I know of a driver driving 4 people to work. The driver got Covid-19 and passed it to the 4 people. Now the company had to shutdown cuz it spread inside their facility.

That would seem flawed to me, the fact that kids bring it into the schools shows that they could contract it. Or is it assumed that all cases brought into schools are by adults that expose the kids but the children don't pass it to one another? I ask because my cousin and wife in England are believed to have contracted it from their child bringing it home from an outbreak at her school. I can only emphasize the need for in home responsibility when it comes to following bc guidelines so as not to affect schools. Those dummies who are still socializing outside of their immediate household are putting everyone at risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree I was just wondering what the logic is and if it is believed that children don't pass it around? and how do they stop kids from socializing outside their household if they are seeing friends at school?

Yah kids at school don't transmit colds / flu either...... or covid. Anti science people will really be what sets BC hard into this 2nd wave of covid....

That it was brought into the school by student/teacher/staff. But no cases (so far) of spreading it inside the school. I feel like they are framing the argument to fit their need to keep schools open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Putting them back in school is not a decision I would want to make for my kids and fam. Up to what age is the reduced transmission? Is this mostly an adult virus? I have a couple family members in the school system. They are concerned. I keep hearing more and more stories. Today was a friend stating his sons Lacrosse academy has an exposure, so the group may have to be tested. Also, why is AB switching their 7-12 to home schooling on Nov 30?
