You just stated exactly why people are moving on. No matter what we do, Covid isn't going away. Some of the mitigations we try are like bringing a bucket onto the titantic. Covid is here. It's not going away. We can't stop living for YEARS when those restrictions don't really do anything to stop the spread |
You can't control covid with parent behavior. It's done. If you choose to not have your child participate in the world, just prepare them for the everlasting nature of your decision. |
You absolutely can control covid with behavior. Look at how other countries are. I will continue to keep my kids safe and covid free. They understand the severity of covid and are decent people. You should try raising your kids to be decent people by setting a good example. Its funny as so many scream it takes a village to raise kids but when the village needs to come together the village is no longer and its every person to themselves (except for the carpool and babysitting demands but those who demand a village as its free child care but never actually return the support). |
Hundreds of thousands of people in MoCo have no kids in the school system and no vested interest what happens there. Covid is controlled enough here. Tighter restrictions aren't worth it and are futile long-term anyway. Go ahead and continue to isolate your kids. Nobody GAF. |
You can reduce the risk, but you can't eliminate the risk. Sometimes bad things happen to good people. Sometimes good things happen to bad people! |
No, they don't but as parents, we can help stop the spread within our kids. You will find any excuse to justify your poor behavior that puts our kids at risk. You don't care, not even about your own kids. |
Actually, we could come close to eliminating the risk. But, that village really isn't a village and only cares about what that village will do for them, so its going to spread and mutate. |
How can we come close to eliminating risk in MoCo? What's your plan that nobody else has thought of? |
Behavior. |
How do you get more appropriate behavior from those who refuse to behave? |
Shame them on Facebook. But really if you want schools, you gotta shit everything else down until the delta wave subsides. Can’t have everything. |
Looks like it's already subsiding, without shutting schools or other things down. |
We have schools. Despite MCPS's overzealousness with quarantines, most kids are still in-person. But anyway, that's why nobody takes your type of posts seriously. How are you going to pay for everything being shut down? What shutdown exceptions are you going to make? How are you going to enforce it? Infection rates are already so low in MoCo...so how much are you going to incrementally accomplish by locking people away? |

Schools are open, and we should be pushing ways to limit the amount of time kids have to quarantine based on testing and vaccination status.
My kid has been quarantined because a kid in his class was asymptomatic but got a positive PCR, followed by a negative PCR. Yet the school is following the positive test and everyone is out for 10 days. My kid got a negative PCR 5 days after exposure. They should have been able to come back to school with a negative test 5 days after exposure, like the CDC recommends. |
