More than 260 employees in Georgia’s largest school district have either tested positive for or been exposed to COVID-19 after beginning in-person planning for the upcoming school year.

Gwinnett County Public Schools (GCPS) spokesperson Sloan Roach told NowThis on Monday that teachers returned to work last Wednesday; by Thursday, 260 teachers were “excluded from work due to a positive case or contact with a case.”

Roach also said the district learned through contact tracing that a “majority” of those reported cases are a result of “community spread.”

The Atlanta-area district operates 141 schools and serves more than 180,000 students. The district’s Superintendent J. Alvin Wilbanks announced last month that it will begin the school year virtually on August 12.

1. That's Confusing

"Or exposed"?
I'm not sure I understand what that means.
They were in the same building?
The same room?
Extended periods with unmasked infected people?
It's a but nebulous to determine how bad this 260 value is, or is not.

2. I think the fact they can't figure out what to do with 260 people impacted is indicative.

How do they identify people "exposed"? What metrics are they using? What's the plan?

3. Right!

That's why I'm confused.
You're asking questions. I'm asking questions.
All we have is a number.
Hence, the confusion!

He might as well say that because it already seems like he is saying it using different words.
