+100. Between the pumpkin mom and the Covid notifications person, you have this relatively very tiny cohort of overly anxious sensationalizing panickers who are completely unhinged from reality and seem to obtain some odd gratification in their self-induced and baseless panic.

This. The Covid notifications person is particularly depressing to me because they clearly thought they'd be posting 100s of cases as school started and be heralded as some kind of whistleblower for this great public health disaster. Instead there have been a few dozen cases, overwhelmingly among adult faculty and staff, and people have tested and quarantined appropriately. Zero evidence of Covid spread in any schools. Kids are wearing their masks. Most schools are finding ways to do lunch outside or in small cohorts. We're only a week and a half in so I'm not declaring victory over anything, but it's gone better than I expected and as a parent who was pretty stressed about it, I have started to feel myself having a bit more faith that this is going to work, at least in the immediate term.

I can't imagine looking at the current situation and thinking it's some great disaster. These people have been predicting widespread Covid through the whole system and multiple child deaths. I've seen them say it, multiple times! I just don't know how anyone can take them seriously at this point.

Just curious, where do you find this information? All of the notifications and reports I've seen don't identify whether the case is a student or staff. Thanks.

That's probably by design.
You have to compare this and this yourself.

I tried to look at a school in a certain time period, using the date toggles, and none of the reported case number changed. How does one see recent cases for THIS school year?

You can let the notifications roll in on social media:

I have the same question. DCPS is reporting cases; what else does OP want to know?

How many separate threads on the same subject do we need? It seems like you just want to scare people out of going to school. Also, the health department reports cases here:

Dcps has a website that resports cases

I no longer believe they are necessarily overly anxious as their defining motivation/attribute. I think they are people so used to winning they are just ill at the thought of things not going their way. And they will scream and yell and tweet and post trying to grab some control in a situation we all have to agree left us feeling pretty helpless.

Yeah. This. I’m sure any “data” you collect will be super reliable

Genuine question...what is the difference between the data/info you are seeking and the information available at : https://coronavirus.dc.gov/data/schools?

What will this unreliable self reported data get you? What's your end goal?

Since DCPS is not reporting district-wide cases, I thought we could gather some data with crowdsourcing.
