What does weather have to do with it? They still have school inside (and largely unmasked). Over the summer, the doomsayers on this board said that MCPS should have been brought to its knees by now. I know it's frustrating for them that they haven't got the Armageddon they're seeking.

We don't have accurate numbers as this is all self reporting. This is why we need regular testing.

How would that change anything?

It probably wouldn't but I'd like to know to know if its safe for my kids to return in person.

At what point would you keep your kids home?

They are already home. Not everyone choose to return right away.

Your kids are home going on three years? Unless you have truly remarkable circumstances at home, you're doing them an enormous disservice.

I have a neighbor who has kept her children home from in-person school all this time. I agree that she is doing her kids a disservice, but she claims to be immune compromised and wants to keep herself ‘safe’. The kids have no health issues.

The kids having no health issues means nothing as they can bring home covid to her. She is doing the right thing for her family.

Why do you care? You are desperate to kill or disable this parent. Does that make you feel superior?

Not really. She’s doing the right thing for herself. Definitely a bit selfish, especially now that we know how bad the isolation has been for our kids’ menarl health.

You gave them their childhood, and you robbed them of it. You’ve come full circle.

We saw what happened to students who’ve brought it home to medically vulnerable loved ones.

We’re getting very close to a point where Child Welfare Services should get involved in such cases to consider the best interests of the children and look for signs of neglect or physical/emotional abuse.

"Repeatedly catching Covid-19 appears to increase the chances that a person will face new and sometimes lasting health problems after their infection, according to the first study on the health risks of reinfection."

"They also had higher risks for lung and heart problems, fatigue, digestive and kidney disorders, diabetes and neurologic problems."

"If you asked me about reinfection maybe a year and a half ago, I would tell you that maybe I have a patient here or there, but it's really, really rare," Al-Aly said. That's not true anymore, though."

"Common new diagnoses after reinfections included chest pain, abnormal heart rhythms, heart attacks, inflammation of the heart muscle or the sac around the heart, heart failure and blood clots. Common lung issues included shortness of breath, low blood oxygen, lung disease, and accumulation of fluid around the lungs"

You’re describing a study that was based on data from primarily unvaccinated, obese veterans over age 60 taking an average of 15 unique medications. This is not even remotely generalizable.

What does weather have to do with it? They still have school inside (and largely unmasked). Over the summer, the doomsayers on this board said that MCPS should have been brought to its knees by now. I know it's frustrating for them that they haven't got the Armageddon they're seeking.

We don't have accurate numbers as this is all self reporting. This is why we need regular testing.

How would that change anything?

It probably wouldn't but I'd like to know to know if its safe for my kids to return in person.

At what point would you keep your kids home?

They are already home. Not everyone choose to return right away.

Your kids are home going on three years? Unless you have truly remarkable circumstances at home, you're doing them an enormous disservice.

I have a neighbor who has kept her children home from in-person school all this time. I agree that she is doing her kids a disservice, but she claims to be immune compromised and wants to keep herself ‘safe’. The kids have no health issues.

We’re getting very close to a point where Child Welfare Services should get involved in such cases to consider the best interests of the children and look for signs of neglect or physical/emotional abuse.

Oh honey, that is not abuse or neglect and you clearly don’t get it.

Isolating your kids from others on a long-term basis is absolutely a form of abuse.

It really is. It's not something that Child Welfare is going to focus on, but keeping kids away from in-person school/general public life for going on three years (and presumably beyond) is awful, selfish behavior. Honey.
