Lakewood covid cases

My daughter had the same last week. Not strep, not consistent with flu, couldn't be covid

Strange. Last time I experienced anything like that it was with a mono type illness over a decade ago. Maybe has something to do with post covid immunity levels even though it’s been months?

Or Covid messes with your auto immune system. Just heard of a mid-aged family member with allergy attacks a couple of months after getting Covid. No previous allergy history.

Family member had severe hives ten days after Covid-19 that are still breaking out when he takes Ibuprofen.

Time for a new thread? My family member hasn't figured out what triggers it yet.

Well, it finally went away after a few days of high dose steroids originally. Then he took Ibuprofen one day and BOOM!

Very interesting. My family member did not take any ibuprofen, so it's not that.

I just read through the past couple of days on this thread. I'm surprised there are still people who believe schools shouldn't be open.

How'd you get that from the discussions of the past couple days?

This was probably the first post to give me that impression.

Big difference between a victim of the first wave and one of the second wave for this.
Also, exploiting was the wrong word for me to use. I just find the marketing around it distasteful. The fact that SA was *the* trailblazer essentially reopening schools in Lakewood after the first wave and that their extremely high risk principal died from covid, is just too ironic (probably wrong word too) for me for them to use him as a marketing tool.
Additionally, didn't R' CD Keller own Telshe Chicago as a partner?

I guess I didn’t either

Do you still believe that there is no circumstance in which a school should close?

Did I ever?

Are you trying to be cute?

What would your threshold for closing a school be?

Don't close them.

How old are your kids and what did you do with them during the last lockdown?

As the father of 4, including one who unwittingly brought it home from school right after Purim and infected my whole house, I would respectfully disagree with your position.

After a person has seen how this disease impacts their own family (including ongoing complications six months later) when there were no warnings or precautions, it changes the perspective.

I believe that was in reference to closing schools based on cases outside the school, in that case my position stands. In terms of closing schools based on an outbreak within the schools, yes they should be closed if there is an outbreak.

I hope this clarifies my position.

I didn't mean that schools should've remained closed; I think the benefit::risk ratio is worth keeping them open (see my previous posts on this topic). But I feel that for the first school which took that risk, and took the responsibility for their extremely high risk employee, to market said employee for a fundraising campaign is distasteful. It feels like, for the school, that money trumps all (which is why I compared it to the apparent need for schools to keep their weddings halls opened with no restrictions.)

Again, this is my stupid opinion and it's clear that the family is fully on board so I don't really want to discuss it more.

I don't know the details, but unless someone knows otherwise I will assume the school did not force him to come in so the school didn't put him at risk.

Quite probable. He loved what he did (and was amazing at it too).

[cholent]

And he did not contract covid at school
