This data is from 5/5/22. There have been 1457 active infections at MCPS within the last 10 days. This is 28 more than the day before, however that is only because of a drop off caused by aging cases within the 10 day moving window. 172 new student cases and 19 staff cases were reported. Of 209 schools in MCPS, 50 (24%) are improving, 104 (50%) are steady, and 55 (26%) are getting worse.
Thurgood Marshall ES is at 6.6%, seven schools are above 3%, and 26 schools are at 2% or higher. Thurgood Marshall ES did not report additional infections, so appears stable, with the caveat these are only cases reported to MCPS as covid and it's unknown if new cases are replacing cases moving out of the 10-day moving window.

| Cool. And covid hospitalizations in kids are stable at 1-2 per day across the entire state. We did it! The pandemic is over in Maryland is over. This is what endemic looks like. |
Maybe you’re good with this quality of life; my standards are higher. |
| Who cares? |
I agree, but at this point covid isn’t the reason we’re keeping up silly restrictions. Luckily every day more and more people realize we don’t need to be afraid anymore. |
Not even close to reality. How high are you tonight? |
+1, there is more to covid than just this. Lets talk about kids who brought covid home to their parents and then lost their parents. 40K kids in this country alone. That surely cannot be good for their mental health. https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/05/health/parental-deaths-covid-19-wellness/index.html |
And we all know that parents have never died of anything besides covid. And that child->parent is the only covid transmission route. Covid risk blends into the background noise if you're vaccinated and boosted. Or a child, regardless of vaccination status. |
Actually it doesn't just blend in if you are vaaccinanted and boosted and its pathetic that you are using that to justify your poor attitude. |
For the 18-50 age group, weekly mortality rates from covid are about 0.01 per 100,000 in boosted individuals. 1 in 10 million blends into the background. |
For some of us, it’s not just about dying but you cannot seem to understand that. |
Well, I agree with you there. I don’t understand why you’re so concerned about getting what would likely be about as serious as a cold or flu infection (assuming you’re vaccinated and boosted). Particularly when there’s nothing that can practically be done to avoid exposure while being part of society. |
Ready to learn? There is a lot that can be done to prevent catching covid. Why be concerned about catching this virus? Because catching it, spreads it and allows it to keep mutating. The mutations are getting worse. If you love gifting your children a plague, don’t do anything to prevent transmission of covid. Don’t send your children to school because they might take science and learn you are an idiot. |
Um. That's a false statement / fake news. https://www.healthsystemtracker.org/brief/covid-19-leading-cause-of-death-ranking/#Average%20daily%20deaths%20in%20the%20United%20States,%20by%20cause%20(March%202020%20-%20February%202022)%C2%A0%C2%A0 In terms of leading causes of death in the U.S., as of Jan 2022, covid surpassed cancer, accidents, stroke, respiratory disease, alzheimer, and diabetes. Only heart disease killed more people (and covid wasn't that far behind). If you're trying to make a point, do it as an opinion without lying. |
As you’ve clearly seen from the last two years, covid transmission mitigation measures can slow down the spread, but certainly can’t come close to stopping it. We still don't have good data on mask efficacy, although a 25% reduction would be a generous estimate. There's nearly no direct data on physical distancing or ventilation-- just models. We know a lot of infectious cases are either never identified or only identified after they've exposed others. And so, despite doing various combinations of those things at a level that is not sustainable, we still have spread higher than you're comfortable with. Controlling transmission is not how we keep covid under control. Keeping the severity of illnesses low, and having therapeutic treatments available to high-risk individuals when (not if) they become infected, is the only practical option. |
