The COVID Pandemic and Schools Reopening (Page 2/5) Lambo nut FEB 05, 02:04 PM School is bussiness as usual in our district. We get an email report when there is a positive case and life goes on. williegoat FEB 05, 02:13 PM quote Originally posted by Lambo nut: We get an email report when there is a positive case and life goes on. How often does that happen? How big is the group covered? In other words, how many students, teachers, staff are in the pool from which you might receive a report?

In other words, how many students, teachers, staff are in the pool from which you might receive a report? Sometimes twice in one week. Sometimes once every two weeks of more. Has varied widely. Approx 1200 students including K thru 12th grades plus the required staff and faculty. williegoat FEB 05, 02:40 PM quote Originally posted by Lambo nut: Sometimes twice in one week.

So, if my math is right, that would work out to about 4% positive per year. (assuming average student:teacher ratio which seems to be about 16:1 plus a few for misc. staff) Do they tell you which category (student, teacher, other) the positive case is in?

Now that you mention it, I only remember it being students reported, with no details of course. There were times when "close contacts" were sent home for 14 days but no reports of spreading to those quarantined. maryjane FEB 05, 08:29 PM quote Same teachers who refuse to teach kids are the same people who don't put grocery carts back in the parking lot corrals. Could you please post the data or a link to the data that indicates these teachers that "refuse to teach" also refuse to put carts in the cart corrals? blackrams FEB 05, 09:08 PM quote Originally posted by maryjane: Could you please post the data or a link to the data that indicates these teachers that "refuse to teach" also refuse to put carts in the cart corrals? Would pictures do? Can't prove they are teachers but, there's significant evidence they (some) don't put carts back in the cart corrals.

Hudini FEB 06, 06:54 AM quote Originally posted by maryjane: I'm not in favor of FORCING anyone to place their lives or the lives of their own family in danger. I signed on and rode for the brand and I live with what that 50 yr old endeavor caused but doesn't mean it should be mandatory for everyone. Dead teachers won't educate a single student and dead parents won't raise a single offspring. I wonder if they think this way during flu season since the death rate is higher?
