I'm confused. I think these are the TOTAL OF NEW CASES FOR THAT DAY, not the rate per 100k. That's a big difference. Over a million people live in Fairfax.

According to the VDH Dashboard it is the “Total number of new cases per 100,000 persons within the last 14 days”.

So many people still do not understand how metrics work, it’s scary

Not only that but people don’t seem to realize lcps k-2 has been in school for about 2 months. They are doing very well.

Yes, I didn't realize. Wow. Impressive!

It has not been 2 months lol. They started October 27.

No pause in phasing unless it’s 200/100,000 average AND 10% PPR. Both.

If this happens during hybrid, it has to sit there for 5 straight school days before they transition.

If a revert to DL happens, hybrid can’t resume until they’re both under those thresholds for 5 straight days. Yet, we are currently phasing kids in when our average is 314/100,000 so logically there’s some holes. You can GO in with one elevated but you can’t go BACK in with one elevated.

Can someone just tell me if ALL kids in each grade are returning or are these just pilot programs for a tiny minority for each grade. I'm in FCPS and only some kids in a pilot program so super minority of kids in kindergarten and such got to go in, before they shut the non pilot kindergarteners down.

I'm asking because FCPS has been so disappointing that I'm seriously considering moving over to LCPS.

Its anyone who chose hybrid. A choice was made in summer for semester 1. Another choice was just made recently for semester 2 (which begins Jan 21.) If you moved to LCPS, you would be allowed to choose when you enrolled in school. K-5 are back now, 6-12 will go back Jan 21 or if metrics go up they will go back as soon as metrics drop below the threshold for 5 days.

Wait, are you saying that the numbers are fine, that they’re the same or better than August?

August 15: 115 cases per 100K 5.3% positivity

December 1: 314 cases per 100K 7.9% positivity

I live next to an elementary in Loudoun and it was so wonderful to see kids and parents coming and going again.

No, I'm saying the people pushing to close now were pushing to remain closed then too, and in fact don't want kids in school at all this year. They are lying liars who lie and just keep changing their excuses as needed.

No you argued the numbers weren’t going up because “they’re always going up in 2 weeks.” You’re just talking in circles. They’re up, you don’t care, you want kids in, but your arguments are not honest and are in bad faith.

Will you feel the same when you find out that a kid or a parent got infected and is facing lifelong health issues?

DP. My kids are supposed to go in tomorrow (I’m not happy about it but can’t choose it based on my job). We got the notice today a teacher is positive at their school.

Sure, I will. A lot of kids will tremendously benefit when they go back.

Do you expect no positives any time in the foreseeable future? Even after vaccines there will still be Covid cases. It will happen.

The liklihood of that teacher having spread it at school is very very low.

I am not worried about that. I’m worried about the human being who is sick. These people care for my kids. They showed up to do this. And one is sick. That... doesn’t bother you guys? The idea of trusted wonderful people who care for your kids getting this?

Of course we are concern for the person. I think people are referencing how it might have spread. And the liklihood that the teacher either got it in school or spread it in school.

How is 5 weeks "about 2 months"?

5 weeks is long enough for the doomsday scenario to have begun and it...hasn’t.

Okay but say 5 weeks or 1 month. Saying 2 months when it has been 5 weeks while complaining people don't understand epidemic metrics is a bit ironic.
