I think majority of teachers will keep masking at least till spring break. There are many immunocompromised, pregnant or teachers with little ones at home. My teammate and I just discussed and we both plan on masking for a little while longer.

+1, I’m not risking my spring break travel. So my kids will make until then as will I when I am around students.

So you think masks actually work? Lol.

This is such a strange statement. They have always said they are following the guidance of the CDC and the CDC changed the guidance. It is totally consistent. Now the problem is that chap’s bill prevents them from mandating masks in the future when there is a need. The CDC guidance makes clear that they may become necessary again when do conditions change but Virginia took that important tool away from all districts. It was a really stupid law.

This makes no sense.

FCPS begrudgingly acknowledged the law. After saying universal masking was popular and heh hoped people would continue. Now suddenly it’s ok! Lol.

It will be interesting to see this week. Some of us were just texting about it and judging from what people were saying Friday at an after school gathering, I have the sense many will drop the masks, at least at our school.

Might students with parents who want them masked start to unmask because they see us without one? That’s something people were wondering, but we don’t want to police it.

It’s okay because, for the 100th time, the CDC changed its guidance. They’ve always said they were obligated to follow it per SB 1303. Still confused by the LOL. Then again, I wonder if you’re the kind the person who laughs when someone trips and falls.

Yeah proper masks work. Do you have studies showing otherwise? I understanding saying we no longer need masks. But that’s different than saying surgical masks and N 94/95s don’t work.

They were still obligated to comply with the state law before the CDC changed their guidance. They are happy CDC changed their guidance because it makes it look as if it was their decision, when in reality they had no choice but taco comply with the law.

Shhh it doesn’t compute on their simple little bird brains. Must hate FCPS no matter what. It’s comical at this point.

It’s not good enough when the Gov says it - but miraculously it’s ok when the CDC says it.
The CDC should have said it sooner. Luckily the Govs forced their hand.

Completely asinine. CDC changes how it calculates transmission levels and all of a sudden we are low when it is just as high as ever.

I will keep masking as will my child, and most of the other teachers I know.

The gov isn't a health agency. VDH is, FCDH is, the CDC is.

Who do you want to take health advice from?

Have you looked at hospitalization rates locally and in the area?

Yes, well fitting N95 and KF94 masks work. Which is why I and my family have not had COVID despite working at a school with lots of infected staff and students. Masks work and I will keep masking.
