Reports of mass quarantine or school closures due to Covid-19 often spark “but did they get it in school?” comments.
This is irrelevant.

All school transmissions will start w an infection from outside of school.

Another thing worth noting:
High community transmission rates means it will be *very* difficult to track down where someone contracted the virus.
Tracing works great when cases are low & there are limited possible exposures. When anywhere is a possible exposure point…

Make that 200+ kids with Covid since school started. 😬
Keeping school buildings open is going to require a massive public effort.
Despite the panic about education loss last year, it sure doesn’t seem like folks are willing to put in the work to make this possible.
