Why does everyone assume a masked kid who is infected will infect other kids or teachers who are also masked and presumably, socially-distanced? This is far from a given.

Are you kidding me? That’s a shit-ton.


On what planet is 0.08% a shit ton of anything?


On a planet where the R-number exceeds 1. Put that many positive kids in a school building and it will. Quickly.


+1 Five months in and people still don't understand exponential spread. This whole situation has convinced me that we are truly the stupidest country on Earth. All those cuts to education coming home to roost.

Yep...but likely they'd infect others before being diagnosed.


Eh, not likely if everyone is masked.

And your statistics from above say nothing about the adults those four kids might infect. Guess kids are in school by themselves.



Teachers don’t count in this situation. Nobody cares if we get sick. We should just show up and shut up.

For D.C., where the overall numbers aren’t as bad as parts of the South, the estimates are about 4 kids per 1,000 will be carrying the virus.

Interesting article about this new study. You can search any county and alter the school size with their calculator.


That’d be 6 at Deal and 8 at Wilson on any given day.


How many of each of those groups get infected if they are doing whatever they’ll do if not in school?

Assuming of course kids were physically back in school.
