I’m thinking the 9 year old was staying with grandparents and drop off and pick up by parents was socially distanced.

Agree this does not bode well for schools reopening.

If accurate, this actually shows that kids spread way less. Additionally, the important thing shown by the evidence so far is that asymptomatic kids don’t infect adults; that’s what could actually cause an outbreak at a school if they’re strict about excluding those with symptoms from school.

My son went to his first camp (a small group, 1/2 day outdoor tennis camp) last week, with our neighbor’s son. On day 2, our neighbor’s son got a fever. My son had spent a lot of the camp sitting with him while he sat there not feeling well. Nobody called the parents to say, hey this kid doesn’t feel good. So the kid was tested for covid on Wednesday, and the fever was gone by Friday. But who knows when the test results will come back. I’ve kept my son home since Tuesday. But how long am I supposed to do this? 2 weeks? Are we okay to go to work? I have no clue what we’re supposed to even do here. It just shows how crazy the school situation will be, if every time a kid gets a fever everyone around him/her could be a super-spreader but you don’t know for weeks.

Agreed.
Are you getting your son and yourself tested? You should, rather than wait for the boy's result to come in and then potentially wait 2 more weeks for yours.

I wish there was more info regarding the party, even if not social distancing or masks were people a mix of indoors and out or only outdoors. For the couple that did a beach trip, did they split a house with the other couples or only spend time together at the beach?

Honestly, they are all to blame. Not just the first positive. People can make their own decisions and they choose to go to this shindig.

This is why we're skipping our family reunions this year, and hunkering down for the foreseeable future. My husband's family just had its annual reunion at a rental house and three college-aged cousins decided to show up unannounced. With senior citizens in the house.

Madness.

That’s right! Like the freedom to drive without a seatbelt!

More like, the freedom to drive drunk!! Who cares if my carelessness ends up killing someone? At least I got to go out and have fun!
