Sure. That means voting for more deaths: more deaths from Covid, more deaths from firearms, and more deaths from women desperately getting back-alley abortions.

So, go ahead, murderer.

Oh FFS. Not to derail this thread but maybe the insane increase in homicides in cities run by progressives/with progressive DAs should give you pause when you call someone a murderer for their political views.

This is exactly why schools won’t close. Kids are not getting seriously ill or ending up in the hospital, and all school age kids are eligible to be vaccinated. Parents would raise holy hell if schools were to close, see VA and new Governor Youngkin.

Schools will not close because of elections/politics. It doesn't matter what is in the kids best interests. Those kids will bring home covid to their parents and community. Its not as simple as saying its just about kids.

If you have a kid attending school you are well aware of the risk they could bring it home to you. Most of us are more than ok with the cost/benefit analysis of this, particularly given the protection of being fully vaxxed and boostered. The idea that kids are just spreading Covid through the community is not supported by any evidence. Like kids are roaming malls unmasked or something? Where in MoCo are kids roaming the community spreading Covid? If they are spreading it, they are spreading it to each other becuase they are hanging with friends/playing sports unmasked.

Kids are spreading Covid through the community by getting infected at school and passing it along to their families at home, who then pass it on at work and elsewhere. Surely you can grasp the concept of community transmission? Schools, college campuses, prisons and other very large group homes, are accelerators of viral spread because they crowd a lot of people in one building, more than the average workplace, even meat processing plants and warehouses.

The kids aren’t necessarily getting it at school. My kid was in quarantine because their teacher got Covid and not a single kid in that teacher’s classes has tested positive for Covid. They are getting it from hanging out together unmasked outside of school. Closing schools isn’t going to curtail that. And again our kids spent over a year out of school to protect others in the community, and the return to school has shown the significant impacts that had on kids’ social and educational development. It is not politically palatable to shut schools again when school age kids are eligible to be vaccinated.

You don't understand the mechanics of viral spread. Hanging out in small groups isn't the driving force behind a surge. Large events are. Crowded buildings full of people most certainly are. I know it's not what you want to hear, but it's true. That's why any large group situation is in the crosshairs when hospitals gets saturated because they are big factors in the spread. And their vaccination status only serves to ride out small waves of Covid, like the one we had in September in our area, but perhaps not a dual Delta/Omicron spike like the one we're having right now. The 5-11 set might be freshly vaccinated, but some older kids are out more than 6 months from their shots, like a lot of adults who have delayed their boosters, and all these people are at heightened risk of catching and spreading both Delta and Omicron.

Albeit not local, Duke Hospital reported yesterday that 86% hospitalized with COVID are unvaccinated, 96% of COVID patients in ICU are unvaccinated, and 100% of patients on assisted breathing are unvaccinated.

This is a crisis of the unvaxxed. Get the damn vaccine!

Sigh. We've explained it to you already. The unvaccinated are the low-lying fruit, and the first to go. Then Delta hits the poorly vaccinated, and the ones who cannot produce enough antibodies, like the immunosuppressed.
In other words, in a highly vaccinated area, there will be few unvaccinated people taking up beds - and those that do will eventually be replaced by vaccinated but fragile people.

You are incorrect to believe that as a recently boostered and healthy person, you are not at personal risk. Spreading the virus to your community contributes to hospital saturation - and you won't just doom unvaccinated individuals. You will doom some medical fragile folks, and if hospitals are turning away patients, you might just doom yourself when you come in with injuries from a car accident, or a stroke. Your life and that of your loved ones could also be on the line.

I look forward to data supporting your statement.

The schools with big outbreaks are passing it in areas where kids are congregating unmasked which is locker rooms, courts and non distanced lunches.
Look at the high schools that allow students to leave for lunch. Their breakout rates are low.

One child gets Covid and brings in in. That’s all it takes.

In mcps and moco, we have a very high vaccination rate. Denial must be wonderful.

So, why are we having outbreaks at school.
