Risk of coronavirus spreading in schools 'extremely low'

[h=1]Risk of coronavirus spreading in schools 'extremely low', study finds[/h]
[FONT=&quot]Europe
Coronavirus does not spread widely in schools, according to a major study being considered by Government advisers.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The research looked at 18 infected teachers and students in 15 schools and found that despite them coming into contact with 863 people at the schools, only two had been infected.

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It is the only major study of transmission among children and teachers and shows that the spread of the virus is "limited" in classrooms.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Previous studies have suggested that younger children are likely to only contract a mild form of coronavirus and do not play a major role in the spread of the disease, but this is the first time the spread of Covid-19 in primary and secondary schools has been directly studied. [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It comes as the Government is locked in a battle with teaching unions over plans for primary school children in reception, Year One and Year Six in England to return from June 1.[/FONT]


[FONT=&quot]"Children only have one chance at education. Over the last decade we have made significant strides in closing the gap between the richest and poorest in our schools. This lockdown has put that at risk," the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster told the Andrew Marr Show.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]"If progressive countries like Denmark can be teaching children and have them back in schools, then so should we. The whole point about being a teacher is you love your job. It is a mission, a vocation, to be able to excite young minds."[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dr Soumya Swaminathan, the World Health Organisation's chief scientist, also said on Sunday that "there have not been big outbreaks in schools" and the early results of studies are "very reassuring".[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]She said "the risks to children are extremely low with this infection, and there have not been many cases described of children transmitting it to others, particularly within school settings".[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dr Swaminathan added that, from what is currently known, it appears that "children are less capable of spreading it even if they get the infection, and certainly are at very low risk of getting ill from the disease". [/FONT]

You can only hope. But I’m not into the hoping game. I live in reality. What is your source? Why not cite the source? What is it, a Rush Limbaugh study?

No more lining up for recess, lunch, whatever the fuck. More space between desks. Maybe less kids in classrooms. Documents online for access. Lot of changes will have to be made.

^^^^Thats very weak to me because it’s still very prevalent and how do they know someone won’t go contract it right after the study and then spread it in the school? They aren’t testing so how do you know?

What I would suggest a more accurate informative study would be ways that you can contract it. And then breakdown the likelihood of kids SPREADING IT in schools.


Enclosed areas and assembly lines are the worst, right? So we know that. They say only 3% of people get it in grocery stores. So that tells us that if you are in and out of an enclosed area, you decrease your chances of getting it. Also, very low likelihood that you get it outdoors.


So now look at the school setting. Kids playing games at recess...but outdoors unless raining or in P.E. Crammed up indoors for 7+ hours and around various people. Let’s be realistic.

I want to hear a study way more elaborative about how you can contract it in that setting and the likelihood. Not some temporary numbers like that means anything.

My son's school day consisted of 30 minutes....I dont think he's learned jack shit in the 2 months that he's been home. Curious to know how many people are going to repeat the same grade next year?

I'm not so worried about my kids' school work (their bright kids who take after their mom), its the social interaction with other kids that they are missing out on. Thats the TOUGH part. I took a good look at them last nite when i got home from work. They were still wearing what they wore to bed the nite before and both looked like freaking zombies. I get believe we have 3 more months of this crap as MANY summer camps are being cancelled.

1 plan I saw yesterday was that school would be open Mondays and Tuesdays, closed Wednesdays for cleaning, and open Thursday and Friday.
Kids in middle and high school would stay in the same classroom and a different teacher would come to them every period.
Lunches will be eaten inside the classsroom.

This sucks!!

Many schools all will pass. They are not failing anyone. “State of Emergency”

Anything you can do to argue against good news, eh?
Anything to reinforce the idea that "everything will change" and there will be a "new normal". Agenda so transparent, you can't even read this and say "oh, cool, phew, that's good news."

First thing I said.
