There hasn't been too many cases at the elementary school my kids go to that I'm aware of, and none reported in either of their classes yet. Since the ex wife works from home worst case if one or both has to quarantine it's not the end of the world.

Yeah this is the only case at the elementary school so far, and it didn't come from school, the child brought it with them.  No evidence of transmission from that child to any other child, or to any adults in school, so we should be good to go when the 14 days is up.

Until the next one, of course.

You wouldn't know unless your child was directly affected.  They keep it hush-hush, with the excuse that to avoid cases being double-counted, they report it solely to the state/covid-tracking body. 

Meanwhile, everyone at a school is still sending their kids everyday, none the wiser.

Other teachers aren't told when the class next door to them has cases.  I've only been told how many we had out as those initially told to stay home are coming back in a couple of days.  

Arizona is an immoral shithole that relies on being out west and no one truly giving a damn.

Were you expecting covid to leap out from the water fountain?  How else would it happen besides a child bringing it with them??

It wasn't an adult in the school that transmitted to the student, nor was it another student-- it was someone in that covid-positive student's family/circle/environment.

And from the other students and teachers that had "first-hand contact" with the covid-positive student, none have developed symptoms.  I made the initial distinction to demonstrate that this was not a case of in-school transmission.

In the case of my son, the "first-hand contact" was all the way across the room, and this person isn't a close friend so they weren't interacting together outside during recess or PE, either.


The idea of a virus leaping from a water fountain is amusing, however.

Nope.  And I doubt they'd maintain theirs if too many zeros changed to crooked, multiple-digit numbers, either.

Oh one other thing, the state's contact tracing group, contacted me within 2 hours of when the school let me know.  Just thought that would be of interest to some, who are concerned about the level of contact tracing occurring around the USA.

In my family's two "brushes with COVID" the state contact-traced us within 24 hours of being notified of the positive case that occurred within our surroundings.
I was contacted by the Iowa Department of Public Health 5-days after my positive test. By then I had already contacted every known contact I recalled. But one of the elderly persons I contracted from didn't know she shouldn't do her own grocery shopping. 
I am not blaming her. She is 89, a lovely person, but many are simply unaware. We all need to do better.

Probably like everywhere, the grocery stores here are pushing at home shopping hard.  And the store has more Kroger employees shopping than shoppers.

But when you are 89, you likely won't even see the news this is possible.  You likely don't know what Amazon is, not because you are stupid, but because you are rather set in your ways and don't understand all that newfangled stuff, and are somewhat reticent to trying new things.

And of course, a lot of efforts exist to take your money like Joe Namath.  So, these folks are understandably conservative unless they have a child who walks them through it.

The scams that come my way are at times amazing, the best ones are IRS scams.

France as I note reports roughly 40,000 cases per day, often over 50,000, on a population of 65 million.  That is double our rate.

And they have run just over half as many tests per million pop also, so that isn't it.

And they are significantly in a lock down of course, technically.

My expat friend living/working in Paris made it out on the day of the lockdowns, flew back to his home in Austin.

I sure hope he self-quarantines for 14 days, don't want him bringing that new strain of the Spanish China Virus to my area. ;)

Our neighbor is just back from Turkey, haven't seen him.  I hate to text and risk waking him up.
