Students/kids aren't major Covid transmitters, [View all]

but the adults in the school community are. Just now, a doctor on CNN said that the overall community needs to have almost zero cases for schools to open despite this. He said that the teachers, support staff, parents, etc who come in contact with the students are the danger and they spread it to the rest of the overall community.

When someone gets sick at a school site the whole thing is going to have to quarantine for two weeks, go back to school, get reinfected and quarantine, etc until all the cases everywhere are down to a certain of percentage of the population.
