Oh FFS. Kids under 12 are not at serious risk from COVID! Have your kid wear a mask and move on. If nothing else, that will reduce the viral load of any SARS-CoV2 floating around, and they'll be even less likely to get sick. -Mom of three kids under 12 |
The 28th. |
Public transit still has a mandate. Vaccines worked. The level of COVID is extremely low, so other people’s vaccines will protect you. This is Public Health 101. |
Including school? |
| Unless you work for a business that has guidance to wear a mask on their premises. |
You need to ask yourself why you want to continue to wallow in misery. |
What? You know some f’d up people. I’m thrilled. So is husband. We both got vaccinated in April. |
I don't get why you put mom to three. Most mom's to three are pretty checked out and stopped caring, like you. Its good you have spare kids just incase one gets/dies of covid but for the rest of us with less kids, its an issue. You can minimize covid but you are why many of us don't feel safe. Mine will not be going anywhere indoors, seeing friends or family or much else because many people lack good judgement and don't care who they put at risk, like you. |
Vaccines help. They are not a fix. No other people's vaccines will not protect you. This vaccine was created to protect you, not others. This is covid vaccine 101. |
I lol'd! Seriously though, 50% of the county got both shots and 60% got at least one shot. Combine with people that caught COVID and are better, we are probably at or close to herd immunity which could be as low as 70%. |

Other interesting statistics. Nearly 25% of eligible 12-15 year olds got the first COVID shot in the first four days they were allowed. Only 26 new COVID cases in MoCo.
As of Monday morning, about 9,000 of the eligible 40,000 children in the group had received a shot, according to Dr. Raymond Crowel, director of the county Department of Health and Human Services. https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/coronavirus/about-9000-in-montgomery-county-age-12-to-15-have-received-covid-19-vaccine/ https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/coronavirus/covid-19-positivity-rate-in-montgomery-county-has-been-below-2-for-most-of-month/ |
Well, its basically gone already. How many active cases do we have in the county of 1.1 million? 200-300 hundred? |
Ahh...you see, that's the problem. You feeling safe, and you being safe, are two entirely different things. Last year, we were all responsible for each other to be safe. But now, we are safe. Your neighbors may are not responsible for you FEELING safe. Your irrational feelings are your own problem |
Time to move on. If you are unvaccinated, have health issues, are obese, and want to risk your health going unmasked - go for it. The rest of us who care about our health and those of others are vaccinated and moving on. |
Wow, PP. Please tell us about this. Were you personally studied by medical researchers, who found that your immune system did not mount a response? |
