Alternatively parents are reporting their kids to be sick to avoid going to school...?
Seriously though, about two weeks ago nearly every kid in our kids friend circle had some kind of summer viral fever/flu (light fever for a few days, running nose, sore thoat) that spread like wild fire (in spite of hand washing, masks and nearly no shoulder rubbing). Everyone ran to get a covid19 test done and all tested negative. So it could very well be that infection. Seeing how quickly that viral fever spread amongst the kids my hopes of any containment of Covid19 once schools reopen has faded quickly.
