Or is this pseudo quarantine as policy by the school district?
The reality is that this virus will be in every school soon.
The local school board needs to decide what it is going to do when it does.
After all the months of lying, faking statistics and outright deceitful behavior I believe none of this crapola anymore.
They are infected. Ok.
Are they sick?
“The first letter went out on Aug. 4, one day after students in the Cherokee County School District returned to their classrooms for the first time since the eruption of the coronavirus pandemic.”
Well that didn’t take long.
If they could test the students on opening day, why didn’t they do it during the week before school started?
Seems like a failing on the part of the school administration.
It’s the second day of school.
How are these kids testing positive? Are they testing kids at school? Were they sick? If they were sick, why send them to school?
Sounds contrived, coordinated, hoaxing
How and why did they test that many people in one day...
they're intent on destroying a generation.
My question is , “Why quarantine students if the all powerful mask mandate is in place?” Are they quarantining just students who tested positive? Are they quarantining students whose family members have tested positive? Are they quarantining all students when another student tested positive? Only the first two have merit from a medical standpoint.
We shut down for two weeks to prevent hospitals from being overrun in the first two weeks. Six months later we aren’t talking about hospitals anymore, now we have to self quarantine to prevent having to self quarantine.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Are they really positive or just showing one of the evergrowing list of symptoms?
It’s very misleading, both the headline and the story.
It does not make clear that virtually all of the >1000 students and staff in quarantine are there because of the THEORETICAL risk of exposure to an asymptomatic antigen or PCR positive person.
This policy of immediate quarantine of 1000 people because of a single positive test of unknown significance will, of course, make opening schools impossible - which is exactly what it is designed to do.
Children are not at an appreciable risk. The staff under the age of 60 without any co morbidities are also at no appreciable risk. So therefore let the virus do it’s thing.
Bottom line.....Trump’s fault.
The New York Slimes publishes slime...nothing new here.
