Wow. 34% of denominational schools have at least 50% vaxxed. Vs a measly 1% of Govt schools. I guess antivax sentiment is higher the lower the education level.

Would a fisherman say his fish is rotten ?adnj wrote:Pfizer says Covid vaccines over 90% effective in children aged 5-11
Kid-size doses of Pfizer's COVID-19 vaccine appear safe and nearly 91% effective at preventing symptomatic infections in 5- to 11-year-olds, according to study details released Friday as the U.S. considers opening vaccinations to that age group.
The shots could begin in early November, with the first children in line fully protected by Christmas, if regulators give the go-ahead. That would represent a major expansion of the nation's vaccine drive, encompassing roughly 28 million elementary school-age youngsters.

According to Understood.org, video gives remote learning options for students with different learning styles to engage in a topic. For instance, the teacher might allow students to read an article about gravity, attend a live video lesson or watch a pre-recorded video lesson.
Pre-recorded video can remove barriers to learning in many ways, including:
Students who need more processing time can pause and rewind the video.
Students who benefit from repetition can watch it as many times as they want.
Students can take notes as they wish at their own pace.
Students who are deaf or hard of hearing can read the closed captioning.
Students who benefit from being given notes can review a transcript.
Flexibility is clearly ingrained in any viable solution. There are essentially five workable scenarios that encompass most in-person, hybrid, and distanced learning situations.
Scenario 1: Smaller rooms, larger screens, fewer students.
This scenario allows for social distancing within smaller spaces. It’s important to have 4K technology so students far away can see the screen and those in close can also clearly see the content without any pixilation issues.
Scenario 2: Larger rooms, larger screens, socially distanced students.
This scenario calls for half the number of students to be in the classroom for social distancing. Larger screens and projectors with greater brightness and long lamp life are needed so students in the back of the room can see the content clearly.
Scenario 3: Personal spaces, personal screens, remote students.
This is a pure virtual learning situation where students and the instructor are all completely remote. The display technology that is needed to optimize the experience includes cameras, desktop monitors, large LCD monitors, and projection systems of various sizes. Again, bigger is better. The reason is small laptop screens add to a growing concern called computer vision syndrome for both students and teachers. According to the American Optometric Association, computer vision syndrome, or digital eye strain, which describes a group of eye- and vision-related problems, can result from prolonged computer, tablet, e-reader and cell phone use. If students have a larger screen, their eyes do not have to work so hard to see, read and comprehend the information.
Scenario 4: Mid-size room, multiple screens, present and remote students
This is a hybrid situation that is most similar to traditional environments. Screens are mounted or projected to the back of the room. The instructor can stand at the front of the room and still see the faces of all the students in the class. Of all the scenarios, this allows the teachers and professors to maintain their teaching style, enable continuity and quality of instruction with the greatest amount of natural, personal interaction.
Scenario 5: Mobility for as-needed convenience
Sometimes a flexible, mobile solution is called for. Many schools have implemented an a la carte, “on a cart” approach using 65-inch, 4k monitors. The monitors are installed on a wheeled cart with a camera and stand-alone PC to use among several rooms. When video conferencing is needed, the cart can be rolled into the classroom and learning can commence.

The numbers that we are bringing out also matter. Also with almost half the 12 to 18 vaxxed any spread should be less than what would happen in a school population of 100% unvaccinated. The plan is too wait till January. Hopefully we should have authorization for vaccines for kids 5 to 11 by then and also a little closer to herd immunity in the general population. But it also depends on what happens with Delta.

That herd immunity is still possible? I thought that was out the door.
Because of the higher transmissibility of the delta variant, community immunity shifted from 60%+ to 75%+. With children becoming eligible for vaccination, it is attainable.redmanjp wrote:eitech wrote:redmanjp wrote:DMan7 wrote:Well if unvaxxed children are allowed for Forms 4 - 6 then everyone should now be allowed back to school, there's no prerequisite for attending school anymore.

Not completely. We still need to bring down hospitalizations and deaths. Even if the virus stays it should be at lower levels which are manageable like the flu. So the herd immunity would be against severe covid which would be comparable to flu cases.

Vaccine hesitancy is about 20 % to 35% in many countries - that is what makes community immunity very unlikely for those nations.

Young children may not be at risk of hospitalization but they very effectively spread infection to other children and caretaker adults.
Young kids more likely than older kids to spread COVID-19 to household
A Canadian study today in JAMA Pediatrics suggests that while younger children are less likely than older children to be the index COVID-19 patient in their home, they are more likely to spread it to household members.
Led by researchers from Public Health Ontario in Toronto, the study involved 6,280 households with COVID-19 index patients 17 years and younger from Jun 1 to Dec 31, 2020.
Of the 6,280 households, 1,717 (27.3%) experienced SARS-CoV-2 transmission to a median of two siblings or caregivers in the household 1 to 14 days after index patient diagnosis. Children aged 0 to 8 had higher odds of transmitting the virus, but those 3 years and younger had the greatest infectivity (odds ratio [OR], 1.43 vs those 14 to 17 years).
Similar odds were seen when restricting secondary cases to those occurring 2 to 14 days or 4 to 14 days after diagnosis of the index patient, regardless of symptoms or link to a school or childcare outbreak or reopening.
Consistent with increasing degrees of autonomy, proportions of index patients in each age-group rose with age, with 12% of those 0 to 3 years, 20% of those 4 to 8, 30% of those 9 to 13, and 38% of those 14 to 17. Mean COVID-19 index patient age was 10.7 years, and 45.6% were girls.

The people themselves have no clue what they are doing.
From the very start of this pandemic, the people in charged asked the citizens over a hundred times to wear their masks, sanitize and DO NOT CONGREGATE.
No one listened and that is why we are in this position today.
Allyuh don’t want to follow the protocols correctly and consistently, allyuh don’t want to take the vaccine but blaming the leaders.
How much more can those in charge do or say if the majority of the people are NOT listening and complying?
Don’t blame the leaders, blame Trinis.

and that was before delta. even more spread will occur with delta if children are not vaccinated and they go back out to school.
