Our big issue in MD are a lot of bars and restaurants are over capacity. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These clowns are all going to pass the buck and keep pushing this back and back, wasting everyone’s time and energy, until the inevitable cancellation in mid August or early September. This is absurd. Nobody wants to do anything, it’s nuts. ”Just do stuff and it will be fine until it’s not and then we’ll just shut stuff down”. Solid leadership folks.

Solid leadership folks. The OHSAA is a joke and should be ashamed of themselves. We should absolutely leave this “governing body”. They don’t want to be the bad guy and now the burden falls to districts and the health department. What a joke. They have now set a “if by September 4...” clause...this madness will never end!

TVScout Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 For some reason this WaPo article is not free: Students can safely return to college if tested for coronavirus every two days, study says Quote Coronavirus infections can be controlled at universities this fall if students are tested for the virus every two days, according to a study published Friday. The study was done by researchers from the Yale School of Public Health, Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association open network. The study used computer simulations to show how the virus might spread among a hypothetical cohort of 5,000 students. In the simulations, 4,990 students were assumed to be coronavirus-free, while 10 were assumed to be infected. Researchers found screening every two days using a rapid, inexpensive test — even one that was not always accurate — would “maintain a controllable number of covid-19 infections” if coupled with “strict behavioral interventions” such as quarantining positive students in isolation dormitories. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/students-can-safely-return-to-college-if-tested-for-coronavirus-every-two-days-study-says/2020/07/31/a4316db0-d27f-11ea-af07-1d058ca137ae_story.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WizeGuy Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 This may seem like an outlandish idea, but what about having a trained dog at the entrance of schools. The kids I'm sure would love the dog. You could make it the friendly dog the school kids love. Ive read theu detect infection at a 94% rate. I didnt read the studies. I only read the headline, so im not sure how reliable the study was. But if the results have some significance, They'd have a month to train the dogs for the school year starting here in upstate NY. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends how far away the dog needs to be to sense the virus. Also, if the kids are masked up, and the dog just sniffs by their ankles- then i assume the dog would be pretty safe. I'm just throwing **** at the wall at this point. Schools need to find a clever way to get this done if they want a chance at staying open.

MookieMonstah Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 We plan on opening, which I’m alright with since we have very little cases right now. Biggest issue will be the quarantine protocol. What kid/adult isn’t going to have a runny nose/cough in November/December? No one will be in the building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
