There aren't enough in many cases. MCPS isn't a 1-1 system across the board.

Plan A.
Bill Gates loves schools, he will lift a sofa cushion, scrap the change and in one handful he can provide enough chrome books for all disadvantage students.

Plan B..
Every kid has a phone, EVERY KID,
May we legislate the tax break for Verizon and the likes to give free plans for kids in needs!

Plan C
Lets use lokal tv channels to adnMinister classes on the air. One teacher can teach thousands the same lesson. Kids do paperwork at home and via email.

The death rate of 0.2% for the 9-19 year age group is only for reported cases, not the entire population. It excludes those who do not get it or who are not diagnosed as they only develop mild symptoms. The following opinions from various experts may be a little reassuring.

The mortality in the 0 to 9 years old is zero.
The mortality in the age group 9 to 19 is NOT ZERO, it is 0.2 %... that is not nothing.. that is 2 people in 1000.

Let me bring it home for you:

MCPS has how many students?: 162,680

With this in mind.. remember 2 kids in one thousand would die.. potentially.. So if we have 162 thousands students..
and all or the most vulnerable will get sick then potentially the loss of life can be as great as 324.

Considering all children with immune issues, I am pretty sure you will easily find 324 kids needing nebulizer. It is
not that all kids will get sick but chances are the ones with already underlying problems might.

So NOT zero but 324 children's lives are at stake..

Whoever tells you there is no risks.. kindly share the table:..



WHO CDC and other institutions supporting this data site and providing all the info that is in the cited source:

so you're saying......there's a chance to reduce some overcrowding?

Not funny.

Yeah, let's not joke about kids dying.

Bad juju.

Yes, it is awful. The scary part is his ordeal was “mild”. Those with severe symptoms end up in the ICU.

Thanks for this link.

Hot tip: unless you’re in a public place and worried about spewing germs everywhere: DO NOT TRY TO SUPPRESS A COUGH if you can cough up phlegm or mucus. Sorry for the all-caps but leaving junk in your lungs can lead to pneumonia, in the case of any bronchial infection. In the hospital after surgery they give you these breathing things to get your lungs to full capacity. Once I had pre-pneumonia junk in my lungs and the nurses made me use that thing a lot (sorry I forget the name). It hurt like hell because I had just had major abdominal surgery. But I coughed it all up and I was no longer trending toward pneumonia.

Not saying this is a sure way to prevent pneumonia but people should know that suppressing coughs an be really bad.

And now add smoking and vaping in US in the exact group.. your stats will go through the roof. Kids in other countries do not vape like chimneys..

There are enough for the kids who don't have a pc at home. We have 2 macbooks, a chromebook, a windows laptop, and a desktop for a family of 4.

If so, there could be other people in our area or other places in the US who caught it on the ship. IF not, please say where the MD people were so we can put that to rest for now.

And tell us what happened to the passengers that disembarked in SF and left CA. CA is tracking down the Californians. Who is tracking the others?

That is what I surmise. Last night MD officials said CDC reached out to Maryland to test these people. And on NPR this morning they said CDC was reaching out to all folks who were on that ship.

Plan A.
Bill Gates loves schools, he will lift a sofa cushion, scrap the change and in one handful he can provide enough chrome books for all disadvantage students.

Plan B..
Every kid has a phone, EVERY KID,
May we legislate the tax break for Verizon and the likes to give free plans for kids in needs!

Plan C
Lets use lokal tv channels to adnMinister classes on the air. One teacher can teach thousands the same lesson. Kids do paperwork at home and via email.

I LOVE this plan. It's sensibke, easy to imp!emwnt, cost effecfive. Or even private you tube links. We should have this as an emergency disaster plan regardless like a tel eschool framework policy.

Cute that you think every kid has a smart phone. Most poor kids don’t or they have extremely limited data plans. How does it help avoid community spread if the kids from the apartments around Kennedy HS are all clustered at McDonald’s trying to use the free WiFi?

They probably went to church and shook hands with hundreds of people. They probably went to Giant (or COSTCO or both). The disease is probably in the wild here now with no way to stop it. They almost certainly went to the store after getting back from a two week cruise. People infected take 1-2 weeks to show symptoms. That means people that caught it from them might only now be showing symptoms and if they caught my towards the end of last month we won’t know for another two weeks. Plus those people are infecting others. It’s uncontainable. That said, the numbers should be low right now. In another 3 or 4 weeks it could be thousands.

Knowing the US we won’t try to slow the spread until the hospitals are full and people are dying from lack of care. Those will be PREVENTABLE deaths. Preventable by taking step now.
