: https://www.pgcps.org/coronavirus/resources/covid-19-cases
and did a search for "Eleanor Roosevelt". The search feature says that the first entry from 10/11 was #47 of the 76 listed entries (the other 29 entries are dated 7/12/22 - 10/10/22).

No idea how many, but mine said the same. Band concert has been postponed a couple of weeks to avoid possible spreading- email said "due to our increase in Covid infections after homecoming...". This only says 4 cases: https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/pages/school-resources

Anyone know how many kids are out sick? My child said it seems like a lot.
