At L-S High School (they do not wear masks in school, or at least it isn't required), a volleyball player, a cross country runner, and a football player all tested positive for Covid. With contact tracing, that put about half the school in quarantine. Sounds like the superintendent wants to go hybrid when they return, he says social distancing isn't possible when everyone is in attendance.
Wonder what kind of scheduling they’re on. We’re in blocking scheduling with the same 4 classes everyday. Our school also has a mask mandate but that doesn’t matter with contact tracing. They try to limit the movement of all the kids, and all high school kids have open campus for lunch spread over 4 lunch period. Very few stay and eat in the school. Of course we’re a smaller school work 300 +/-.
I am not sure on that, but they are even smaller with around 150 high school students, I believe. Where my wife teaches, masks are required and the students stay in the same room all day, the teachers rotate from room to room. Also the cafeteria is completely closed, students go in groups to pick up their lunches and then eat in the same classroom each day. It sounds miserable for the teachers.
Hopefully you’re not counting IC and DM schools not playing. It’s not due to actual exposure or positive tests.
Good point, I did forget they weren't playing. That takes the number up to ~93%
You don't have to believe me, but I know certain things about certain situations which make my opinions valid.
Who is? If you're referring to me... you're way off.
Yes, I'm absolutely referring to you. You speak in absolutes, but when questioned, or shown legitimate contradictory info, you simply ignore or go off on a borderline conspiracy theorist tangent.
Uh, no. We've gone back and forth , so I don't know when I mentioned it, but my daughter has gone back and forth with County Health and school officials regarding my grandson's quarantine and she says she gets a different explanation every time she talks to someone. So my info comes from personal knowledge of one, specific situation. So, yes... I do have first hand info.
Only in your world do annicdoctal experiences trump state, national and international verifiable datasets.
There is no justification for this to be handled differently from County to County. This all flows down from the Gov's office and State entities.
There is a giant backlog. You can't believe a Reynold's backed IDPH is equipped to handle this? They can't handle testing. They surely aren't capable of contact tracing. The State has tried to push all responsibility to others.
Does your grandkids know you sit on message boards and complain about everything all day long? If so I'm sure they are very proud.
Why would you what I bitch about? This Covid thing has highlited some leadership problems with the IHSAA, the IDPH, and most profoundly, Kim Reynolds.
Please explain to me what your qualifiations are or your position. Otherwise, I'm calling bullshit.
Recognizing inadequate leadership hardly qualifies as a partisan troll. Even supposedly non political departments such as the IHSAA and IDPH, and CDC have been corrupted.
Which state leaders do you feel have done, in your twisted world view opinion, a good job? And by which metric(s) do you form that opinion? I know you already mentioned DeWine, and we debunked that by the most common measures, so who else?
Just as an aside... my daughter works for one of the two largest hospitals in CR and had been DIRECTLY involved with Covid cases and treatments since March. So you can cease the demeaning comments insinuating some uneducated, uninformed parent in this instance.
You didn't debunk anything. Political pressure from the WH and the Iowa Statehouse have watered down most data.
Again, which states do you feel have done a good job and by which metric(s)?
Which makes your claim that you know business owners that praise Reynolds irrelevant. Make a claim and don't back it up.😏 I put that one in the same column as Trump promising a vaccine by election day.
You dont see the hypocrisy and irony? No one has made more unfounded claims in this thread than you have.
And you're the one posting "doctored" CDC/IDPH data. You see why I'm skeptical of everything you post? The WH has pressured the health agencies with every move.
Do you acknowledge how constantly referring to the only banks of comprehensive data as "doctored", "manipulated", etc can easily be thought of as conspiracy theories and it takes any semblence of credibility you had on page 1 of this thread and completely destroyed it?
What data can you provide to show testing has decreased? According to Johns Hopkins (do you have a problem w/ Johns Hopkins now too?), testing has remained flat or increased in 72% of the states WoW.
