The school absenteeism is a real concern. This is a subjection opinion. After the isolation of home schooling, my DIL said her children and the children in their schools are getting more strep, more URI, etc since they are back to school. Sort of like they did the first 3-5 years of being with other kids on a daily basis. Hopefully this ends soon as the immune systems kick in.
My grandchildren have not yet had one remote day of school for snow. They still build in 4 days and this year they haven't used four. Maybe if they used all four school would try to go remote for the overage.
Huh, the idea of missing more days for illness because of less immunity never occurred to me. (Also parents are probably more likely to keep kids home with mild illnesses now - another trend that could have gone on the chart I suppose - but that may even out if it also causes less transmission of those illnesses.)
Hard to believe it could be the main factor causing the level of absenteeism we've seen - especially after 3-4 years - but if so it would be encouraging in a way because it should revert naturally.
