Um.

“It’s going great. We have half the kids on Mon/Tues and the other half Thurs and Fri.

Right now our positivity in Wentzville is 12.5% which is a little higher. We would like to see that below 5%. Don’t know if we will get there any time soon but something we watch."
Leaving the states again - not far - Windsor, Ontario little one.

Florida - is anyone studying this I hope?

In Florida, 54,406 children have tested + for the virus since March. >11,600 of those are new cases in the past month. 8 children passed away.

How is 10% the goal?
The state positivity rate was 4.22%, still well below the advised 10%.

"There are a lot of theories about what COVID-19 is & isn& #39;t, but the science & data from cases on the UW-Madison campus shows most people who get it, get sick," Dane County Exec Joe Parisi said.

88% of students who test + have shown some level of illness. https://www.jsonline.com/story/news/2020/09/16/covid-19-wisconsin-latest-updates-coronavirus-cases-news/5815227002/">https://www.jsonline.com/story/new...

Fairport, NY where a teacher has tested positive as well.

The student is asymptomatic and attended school this week according to the district.

Transparency??

The district says the MCDOH has completed the contract tracing process. https://www.whec.com/coronavirus/fairport-high-school-student-tests-positive-for-covid-19/5864676/">https://www.whec.com/coronavir...
"The student was reported to have worn a mask all day, aside from lunch, and did not take a school bus, the district said, adding the student was asymptomatic."

I& #39;m wondering how they& #39;re catching these asymptomatic cases.

More than 4,500 students and staff in Texas schools have tested positive for COVID-19 since the start of this school year.

According to the article that& #39;s .02%

BUT - 48% increase in cases for both students and teachers last week.

I& #39;m done.

Very, very sad. Wisconsin teacher passed away from COVID.

As of Thursday, Bay Port was reporting 9 positive cases of COVID-19, 8 involving students. 8 staff/31 students were under quarantine. https://twitter.com/geostanley/status/1306726749754003456">https://twitter.com/geostanle...
I just want to add, when school staff or kids pass away, especially when school is in, it& #39;s a big deal. (@ it is in & should be in worksites, families, etc.) In schools there& #39;s usually gatherings, that shouldn& #39;t happen now, memorial services, and it& #39;s so very extra sad for all.
People are really angry at the people who sent their known COVID-19 + teen to school in Massachusetts (posted above as well). I get it. But maybe the larger system should be questioned given the number of people going to school asymptomatic +? I don& #39;t know https://www.boston.com/news/coronavirus/2020/09/18/a-massachusetts-teenager-tested-positive-for-covid-19-his-parents-sent-him-to-school-anyway">https://www.boston.com/news/coro...

Important: thread within a thread ref other threads. Parents, ppl who work in schools/colleges, this is what you need to know & talk to your BOE about. Tell friends. Make sure they know why - the goal is not to get COVID bc you also give it, you don& #39;t know what it will do in you.
