An average of 347 cases per day were reported in Escambia County, a 24 percent increase from the average two weeks ago. Since the beginning of the pandemic, at least 1 in 7 residents have been infected, a total of 42,840 reported cases. Right now, Escambia County is at an extremely high risk for unvaccinated people.

The rates we have will insure that if you are unvaccinated you will get the virus at some point. It is not a bullying message, a trying to get you to get vacimnated message or any of that. It is just a fact. It is what it is…reality.

It takes 5-12 days for that after initial contact.
They were contaminated if you will before school started
Poor guys didnt know it and it had nothing to do with school after 2 days.
Prayers for all

But the school headlines made for good politics eluding to Gov DeSantis and the issue at hand between he and schools

I feel if we can get the politics out of the way and everyone get on the same page things would perhaps get better.
Too many people reacting to all and each media outlet they listen to and read.

We have become experts on misinformation .

Lots of hyperbole , a ton of it.

August 11 through August 19 is greater than 5 days, closer to 8.

Very likely some were infectious August 11, any they infected would have been infectious by Monday, August 16 (actually some by Saturday, August 14, but mostly just friends and relatives over the weekend). Some of those THEY infected at school would have been infectious by August 19 and some of those THEY infected would have been infectious by August 22 and will likely infect some Monday 23 (not counting their parents and grandparents from today, Sunday) and of those THEY infect will be infectious by Thursday August 26 and some of those THEY infect…

If too many people are infected at once, local healthcare becomes overwhelmed, people WILL DIE WHO COULD HAVE SURVIVED — even if they don’t have COVID-19 — because the healthcare workers will be overwhelmed, supplies depleted.

“Looking only at cases for which they could determine the exact time of exposure, researchers found that the time interval from exposure to positive PCR test ranged FROM THREE TO FIVE DAYS, WITH A PEAK AT 3.71 DAYS. In contrast, data from the 2020 outbreak showed that it took an average of six days from exposure to positive test with a range of five to eight days and a peak at 5.61.

“Not only were Delta-infected individuals testing positive two days earlier, on average, THEY WERE ALSO WAY MORE INFECTIOUS BY THE TIME THEIR INFECTIONS WERE DETECTABLE. And by “way more infectious,” we’re talking about VIRAL LOADS THAT WERE AN AVERAGE OF 1,260 TIMES HIGHER THAN THOSE OBSERVED IN INDIVIDUALS INFECTED WITH THE ORIGINAL STRAIN OF THE VIRUS.”

Please note I changed to capital letters those parts I figured need stressing.

and your loved ones too

A minor quibble, but I hate to see Him misquoted: “God said we are fearfully and wonderfully made,” would be closer since it doesn’t have Him claiming to have been made but still off since the psalmist is the actual speaker:
Psalm 139:14
I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.
(King James Version)

Now back to our discussion…

Vaccines keep the ones who get it from being as sick, for the most part and their bodies simply don’t make as much of the virus to spread around.

Can’t some of the COVID funds be used for something like that?

I think vaccines should be mandated before they can go to school, if over 12.

Parents, get with the program.

Get a vaccine, for yourselves, your children and your community.

It’s that simple.

You are free to take advantage of modern medicine and not stay in the dark ages.

Escambia Alabama has a terribly low vax rate also.
