    Her story is extremely sad and DIDN'T NEED TO HAPPEN
    and of course anti-maskers will blame it on her history of respiratory issues.

    My hometown high school in rural, central MN was forced to immediately end all in person classes and move to distance learning yesterday due to a massive outbreak among students and staff. Evidentially, it’s so widespread that contact tracing was deemed impossible. 

    These rural areas are are going to get hammered this fall/winter.

    my wife told me last night that the education system in BC is no longer requiring students with runny/stuffy nose to stay home and isolate, and that Manitoba might soon follow that model. 

    hoo boy. she going to be an interesting winter.

    Hughbaby, your wife is correct. Here's thedaily checklist in BC. The reasoning is so that kids can have a better opportunity go and get in a routine, authorities state.

    Alberta did not follow suit, but they have about double our cases.

    The air is so bad with the fires, and were 1500 miles away from most of them, that half the kids and stuffy/runny noses or other allergies. 
    I have no problem with that, if a runny nose is your only symptom and air is bad or you have allergies, then go to school.

    i had mentioned to my wife a few months ago that she needs to be prepared for the eventuality that we're going to start just learning to live with this virus, and it kinda seems like that's where we're headed. she works in child care. so she's stressed a lot of the time, and sad a lot of the time, being around really young kids; it kills her that these little ones can't see the teachers smile at them, how scary it must be for these little guys.

    I've had runny nose response to all the smoke so I kind of get what you mean, but it must be scary and I can appreciate HFD's concern because you never know- is the kid just responding to smoke or is he or she carrying the virus?  If it were me, I'd keep my kids out of school and home-school until this is all over.  It won't last forever.

    and parents lie about it anyway. so many of them brought their kids to daycare with a runny nose, claiming it was allergies. "really, we've been taking care of (kid) for years, and all of a sudden he has allergies? has he been tested for these allergies?". 

    and honestly, keeping anyone home for 2 weeks because of a runny nose isn't sustainable long term. we all knew that was going to be swept off the table very quickly.

    We had a very ambiguous email from our kid's principal the other day. It said we had a lot of kids with congestion and runny noses and "thank you for the parents who did the right thing and kept them home" then went on to explain this is not covid and there is no concern, there are a lot of allergies going around because of the smoke. 
    We even canceled outdoor lunch for 2 days because of the smoke.
    So we kept him home 1 day after that email then sent him back. Both our kids, still very young, have always had allergies and with this smoke has been worse, I'm not keeping them home until next spring because of a sensitive respiratory system.

    My sister and her grandson were tested negative because of a smoke related cough so he could attend daycare. 

    Here's 2 slides from the September 22 Federal Government modelling.

    https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health/services/diseases/coronavirus-disease-covid-19/epidemiological-economic-research-data/mathematical-modelling.html

    With schools open, one can reason we are not decreasing social encounters, so we can expect an upward trajectory greater than in the Spring, with less deaths due to lower ages of cases.
