I heard a parent say "Well it's running through our school but it's a good thing. Best to get it over with." Fortunately she was not in conversation with me. Good lord, reminds me of years ago when parents would find out another child had the chicken pox and suddenly wanted to have a party with that child as the special guest. Hope they plan on taking off work and self quarantining with their positive child and then wait on returning to work themselves. Some of these kids have pre-existing conditions, some of their parents are at risk-and some have grandparents living in their home. Yes, most kids will do fine-not really the same to be said about some of the school staff or the family that they are bringing it home to share. 1 Likes

My kid has asthma and I have never seen her friends and her be more than 2 feet apart precovid.She's a happy camper at home, studying in her PJs and actually getting to eat hot breakfast during her lunch break scheduled at 9.30am ( Don't ask me why that is her lunch time!).School is now remote for all till Dec 11, 2020.
