Depends on where you are in Missouri. Every staff member will be tested on a rotation.

Here we test vaccinated or not. It will continue as long as it's politically expedient.

Let’s remember that you just might have an underlying illness and have absolutely NO idea. This goes for our students too. Don’t be that naive!

Who is they — many in my district are vaccinated that test positive — since vaccinated spread covid as readily as unvaccinated — what is the justification with not testing the vaccinated on regular basis??

likesmartupliftingfunny

Vaccinated people can still spread the virus, but are less likely to do so due to the reduced viral load that a vaccinated person would carry. Also, there’s a much lower risk for a vaccinated person to become seriously ill. Your district doesn’t want you to become seriously ill with covid. Not necessarily because they care so deeply, but it’s because you become a liability.

Until the numbers drop to the point when they feel it is no longer necessary.

Why shouldn’t there be any unvaccinated teachers — the vaccine has proven that it doesn’t prevent transmission?

Why do surgeons wear masks, why do virologist work in sanitized labs, why do I take medication for diabetes. Because people with medical training told me to do it so I can live longer.

Not required in my district.

Not only do we not test, we were just told that as of tomorrow no individual contact tracing & then no quarantining! 👍🏼😊 Obviously if someone doesn’t feel well they are to stay home. Instead admin will let the whole class know, ask them to keep an eye on their health, and that’s it.

One district nearby did the numbers last year, only .001% of those students quarantined actually came down with covid, however many of them failed and lost credit.

likesmarthelpful

However if the kid was quarantining for a family member I’m sure the stats were higher. And I said school, I meant in the ENTIRE school district only 1 student who quarantined because of school actually came down with covid.

How about you ask your nurse at the school. You know, the one who is more knowledgeable about this pandemic and is an expert in their field. Not us.

Really HST1-that’s calling the kettle black.

It’s rather alarming when the person testing you tells u that most of the people she is testing are vaccinated —- I’d like to know the true statistics — unfortunately statistics lie

The proper quote is "liars, damned liars, and statisticians." It is not a semantic argument. The statistics are what they are. They don't lie. It is the people that abuse them either by cherry picking their data or withholding context.

Our district does not do weekly testing of anyone. Less than 1/2 our staff is vaccinated and we are not seeing our numbers increase in our district. We do however still HIGHLY RECOMMEND that everyone mask up, wash their hands and use sanitizer. We do have a virtual option if it were to come to it, but so far all of our buildings have been able to stay open all 180 required days since returning in Aug of 2020! My own personal opinion is that we need to get away from the shaming each other vaccinated or not.

like

We never started doing that.

like

Our school district has never required testing. When vaccines were first made available to educators in our state our superintendent made it very clear that, while he was getting vaccinated and supported the idea, it was each teacher’s choice and the school district would not ask any questions.

My district does not require this. I am so thankful to live in Texas.

Are the unvaccinated unable to catch and spread the virus? That's new information to me.

like

There is nothing dangerous in those vaccines and the people who claim that it causes death are lying because they want to justify their evil and immoral choice not vaccinate. Get vaccinated and stop making excuses. Until then please don’t enter a school. If you cared about your students you would vaccinate

likefunnyupliftingsmart

New Jersey middle sch 4 - and you have zero proof that it wasn’t the vaccine. Vaxxed people don’t get the virus? Vaxxed people don’t spread it? You don’t follow science. You follow the political science that you want to believe. Allow people to make up their own minds for their own healthcare. Sometime someone might force you to get procedures/ meds that they think you should have. Quit trying to bully people
