That’s not what you want to be looking at. You want to be looking at capacity. 2.4% of a gigantic number is a really big deal.

Which is hard to believe because I know people who began symptoms 6-8 days into quarantine. One even had a negative rapid on day 5. If they ended their quarantine on day 5 they would’ve been infecting people around them smh.

This isn't about quarantine; the PP used the wrong term. It's about the isolation period after testing positive but remaining asymptomatic.

They might have had a second contact

People. It's a numbers game. If there aren't enough teachers and subs, there's nothing anyone can do about it. You can rant and rave all you want, accuse everyone and his mother, but it won't change the numbers of the ground.

Of course you're going to say: "Teachers gathered during the Holidays, they shouldn't have!" or "Teachers are malingering, they're pretending to be positive!" or whatever weak sauce your silly brains will come up with.

It will always be someone's fault. It can't just be the fact that DC has a stunning, STUPENDOUS, spike of cases right now that dwarfs not only its own history of spikes, but all other states's history of spikes. Here is the latest number of 7 day running average Covid cases per 100K:

And it will fall just as fast as it rose

Sure if it falls Jan 5 let’s open. If not we need it to be back to how it was, look at it on a week by week basis.

Those who are boosted don't need to quarantine at all.

The CDC just announced that if you have covid and are asymptomatic and vaccinated you only have to isolate for 5 days and wear a mask for an additional 5 days. If you are symptomatic you need to keep isolating.


If you are vaxxed you don't need to quarantine if you are a close contact to a positive case.

These are 2 entirely different things.

DCPS was already not requiring vaccinated asymptomatic staff or students to quarantine if a close contact.

I emailed the mayor's office and chancellor's office earlier today to express my hope that school remains in-person. I heard back from the mayor's office stating that the mayor is committed to maintaining in-person school.

That’s their stock email that they have been sending since the summer.

Baltimore county just declare state of emergency based on lack of icu beds. Multiple DC hospitals just started diverting patients today. Remember that hospitalizations lag cases and we have had a LOT of cases (~10,000 more in the past 4 days).

Again, source? A lot of people just talk out of their buttholes here, so please tell me where you are seeing this.

NP. It would really be useful if everyone learned the difference between quarantine and isolation to avoid this kind of confusion.
