The MD's are the doctors seeing covid patients right now. They are seeing the spread and illness. Your Ph.D. means nothing, especially if you are not in a medical profession.

What happens when all the covid cases go to the doctor/urgent care and spread it to the doctors who then cannot work?

It’s interesting that someone who claims to be an MD on an anonymous forum feels threatened that they have to discredit a microscopist and PhDs which is the degree held by most scientists.

The MD also doesn’t state their specialty. I would take the professional scientific opinion of a “microscopist” on the latest science around Covid before I would listen to an optometrist.

Relax, people. My husband is a virologist and has, in times of stress, put down other medical specialties. EXPERTS ARE STRESSED TOO. Stop expecting your medical doctors and research scientists to be perfect all the time.

(Yes, DH thinks schools should close as well, but that's obvious.)

How does your dear hubs feel about bar-t because if schools close bar-t will be open for parents like me who need to work in person. I guess somehow if I’m paying $1200 a month for the pleasure of entering the school building it makes it safe. Pound sand. I hate this county so much. I’m actually visiting family in the Chicago suburbs and NOONE thinks schools should or will close.

That's because omicron hasn't hit CHICAGOOOOOOO like it has hit the east coast. Give them a few weeks to catch up and check back.

Another MD (Harvard here, I noticed other people questioning peoples with credentials with the pedantic “are you FrOM TrUMP university” like it’s edgy… nah, I’m just actually a trained medical doctor.) The county is being held hostage by an alcoholic mocked on the Trevor Noah show, some PhDS who care more about their prime time career than actually taking care of anyone, and a few other people who hold their think they are knowledgeable but they obviously aren’t. What did hawking say again? The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge. The fact these people kee doubling down like they have any clue what they are talking about is deeply troubling.

Optometrists aren't MDs. Ophthalmologists are the real doctors.

It’s winter break. Schools are closed and so is central office. What chaos is there in closed schools?

My "dear hubs" has a lot of sympathy for people's childcare issues, but his recommendations are purely based on saving lives. Part of his job is to calculate and predict surges, impact on hospitalizations and mortality. Right now, he's more worried about you dying from sepsis or a heart attack or a car accident because there are no staffed beds for you, rather than your good self, alive and well, stressing about childcare. He would rather have you alive and spitting fire than you with a negative outcome and a lesson learned (too late).

There are plenty of cases but nobody is worried. It’s refreshing. A sort of “well I vaccinated my kids and did what I could. Larla’s friend has covid so she’ll probably get it eventually too. You guys doing winter tumbling?”

Tell him I can take care of myself. Turn the unvaccinated by choice away or put them in medical tents staffed by students or prisoners. Then they’ll be plenty of beds for me. Also, tell him to stay in his lane. Schools will stay open.

Another MD here, who also holds a PhD and is a microscopist. I don’t think you understand what a microscopist is. What kind of MD are you? Are you an infectious disease specialist? You being an MD does not automatically qualify you to speak about any of it. I smell your baloney a mile away.

Vaccinated are getting it large numbers so if you get it vaccinated we should just deny you care as it was your fault you got it.

If people want schools open, they need to make choices to have it happen. Stop talking through t your husband. It’s getting old.

I will not need the hospital. I’m boosted. 35. Healthy. I have better odds of winning the Maryland lotto than being hospitalized with covid. Go away.

No, plenty of cases is not what is happening on the East Coast. Covid cases have skyrocketed multiple times beyond any previous surges. Clearly Chicago parents have brain freeze.
