ObiOne 842 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Why are so many students getting tested? Do we test healthy people for the flu? Many schools and universities have been open (in school) for several weeks. Has there been a spike in students with serious illness, hospitalizations, or god forbid deaths? If so, I feel like the media would be showing us every hour of the day. So again, why are so many students getting tested? Seems the proper protocol should be....if you feel bad or have symptoms you should stay home and self quarantine. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Obi- I think many of the cancellations are less about positive cases with test (though there are some) and more about exposure to someone with a positive test or concern over possible exposure which is taken out of caution.

I understand what you are saying. But I can't make it make sense in my head. The science shows that for school kids, the flu is much more dangerous than covid. But somehow we are going to use 100X more caution for covid than we do the flu....for school kids. I thought we were supposed to follow the science. It is time we follow the science! I'm not asking for less caution for school kids than we use on flu. But I sure don't see the need for 100X more caution. “The risk of complications for healthy children is higher for flu compared to COVID-19,” according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. “However, infants and children with underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for both flu and COVID-19.” The CDC estimates there were 480 deaths among U.S. children due to flu in the 2018-19 season, including 136 cases in which the virus was confirmed by laboratory testing. As of mid-August, 90 children died of COVID-19 in the United States, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. More than 46,000 children were hospitalized for flu in that 2018-19 period. The hospitalization rate among children 5 to 17 was 39.2 children per 100,000 children. The hospitalization rate for COVID-19 is six per 100,000 children for those ages 5 to 17, according to the CDC. https://khn.org/news/desantis-says-covid-is-a-lower-risk-for-school-aged-kids-than-flu/ 2 Link to post Share on other sites

But as we get closer to district these coaches & AD’s are having to make some tough decisions and factor things they wouldn’t normally factor. Things like does the opponent have any known cases in school or do they have high # of cases in the district? I’m sure the Supt is involved in that discussion as well.

EazyMoney 105 Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 If we are going to cancel games every single time there is a possible exposure, then it will never be safe to go outside and play ever again. Ever! Nothing but fear and soon they are going to try and mandate Covid vaccines for all. Stop the madness. High school dreams are being ruined in all sports as the insanity rules. Where are our leaders? Too scared? I guess they are all just followers. 7 Link to post Share on other sites

That is my understanding. That’s way above TEA recommendations. COVID exposure with the close contact rule is being within 6 ft of someone for more than 15 minutes where both were not wearing a mask and one of them tests positive... which results in the need to quarantine for 14 days from the day of exposure. Indirect contact is being within 6 ft of someone that tests positive and both are wearing masks meaning no real action has to be taken but not a bad idea to symptom check daily. Shutting down for 2 weeks is basically quarantining the whole damned team so you can come back and do it all over again in 14 days... Not a logical choice IMO if you want to play football. Leave the sick at home and play ball! 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites
ronstopable 13 Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Just wear the mask whether you like it or not. There’s going to be cases but if you really want to keep your team on the field tell them all to wear the mask. The way the rules are written it’s is impossible to have close contact if you wear the mask. Teams that are shutting down are either A. Not enforcing the mask rule or B. Do not understand the rules. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
