Every Friday I get an email from the school (not district, just an elementary school) that either a teacher or a student got tested COVID positive and they have informed whoever they came in contact with and asking them to quarantine for 2 weeks..

and a very small % of students are attending in person.. imagine if everyone starts going to school..

They are testing us every week and there were 6 positive cases since the beginning of this quarter.
