My daughter is quarantined for 10 days bc she had a class with a teacher on Friday who tested positive

*All students and teacher were in masks
*Windows were wide open
*All were 6+ feet apart bc only 7 kids in class
*HVAC audited in summer; updated MERV filters

My daughter wears her winter coat in school because of the open windows.

They eat lunch outside every day -- in rain storms; when it's 30 degrees

She can only attend 2 days per week bc of hybrid model

But wait, there's more!...

Every student is forced to spend the entire day penned inside these barriers with opaque sides, and carry them from class to class. I've corresponded with several ID experts: there is ZERO evidence these barriers make sense

(re the image: <1/2 desks are actually occupied)

The risk of transmission in this environment is exceedingly low. Indeed, students in NY *in school* have a lower case rate than community rate

@westchestergov @NYGovCuomo What is the purpose of all this if you still quarantine asymptomatic students?
