They just announced closure of our schools for the fall. Online only

Where have you seen this data? Israel is currently blaming their new spikes on schools reopening (though I have not seen it "proven" other than just numbers). They're at about 1500 new cases a day over the past week, which is a lot for a population of under 9 Million.ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 24, 2020 3:49 pm Weird since the data is suggesting a really low chance of transmission between children.
Ambitious teachers should quit and open a 15 student home-school service. $200/kid/week for 9 months. Gross 108k.
That study is a big part of why I had no qualms signing my son up for hockey this fall already, but it's extremely important to not gloss over "provided they follow appropriate social distancing guidelines and take into account rates of transmission in their community."ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 11:12 am https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 100934.htm
Do we really even need to care about positive cases in children if 25% show mo symptoms and the rest show mild cold like symptoms? That church camp you reference had 200+ infections but didn’t mention a single hospitalization. Did it? Why are we worried? We should be vigilant but Jesus, it seems like everyone has lost all sense of reality.Asmodeanreborn wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 11:19 amThat study is a big part of why I had no qualms signing my son up for hockey this fall already, but it's extremely important to not gloss over "provided they follow appropriate social distancing guidelines and take into account rates of transmission in their community."ragtimejoe1 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 25, 2020 11:12 am https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 100934.htm
In other words, while this study suggests children aren't likely to transmit the disease, it still says they get it from interaction with adults. Which is likely also what happened at that church camp in Texas.
Our school district is looking to go to a hybrid model. The kids REALLY need social interaction, and tons of parents simply can't stay at home with the kids without going bankrupt. I hope they figure that whole problem out so those parents can leave their kids in school full time. My son's fine schooling from home, but he really wants to hang out with his classmates.
Because, last time I checked, most kids don't live alone. Not saying we need to throw them in a bubble, but they are the perfect vector to spread a contagion.laxwyo wrote: ↑Wed Aug 05, 2020 9:28 pmDo we really even need to care about positive cases in children if 25% show mo symptoms and the rest show mild cold like symptoms?

All the info points to them being poop vectors. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 100934.htmWestWYOPoke wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 10:48 amBecause, last time I checked, most kids don't live alone.

It looks like you didn't actually read what your link found out. From one of the very studies they looked at:laxwyo wrote: ↑Tue Aug 11, 2020 6:38 am All the info points to them being sh#t[#] vectors. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2 ... 100934.htm
This is consistent with most data that’s been out there.
The other question is even if they are, most school age children have parents that aren’t in the age group most at risk. Of course you’d take precautions if grandparents are raising child or hate underlying conditions. But to shut down school for these circumstances is totally dumb.
