Greater Cincinnati school cancels class due to illness with
staff and students.
While covid is not mentioned, we can assume it is a combination
of illness and that covid is likely one of them.

Just a Masked Man side-note long-winded commentary if I may:
I can't help but note that the lack of disclosure of what
particular illness is going on and the numbers involved is
alarming and disturbing. It indicates a lack of responsibility
to the general public to not disclose at least that information.
They don't have to disclose personal names just names of
illness. It just seems the public deserves to know what the
illness is or what the illnesses are and what is at stake here.
Its not a big school but people who have had contact or close
encounters with people there that come down with symptoms should
be able to say to their doctors I might have contracted such and
such disease rather than not having a clue as to what illness
they might have contracted.
..or maybe the schools don't even know themselves which seems
like a sort of incompetence not to have things in place at
school to determine considering how burnt we've all gotten by
these diseases the last five years and since covid and flare up
of several diseases. Schools should have things in place or
better communication system to determine and therefore be able
to announce the particular illnesses they are spreading to
nearby communities and their contacts considering our experience
with the pandemic thus far. Its just a lack of intelligence not
to be able to report at least what they are mostly suffering
from while receiving attention from local news. Maybe it is too
soon to tell but at least they are cancelling school and
admitting they are sick.
I'm just hoping this isn't a new trend where schools like many
performing artists and musicians aren't disclosing what they
know about the contagious illness they have and are possibly
spreading. Can this school at least tell us what twenty percent
of the staff and student's symptoms are if they can't give us
any info of the actual illness. Twenty percent is a lot..can
they give us a diagnosis of what five percent of the twenty
percent of illnesses are?
Perhaps there will be a follow up report of this in the nearby
future as to what they are all suffering with... at least twenty
percent of them. I'd like to see some effort on their part.
There's about 182 students there ..20 percent of that is
aproximentally 36. So out of 36 students and some teachers not a
single one reports back to school saying my doctor says I got
such and such? Or here's a school with 182 kids and no nurses or
doctors that can even relay any source of info between students
and their Md's to report anything to the general public when at
least 36 of them inform us they feel sick? Gimmie a break that's
a a whole classroom of kids surely they can tell us what the
majority of illness is? That's 36 kids and teachers that keep
extensive papers and grades on one another..How can we not know
their illness as well as we know their grades?
Anyway to be fair lets do a time frame here and analyze the
situation and see what options students and teachers are given
under the circumstances many of them get mysteriously sick with
an as of yet undetermined illness or disease:
Okay, they found out they were sick on Monday and that they had
to cancel Tuesday so its Tuesday evening and so coworkers and
staff should surely know what a majority of their peers have in
terms of sickness by now. After all tomorrow is Wednesday and I
imagine school resumes? You see this is weird They close one day
and clean the rooms on that day and then teachers and students
return Wednesday and what was the illness? Do the teachers and
students know before they return to school tomorrow morning what
illness, disease or malady their peers had on Monday and is that
privy to the public? How do ya find these things out? Some
students and teachers might not want to go back to school right
away depending on the illness or diseases involved. Some might
think oh just a flu I'll go to school and risk that.. or it
might be covid and some students might think why risk a disease
like long covid!? maybe I'll try to work or do schoolwork from
home and play hooky and avoid a diseases with long term
repercussions! It would be nice to know what sort of options
insofar as working or studying from home are given to students
and teachers when 20 percent of them get sick with either an
illness or disease which is as of yet to be announced.
From my point of view to be fair to students and teachers I
really think schools need to be flexible and offer stay at home
options to both their teachers and students such as online
collaboration. Schools must be flexible because they are prone
and hit by outbreaks and schools just have to do something
different from when I was in school in pre pandemic days.
I just don't believe kids and teachers should have to feel
pressured to attend school in person and risk diseases in order
to stay in school and still get an education. In my opinion
Nowadays facing the challenges we do (like Covid)There just have
to be stay at home and study/teach options for those of us who
refuse to risk a disease for an education.
Think of it this way a day ago 20 percent of the people next to
you in a classroom were sick..you leave for a day and a janitor
I guess cleans the room real good then your asked to come back
to school in a classroom and learn about this and that and who
knows if the people next to you are sick or just coming down
with being sick and who knows if its covid or whooping cough...
that's just a big thing to make a little kid or teacher face.
Please excuse my speculation on the matter but the schools leave
me with such little information that speculation is all I have
left to make. Schools clearly have to upgrade, change policies,
and revolutionize in response to the pandemic just like airports
have changed since 9/11 terrerost threats. No one should fear
the threat of a disease or risk a disease for the sake of an
eduction.
I merely use this one school to open up these questions as to
what have schools done in the form of reform or changing their
procedures and practices since the pandemic began especially
since we now have a different set of tools to determine
illnesses and diseases such as test kits and wastewater tests,
etc. that we previously have not had in pre pandemic era and in
previous times? Schools hold the key to education for the masses
and schools have taken in and take care of the vast majority of
children and youth for many hours a day schooling them all under
the same roof and facilities so my questions as to what do
schools have in place to continue in these modern times when
there are outbreaks are good ones with the people's and the
public's best interest in mind.
I'd like to add in my hopefully little thought provoking
commentary that I am not targeting this school as an example for
it may very well be that this particular school in this news
story is actually doing something like cancelling the school for
illness while many other schools may not even be doing that or
being as responsible as this greater Cincinnati school. I ask
these questions and made the aforementioned comments in this
reply to all schools in general. How have things changed for
schools since the pandemic? Are there new things in place since
times have changed and we have become more understanding of
viruses? Are schools becoming more pandemic wary and pandemic
savvy and are they safer to attend than yesterday?
