No problem. I feel the same way and I think we all just need to take a break at times. I hate that Im starting to lose my humanity over this. Obviously, I dont want people to die, I just want them to see reason and get vaccinated so we can all move on from covid and debate the important things like education and healthcare. 

 

This I can get behind.

Vaxxed students exposed need to stay home for 8 days.

Our school district allows a student to return after 3 days with a negative PCR test.

5 here with a negative test, I think.  8 without the negative test.

Hopefully a piece of good news here from Florida as hospitalizations hit a plateau. Cases in Houston also trending down. These were hard hit areas. Hope we see a dive in numbers like in UK and other places.

I took the tweet to indicate that "Covid is killing kids!!" Reading the article and associated information, that is not distinctly the case...for the combination of events I included. 

One of those parts of the unfortunate events was avoidable with a vaccine.

"As of 7 a.m., Monday, 5,599 students and 316 employees in Hillsborough County Public Schools are in isolation or quarantine.

 

The Hillsborough County School Board will hold an emergency meeting on Wednesday at 1 p.m. to discuss the latest impacts and the best way to mitigate the spread of the virus, “up to and including mandatory face coverings for all students and staff,” a notice from the district said."

 

Well done Ronnie.

Firemen would be getting hero worship and extra pay...not teachers!

This is actually about bad timing and combination of 3 or 4 different things. ICU staffing; RSV cases; unvaccinated folks and Delta variant.

What did I miss? I believe the tweet referenced a Covid surge. And 4 of the 5 things you listed are definitely Covid related and the 5th, RSV, very well could be.  Trying to figure out why you would throw shade at this tweet?

 

Part of our current problem is people casting aspersions and doubting what Covid is capable of. So what was the intent?

Very sad, but doesn’t have anything to do with school.  She just happened to be a teacher.

No shade. I pointed out the headline didn't tell the whole story.

To a degree yes, but kids under 13 are thus far not eligible
