Yesterday’s case was a kid that was at a before school care program along with more than a dozen others. We’re in our 8th day here. We have 24 positive cases and 276 people in quarantine. These numbers include students, teachers, and staff.
September 1, 20214 yr Vaccines will be HUGE but kids are still going to be infected even after they vaccinate though in much smaller numbers. Hopefully there will be some good preparation for that eventuality.

I'm strongly pro-vax but I'm not OK with the health system writing unvaxed people off like people are suggesting. If insurance companies want to raise their premiums to account for the addition risk they have, fine. That's consistent with other high risk insureds and promotes vaccination but people suggesting hospitals turn sick people away to die is pretty F'd up. Your examples are the most common that come up but are we now going to say all preventable traumatic orthopedic treatment is to be denied? "You caused a car accident and broke your neck, sorry, should have been a safer driver. Blew your knee out playing football, sorry, that a non essential recreational activity. You accepted the additional risk now live with the consequences gimp." I understand the emotions, frustration, and even anger but people have to not let it make them into evil a-holes in the process.

September 1, 20214 yr bucks' county is making national news the bucks' county way! link is to a local site but they were just talking about this on msnbc. https://www.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/2021/09/01/central-bucks-achool-district-adopts-mask-mandate-john-gamble-resigns-after-threats-pennsylvania/5670477001/ Board Vice President John Gamble got the brunt of that anger after a special meeting last Wednesday, when the board ultimately rejected an updated plan that could have required masks in schools immediately. Gamble said he felt he was put into the role of the swing vote among the divided board, and his vote not to require masks last week caused online bullying and even death threats on him and his family. This news organization has filed a Right to Know Law request for a copy of the threat Gamble said was in his "inbox" that was subject to open records requests under state law. "No matter how I vote, I will be viewed as public enemy No. 1 again," a frustrated Gamble said after discussion seemed to be putting him into another swing vote position Tuesday. Between online harassment if he voted for universal masking and potential death threats if he voted mask optional, Gamble told the crowd the divisive issue had "broken" the community.
September 1, 20214 yr The virus will be with us forever. Cases will never be zero. We need to assume risk and move on with our lives. ”positive cases” scare people but if they are not going to the hospital then why panic? i work at a long term care facility. 100% of the building has been vaccinated since Janurary. Here comes the madness. A nurse tested positive (surveillance testing) with no symptoms at all. The result? All residents have to be quarantined in their rooms for 2 weeks, even though they’ve all tested negative (rapid test and molecular) and show no symptoms. The nurse has to stay home for 10 days. Everyone exposed has been vaccinated! Total madness. A vaccine works by preventing you from getting extremely sick when infected, it does not prevent infection that a test won’t pickup. So we’ll be in this madness indefinitely until something changes with protocol regarding a positive case. There should be case separation between positive/no hospital and positive/hospital admitted.

I guess you are not in the medical field. There are medical reasons, valid, standard procedures for dealing with infectious disease. Everybody exposed, like the nurse, could be positive and have no symptoms. They can spread the disease. Everyone infected can still spread the disease regardless of vaccination status. It only protects the vaccinated, and even that protection is not perfect, especially among patients with certain existing conditions. My guess is in a long term care facility, there are plenty of at risk patients. Regardless of vaccination status, getting COVID COULD be a problem for a lot of people, as well as any unvaccinated people coming into the facility.

Should any type of natural disaster or something else that can tax their hospital systems happen now...a lot of people are going to suffer and die. I saw where a guy couldn't get a bed and he had Pneumonia and then since he couldn't get in for care he ended up catching corona on top of it and died without help at all.

Agree on that last part. here’s my big concern in terms of school - not that kids are going to get deathly sick and hospitalized - but that their education is going to be so interrupted and broken that they don’t learn anything for the second year in a row. Masking in schools to me is more about keeping kids learning than it is healthy. We know the vast majority of kids testing positive have little to no symptoms and aren’t getting hospitalized but the more kids testing positive the more likely it is the schools get shut down again, and/or go remote which we know was a complete joke.

I've been through this since the beginning. I am stating that where we are with protocols is madness. This is the top of the mountain with a vaccine that works and protects those who choose to be vaccinated from severe illness. So we need to learn to live with the risks of the virus, which will never be eliminated. It is almost criminal to lock residents in their rooms for weeks on end, away from friends, family, and living what amount of life they have left when they are 100% vaccinated along with everyone else in the building. For what it's worth, I've seen hospice patients prior to the vaccine get covid and survive the disease.

After they can actually get boosters, less caution would be warranted.
