GRAND OPENING - GRAND CLOSING (Florida)

AND ... if you became sick you were isolated away from your family so there was little chance you could spread it.
Oh it goes far deeper than that. There was a time when Chinese officials knocked on people’s doors and took temperatures. If you had a fever you were taken away and never heard from again. They also removed Tylenol from pharmacies so people couldn’t hide their fever.
And no, I don’t have a link. This info is from someone we personally know who got stuck in Wuhan during the worst of it and was scared for their life.
 
A classroom. My daughter’s school re-opening plan is to wipe the desks down at night. That’s it. No masks, no distancing. She has an average of 35 kids to a class and long tables, no individual desks. There will be 6 classes a day in her room. That’s over 200 kids a day sitting at those tables with no sanitizing. It’s insanity.

Oh and they won’t ban teachers from wearing masks. That’s generous of them.
That is a pathetic excuse for a plan..

Kids aren't the spreaders according to pediatricians. I'm very surprised they aren't practicing basic hygiene. DGDs school doesn't require masks for students but encourage a lot of hand washing .

If schools open up, kids catch it, and then spread it to their parents and grandparents, then we'll know for sure. Who wants to be tribute to science?

But that doesn't seem to be the norm. At least that's what the pediatricians are reporting.
 
Now I find out my great nephew has been exposed. We were around him a day later. My cousin who is an MD says there is a lag time of 24-48 hours before an infected person can spread it, and we don’t know yet if he’s positive. It’s crazy how easily this could get out of hand.
 
Our pediatrician says there is very little illness in general right now since kids are staying home. Once they are together I feel like it’s going to spread quickly and I think they do, too. Whomever opens first will be the guinea pigs, ugh. The AAP even walked back their stance a little a few days ago when it was being taken the wrong way. I don’t think anyone disagrees about the benefits of kids returning to school...but it has to be safe and I feel like when schools open we are going to learn even more about this disease...

The pediatricians are saying it is less likely that kids will get it and spread it than adults. And the younger the child the less likely it is. However, Less likely does not mean the likelihood is zero. Further, heretofore, the kids haven't been in school. And we all know they catch and spread things less when they are out of school. We don't know yet whether things will hold when they go back. But if it's like anything else, it doesn't. Further, pediatricians say social distancing needs to be maintained when they go back to school. And there are many schools that simply don't have the means to do that.

I don't know anyone who contracted the virus after exposure from someone who didn't have symptoms. Basically the scenario you are facing....exposure to someone who was exposed. Not saying it isn't possible but what we have experienced.

That’s just absolutely false. Nevermind that my daughter teaches seniors so I’m not talking about young children. But, since children seem to suffer from fewer symptoms, they are much more likely to be super spreaders. Just because you haven’t personally seen it really means nothing. Experts tell us that they believe a great many cases are spread by asymptomatic people.

If you’ve ever worked in a school, especially with older kids, you know that
“encouraging” washing hands really isn’t a thing that will work. You can’t be in the bathrooms monitoring their handwashing and being in a community made up of a great many parents who still believe it’s a hoax makes it even more difficult.

Plus many daycares have been open this while time and many are operating mostly normal with some extra cleaning. And we have had many in my area have elementary kids in throughout this while thing who had parents working and nothing has come out of ours .

Exactly this. Absolutely not 1 dime in funding has been allocated to support schools in trying to start school up safely. There are only so many rooms, so many desks and so many teachers and staff. Budgets here have been being slashed for years and I’m sure we aren’t the only state where this has happened. They’re lucky just to be able to operate under normal conditions. Stringent safety standards cost money.

Daycares do not carry the load of students that a public school building does. They don’t put 35 or more in a relatively small room, sitting kids within arms reach of each other for hours on end all day long with 1 adult supervising them. They don’t feed them in cafeterias that hold hundreds of kids at a time, staffed by dozens of people, feeding them in an open cafeteria style buffet.

Daycare and public schools are apples and oranges.

You're very fortunate. My sister's family from small town NC took their annual trip to Myrtle Beach to stay in a beach house, even though I begged her not to go. One of her kids invited another family to share the house with them. After returning home, the other family's 2 year old tested positive. A few days later, my sister started showing symptoms & eventually tested positive. She's severely immunosuppressed & is in a fight for her life. I'm terrified that we may lose her. The fact that you don't know anyone doesn't mean it's not happening all over the country.

They have to come up with new ways to seat them, new ways to feed them, new ways to bus them, and new ways to move them in and out. It can be done, but getting it done in 3 months is a tall order. And unfortunately the kids most vulnerable, those in high school, are usually going to bigger schools with more kids. We have to completely 180 the way schools do business. All in 3 months. That's a very tough ask.

This is how it went in my Province. https://www.cbc.ca/kidsnews/post/44...nfirmed-cases-of-covid-since-schools-reopened

Reposting this for you since you apparently didn't see it when I posted it a few days ago.

One family gathering of 24 people in NC ended up infecting 14 family members.

From there, Covid so far has spread to at least 41 different people, in 9 different families, and 8 different workplaces, all in 16 days. It's likely increased since then.

Also, one of the infected was a child, who then infected two grandparents and another elderly neighbor of a grandparent.
