So far it’s only been orientation but I have heard that Bais Yaakov is operating with very strict precautions- masks, distancing, and capsules. I doubt that means masks in the classroom, probably just between classes.

this was the protocol being pushed by the medical establishment for the first couple of months. Now, in MA, they keep bragging about how easy it is to get tested.... My wife went to get tested at two walk in centers. At 1pm and at 11am at another, "sorry, we're not testing anymore today".
Called to schedule an appointment with our PCP, the receptionist asked a bunch of questions and then said just quarantine for 2 weeks...
Didn't the federal government reallocate the testing funds out of the Northeast states?

Are there masks in between classes or was that an exaggeration? Do you know how they’re working capsules?

Officially, but let's see what happens Monday. The capsules are classes, it seems (unconfirmed) that they will stay with the same class all day. They are still davening in one big room but separated by class. Lunch in the classrooms. If there is a positive case, all girls in the class who don't have antibodies will stay home for two weeks.

All schools were required to submit their protocols to the Health Department. Based on what the elementary schools are doing, I doubt BY will follow their submitted protocols either.

I don't know what they submitted, I know what they told the girls at orientation.

Yeah. Elementary schools similarly sent their protocols to the parents. I have my doubts.

Compared to what my kids were told at two elementary schools here, this is very impressive

A relative of mine told me his coworker’s child has a cough and a bad cold, so out of an abundance of caution she is keeping him home from school... And bringing him to work

How do we know herd immunity exists ? Outside of vaccinations, if reinfection is a possibility, you're just making wild assumptions.

How is "if reinfection is a possibility" not itself making wild assumptions???

Because reinfection is a possibility for the typical coronavirus.

Any leads as to which subjects it will address - simchos, schools, minyanim, testing, quarantine, masks?

I don't know all details but there's definite talk about them strongly encouraging parents to be vigilant if their kids aren't feeling well and not send to school.

We also know that herd immunity is a possibility for the typical coronavirus. "A possibility" of reinfection is not a valid basis for mass reactionary measures, just as "a possibility" of herd immunity would not be a valid basis for recklessly exposing people to someone with active COVID. Reinfection is a possibility and nothing more.

Source? Not denying this, but I have not seen any hard facts on this.

"A possibility" of reinfection is not a valid basis for mass reactionary measures, just as "a possibility" of herd immunity would not be a valid basis for recklessly exposing people to someone with active COVID. Reinfection is a possibility and nothing more.
Maybe, but this seems to be a question based on something you KNOW to be a false premise. Doesn't look very good for intellectual honesty.

Reinfection as an active danger - which is how it is intended when used as a premise for current reactionary measures - is only a possibility. As a future concern, reinfection may be real.

yet not a "wild assumption" He clearly called it a possibility which you seem to even agree that it is a possibility. Forget about what people may or may not want to do because of such a possibility. Just the facts.
