You’d be right, and it’s why numbers are escalating the way they are and why everything is shutting down by Christmas. Thanks a lot people.

No, no, no. You've got it wrong. If a parent tests positive, the ENTIRE family gets tested. They don't "just quarantine." If the kid then tests positive, the parent reports it to the school and the school numbers go up.

A lot of parents are not reporting because they don’t want numbers to go up. Or 3/5 family members are confirmed positive and the other two develop the same symptoms so it’s presumed positive but since they’re all sick and need to quarantine they treat without bothering to test.
And this is the smart way to proceed. No fu&k way in hellllllllll am I getting a test, nor is anyone in my family if we think we have covid. However I've gone 4xs to the free testing to help boost the negatives.
If we do think we are positive will wait a month and then get an antibody test.

Or they might follow pwcs’ example and continue sending them hack even though we are over 14%
That stinks like a lawsuit. Sending them to auschwitz and birkenau when avoidable is criminal
Are you seriously comparing going back to school (a choice) to the Holocaust? You are disgusting!
