Boerne had the same issue. Too many people getting quarantined, none of them getting sick. Boerne just announced a change as of Oct 1. Masks now matter so few will get quarantined. However, we traded one stupid protocol for another. Now a kid will have to stay home 24 days if someone in their house is positive. This has already occurred, and yet its still hasn't spread in school, but now they have to stay home 24 days? I question Region 8's authority to require this length of time.
And, someone from TDHS called my buddy yesterday asking about his daughter as she was quarantined. He wouldn't answer any questions as they wouldn't tell him how he got his daughters name and info. His assumption is the school provided her information to TDHS.
