| Looks like a lot of schools at or below 1%. When will you hang it up OP? What will you do with your life on June 17 to August 29. |
OP. Relax knowing that my children's health is in my hands and not those of the MCPS Central Office. |

between 2 per cent and 10 per cent of infected children will develop long COVID, but the number may be larger. In March, a preprint study, not peer-reviewed, pooled data from 21 studies previously carried out in Europe, Asia, Australia and South America to show that one in four children go on to develop long COVID. Although adults have a definite set of symptoms, including breathlessness and fatigue, the symptoms in children are not clear. Some kids present conditions such as fatigue, brain fog and severe headaches, "to the point where some aren't able to go to school, grades are failing, those types of issues", Tejtel said. They also present cardiac issues like heart palpitations, chest pains and dizziness, especially when they go back to their regular activities; stomach problems; and also a change in their sense of taste and smell. "It's startling how many of these children present and have a range of symptoms that we haven't fully appreciated. Some are coming in with heart failure after asymptomatic COVID-19 infections," Dr Jeffrey Kahn, chief of the Division of Pediatric Infectious Disease at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, was quoted as saying. "What's striking to me is that it usually occurs about four weeks after infection, and infection can be really asymptomatic, which is really startling," he added. Further, the report noted experts were saying that even when kids with long COVID are tested for ailments that might cause these symptoms, nothing may show up, and all the tests come back normal. "We also scoped them, and their GI tracts are normal. I do a big immune workup, and their immune system appears normal. Everything 'looks normal,' but the kids aren't functioning like normal," Dr Amy Edwards, who runs the paediatric long COVID clinic at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital in Cleveland, was quoted as saying. |
In that case, knowing that pediatric hospitalizations are still trending downward should make you feel better. Case counts don’t matter. |
Don't worry.. most of central office is out with covid. |
Hospitalizations is only one worry. That doesn't make me feel better. It makes me think you don't understand how this virus can impact children and their families when it spreads like wildfire through schools. If you don't mind getting covid, great, but it would be nice if you'd keep it contained in your house and not spread it to other homes. And, kids can bring home covid to their parents so its not as simple as just looking at pediatric hospitalizations. Are you really that clueless? |
Yes, they really are that clueless, and willfully so. |
Cases are trending up, way up....Except for January, we are at the highest number of cases for any month and we are less than half way through the month. |
Okay, when do your kids graduate? Will you still be providing daily reports up until then? Because this is our new reality, "bad behavior" or not. |
I'm not providing the daily reports but my children don't graduate for a long time. But, there is something off with you if all you care about are hospitalizations and not having you or your kids get sick for a week or two and then miss school due to being sick. Or, worse, them spreading it to someone in a situation where they dont have the luxury to stay home as if they do, they don't have sick leave and they live pay check to pay check - you know, people like your housekeeper. |
It doesn't matter what I (at an individual level) care about. The virus can't be controlled. China is barely keeping on top of it and will lose control the minute they allow for the slightest bit of freedom. You're going to be playing cat & mouse tracking this virus for the rest of your natural life if this is the way you're going to play it. |
Your attitude of "no one can do anything so I will spread more covid" is defeatist, short sighted and giving your family organ damage. I think you just can't live with what you've already done to your kids. |
I think you're hopelessly naive. |
Actually it can be controlled by proper mitigation but it takes everyone to do it. If you are not part of the solution, you are teh problem. |
