Masks optional by spring break

[Anonymous]

I think this is a reasonable goal given our vaccination rates, decline of omicron, success of mask optional schools in neighboring Virginia, announcement from the archdiocese of Arlington… there is so much data to support this too.

What do you think?

Why? I’ve been pleasantly surprised by MCPS covid policies so far. My friends kids in private have much stricter rules.

I don’t care about other school districts. I live in MoCo. But seeing what’s happening in VA makes me excited. Let’s goooooo, MCPS! Normalcy for kids is long overdue!!

I think you only care about yourself and even that is questionable.

I care deeply about my kids who’ve suffered enough. Kindergartners shouldn’t have been masked in the first place in my (unpopular) opinion. But now that we have vaccines! Hospitalizations are low. Cases numbers are declining. Let’s do this! Other children can still mask if they want to.

I would love for this to be the case but MCPS and the elected “officials” do not answer to you, just to their union overlords. I think they will try to keep masks until the end of the year. What will really be a sh—show is when they try to advocate masks for fall 2022 despite low cases and people go nuts.

1800 Americans died yesterday.

About 8000 Americans die every day. What’s your point?

I'm pretty Covid-conservative and I agree with OP. As case numbers decline and the weather warms, making it easier to ventile well and easier to get get outside, we should relax restrictions.

If things don't improve or get worse -- they can always get worse! -- we can mask right back up.

But moving forward, we should relax when we can, seek to moderate our positions, stay flexible, and prepare for the next set of challenges. Who knows what the future has in store.

As a medical worker who has had two fully vaxed and boosted coworkers catch Omicron - please keep masks on. I would rather see kids in schools with masks then a rise of Covid cases and schools closed. Immunity from Covid is a very fleeting thing.

It's so funny that its only the PARENTS who cant handle masks. The kids are just fine. It's the adults who long for "normalcy" (whatever that even means), because they are the ones who cant adapt to change. Ridiculous.
