This is the thread for everyone who wanted to go covid zero from the beginning when it was possible. But then the people who love Number and Panera bread bowls said it wasn't possible and then ensured that their declaration came true. It's really quite maddening.

that's easy, you just don't test anyone for it and if anyone gets hospitalized for some mysterious severe respiratory infection you just disenroll / fire them.

Highly possible no one tests or reports their positive kids. Social pressure to do that was already high last year

Even if they end up in the hospital I doubt the hospital reports to the school

Even more fun is the school could just not write down reports and not care

if she could, I'd let her tbqh, I just spent 2 mins trying to explain to her what "an aesthetic" is and when I was done she looked at me like I was dumb and said "mom already told me about that, the night there was a bat in the room". The second thing happened so I have no idea if she's full of poo poo or not.

I'm worried that in a decade my kid is gonna ask me about cops or socialism or something and a day later I'm gonna get a phone call from the school because she repeated what I told her.

Ours is voluntary but opt out with paperwork which most people won't bother doing

Also this was the highest number of cases on a Tuesday in like 7 months and a good chance friday will be the highest single day since biden was sworn in

edit from worldometers the only source i trust
1/20: 4822
1/21: 4979
1/22: 7042 (this was a friday, typically highest for the week)

About 60 children are being admitted per day to Florida hospitals for COVID-19, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, up from about five per day throughout much of the pandemic — even previous surges.

Overall, about 230 children are currently hospitalized in the state with COVID-19, compared to 20 in late June when the disease appeared to be waning, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. More than 15,000 patients of all ages are currently hospitalized in Florida, up from about 1,800 in June.

https://abc7.com/lausd-covid-19-outbreaks-children-students/10986939/

quote:

On Friday, Ferrer cited case statistics involving schools, calling the results "somewhat sobering."

She said that during the week of Aug. 16-22, 3,186 new cases were confirmed in schools, with the highest percentage involving LAUSD campuses, where weekly testing is required.

In about half the amount of time, we have already exceeded the prior two weeks of school related new cases.

people are going to get really, really pissed about mandatory testing when they realize the schools that mandate tests end up closing/quarantining nonstop, and the schools that don't are able to happily remain open while kids go to school with the sniffles and then 1 kid per elementary school dies at random , nothing could be done

I remember early on there was a mask discussion about KN95s and some linked YouTube said they were good to reuse assuming you let them dry over a few days. the recommendation was to keep up a rotation of masks. which I have been doing with the KN95s
