What is your School Doing so far regarding sports?

And all this on the same day a German study released in Saxony (which returned to school with full class sizes and local outbreaks in progress) says schools are not a major vector of transmission and kids may even serve as a break on the infection.

German study finds no evidence coronavirus spreads in schools

Schools do not play a major role in spreading the coronavirus, according to the results of a German study released on Monday. The study, the largest carried out on schoolchildren and teachers in Germany, found traces of the virus in fewer than 1 per cent of teachers and children. Scientists from...

If children are not a major vector of transmission in the first place, how can they be a "break" in transmission just because they are in school for part of the day?

Well at least supermarket workers have a plastic barrier between them and the single customer. Then they sanitize. Health care workers have PPE, or should by now, meat plant workers are also separated by plastic barriers, police usually only face one person at a time when stopping cars etc, etc. and can distance themselves. Step into my classroom, not a single window that opens, 32 desks with barely enough room to walk around, children packed in all day long, touching desks, pencil sharpeners, sinks, picking up things they drop on dirty floor, touching everything. I won't even discuss the bathrooms, but hey they can hold it all day long, right. Maybe we get parents to volunteer and clean the bathroom after the six hundred children at my school use the four bathrooms. It is a totally different environment, it is a petri dish of germs. Or let's go outside in the 100 degree heat and teach all day, or during the Santa Ana Winds. I can see that one now and hear the screams of joy as their papers are taken into the sky. Yep that would be great. No one is asking for a permanent lock down. We just want people to stop being stupid and selfish. We could have been there, we could have reopened, but hey, let's have a Memorial Day get together, let's have a July 4th bbq in the backyard with just a few friends and family, let's protest the beaches being closed by screaming and yelling without masks, let's have a covid party to see who gets it first. Let's go to the hairdresser's garage and get our hair done. Let's have our bible study group, let's have our choir practice, let's have a distance baby shower and pass the darling gifts around. Let's go to a bar, let's not wear a mask I want my freedom, well guess what, we had a chance and blew it. By the way, a look at history shows that children have survived far worse during war time and have come out stronger and more resilient. If this is the worse thing children ever experience then they are truly blessed. Better treatments for the virus are coming and maybe just maybe some form of vaccine.

I was going to say hey you have a valid point about people being "stupid and selfish" but I realized then you left the BLM/Antifa protests off your list, which destroys your credibility. The fact that you mention one form of protest and ascribe bad behavior to them and you don't bring up the other just shows you are in it for the partisan game. It would otherwise have been a valid position to have, even if one disagreed with it.

The fact that one of your justification is that "children have survived far worse during war time" and you believe that children come out stronger and more relisent from wars is scary.

I make it a policy not to insult people on these boards, but that you are an educator is concerning to me, to say the least.

p.s. not my study but I had the same question.

Attention California residents. Uhaul is overwhelmed with rental reservations. The sh*t hit the fan today and I'm not making this up.

I know. I've been trying to get one. Also everything up in NorCal or in the Tahoe area is already booked at this point and the prices they are asking for are completely outrageous.

I don't know how atypical this is. Back in 2004 when I was moving out-of-state, I had to drive from SoCal to Arizona to pick up a uhaul (early August). I think this happens in the summer sometimes... I couldn't find one anywhere in CA.

Recently it has been common. Maybe not being able to get a Uhaul...but the rates.

For instance look up rates from Cal to TX. And then compare rates from TX to Cal.

There has been a large price differential for awhile.
 
Your working from home and make a good living. You can work anywhere you want because you work from home. If you work from home and watch two kids so mom can work too as a nurse, who the hell watches the kids? Dummy, Dumb and Dumb Dumb didnt think all this through. This is the family we are losing as I speak. Good families who obey the laws and pay their taxes. Bye bye nice family......

I will not be available to debate anonymous people on this thread, but I would implore all concerned parents to not get their COVID-19 data from youth soccer message boards.

Just recently getting vehicle smogged, and the place of business also doubles up as a UHAUL rental service. They had ZERO vans on location, and said hundreds upon hundreds are looking for vans to get out of Calif (phone was ringing off the hook)....and that was a small store as well.. you can extrapolate from that....
 
Hearing word Ventura County got pulled as well. At least kiddo had another week of soccer...he was dressed for practice and is now a shivering mess behind is door room......well, we are definitely getting out now (already in advanced stage of planning) at least until it's decided if our private school will open.
 
I doubt we will be seeing fall sports this year. Anaheim UHSD announced they will continue with distance learnng in the fall.

I mentioned the beaches because I saw it first hand. Of course all the stupid and selfish people, including the Black Lives Matter protesters are involved as are all the stupid kids gathering in parking lots to get together at Ladera Middle School, and the McDonalds parking lot and the stupid parents who knowingly allowed it. Also the guy who told me he doesn't care when I offered him my just sanitized cart and he didn't have a face mask on (I was more than six feet away) , the idiot at the car wash sitting there with the mask under his mouth, all the idiots going into markets with their masks under their chin, all the people enjoying a meal at a restaurant but are drunk and laughing and almost yelling to be heard (I was told this by a family member). There are so many instances it is absolutely ridiculous. There is really no surprise in what has happened. I mention the children because so many parents are freaking out thinking their children can't handle this. I have said before, if your child has a mental illness, is severely depressed, seek help. Contact your school district, the county or a private medical provider and get your child the help he/she might need. This virus is a monster but we will eventually have better treatments and maybe a vaccine. Some of the best minds in the world are working on it. In the mean time, put the mask on, social distance and wash your hands correctly. Also, if you have a mental illness or are severely depressed seek help.

They all wore masks. Socially distanced. They all got it. One died.

You know what that article didn't detail?

That she was in the very high risk category. CNN reported the following.
"Kimberley Byrd started feeling unwell in June. She was prone to sinus infections, and also had asthma, diabetes and lupus."

Looking at the photos of her she is also rather overweight.

She was generally speaking a very unhealthy person.

The press played it as if...see going back to school is dangerous. And of course they get the husband to say...hey slow down there pardner...school is dangerous. We need to slow down.

The reality was given her health issues her catching the virus and then passing away is not surprising.

You don't keep schools/biz/sports closed based on cases like this.

People in this category should be staying at home.

You are correct, those at risk should stay away. So for teachers, that's a pretty big number, apparently

maybe 18%, https://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2020/05/07/teachers-at-higher-risk-for-covid-19-worry.html

or 25%, https://www.kff.org/coronavirus-cov...serious-illness-if-infected-with-coronavirus/
