Looks like they're going for herd immunity. Let's check back here in two weeks.

20th century formal education must end.

It's the main silver lining of covid. The bullshit education industry is screwing themselves hard.

I feel pretty strongly about this. Whoever comes up with a better plan will do well.

"Virtual school was full." That's fucktarded. Issue that family a property tax refund.

PS, the kids will almost certainly be just fine. Among the first dozen cases in Washington was a kid at Jackson High School, about that size. Mild illness, no cordwood, during a time of zero mitigation measures.

2 weeks. 18 days, 36 tops. How many deaths are you going for?

according to the second guy there's already 4 positives (at least): 2 staff 2 students.

The positivity rate in Georgia is approx. 13%, we don't have any data on what kind of spread can happen with schools open when community spread is this high. Because it's never been done before.

Stockholm sweden.

The only way community transmission wasn’t above 13% is that they refused to test anyone who wasn’t admitted in a hospital.

Schools never closed ~everyone survived.

Students are basically bullet proof. No schools were shut down for the H1N1 outbreak which did kill young people. So, the teacher's feel free to go shop at the grocery store but not to go to school and have a desk 12 feet from any kid? I agree, make the teacher's go to their class room and conduct their video conferencing classes from there. Make them show up for their 8 hours.

In hindsight we? should have left pro sports operating in March and through the summer

Its the lab that shows no stacked bodies like cord wood and most that test positive had no idea they had it. Would have been a nice counter action to the panic spreaders

already shutting the school down for 2 days to disinfect after 9 positive cases (as of now). Already talks of a shift to virtual learning.

Stunning.

Online learning is not a real answer. School is important for more than learning 2+2. Socializing with others is also necessary for kids. I have several friends who all said that their kids were doing worse with online learning. One is moving his family to Mexico to go to an international school this coming year.

Yeah, they probably aren’t going back Wednesday.

Interesting nuance in the AJC source article that WaPo left out.

Angie Franks said both her nephews who attend the school have tested positive for COVID-19. One came home from school Monday unable to smell, she said in an interview with The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. His mother took him for testing and got results the next day that showed he had been infected with the coronavirus, Franks said. By then, his brother was exhibiting symptoms and was also tested. His positive results were returned Wednesday.

The students are quarantining at home, but both went to North Paulding High on the first day of school last Monday. Franks said the boys’ father notified the school on Tuesday and Wednesday after getting their test results.

online learning is not a real answer, I agree.

If in person learning is going to succeed, it's not gonna include hallways full of kids without masks.

Why not? Even Fauci says we? should expect a 50% effective vaccine. That still leaves a lot of disease spreading around.

It's mostly college that's the joke. High school can be done better as well.

if it's not a problem why is this obviously republican county considering closing it's doors?

Who are you trying to argue against here?
