Is it time to have the difficult conversation about masks and MCPS?

Yep. Even among old people and people with health conditions, the vaccine is very effective at reducing the chance of hospitalization or death from covid. It's just less effective among old people/people with health conditions than among younger people/people without health conditions. But that's not surprising, because old people/people with health conditions are more vulnerable to ANY health issue. Even if you're old/ill, your chances are still far better if you're vaccinated than if you're unvaccinated.

Especially if you get your booster.

There are no long term studies regarding this so you cannot say for sure how safe it is and vaccinated positive cases aren't that rare anymore.

CDC recommends masking indoors. CDC recommends masking in schools. Everyone screams to follow science. Science recommends masking.

Breakthrough infections are even more reason to get vaccinated and boosted. COVID isn't going away. That should be clear by now- even to you.

It was never going to go away as most people don't take COVID seriously. You can get boosted. No way I am. I did my part. I did my two and I'm done.

It doesn't matter to me whether you get more shots. Early on, vaccines were important tools to slow the spread. Now that a large portion of the population is vaccinated, the vaccines are mostly to protect the recipient.

So go right ahead and skip the boosters. But don't expect to anyone to feel sorry for you when you either get sick from COVID or when you refuse to re-enter society after everyone else moves on.

I cannot renter as I cannot risk Covid from you. I cannot take a booster as I reacted very poorly and had issues for months. You are so focused on your wants you stopped even understanding it’s not as simple for others as it is for you. Must be nice to have your health. Must be nice for your kids to have both parents alive.

Well, delivery drivers for you I guess. It's endemic at this point. We're close to as good as it gets. Hopefully you're not holding back your kids from living their lives, though...

I really hope you're able to go to physical and mental health specialists to get the help you need. If not for you, at least for your kids who might never recover from the isolation you are unnecessarily subjecting them to.

If you're going to report on CDC guidance, at least do it accurately.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/prevent-getting-sick/about-face-coverings.html

"If you are fully vaccinated, to maximize protection from the Delta variant and prevent possibly spreading it to others, wear a mask indoors in public if you are in an area of substantial or high transmission."

We are high transmission and you forgot to pull out the other parts like indoor dining and schools.

We’re on the edge between moderate and substantial, not high.

Its still very concerning and way higher than it needs to be. So, unmasking will cause it to get higher. Why not help get it to low?

It is completely plausible that we're ready at endemic levels of spread in adult populations. And even if we're not, there's no reason to think case numbers wouldn't bounce right back to where they are when we inevitably drop masks.

But the point is case numbers don't matter. Severe cases matter, and the vaccines strongly protect against those.

We don’t know who will get a severe case or not and masking has been shown to help in school. There is no distancing or other precautions and testing and quarantining is a joke. You may not care about kids health or even your kids but that is irresponsible when there is lots of information that these vaccines are just short term and many unknowns.

Similarly, we don't know who's going to get in a car accident, or even accurately guess who will get cancer or die tomorrow from a heart attack. That's life. I've never seen people use that as an excuse not to live their lives.

Pretty much a yea here still falls under substantial transmission. The bar is pretty low. We are all going to be masking in the DMV well into endemic status.

+1. It’s so irresponsible for schools to even be open before the kid’s are vaccinated. They should have set a January timetable for opening once kids could get their two doses. There have been at least a dozen cases at our ES since September and thankfully none have required hospitalization that I know of but that’s luck more than anything and not sure that’s true once you talk about everyone else they may have spread to.

Is there still a school system in the country or world that's still doing virtual as the standard? Or were you thinking that MCPS could have been that district batsh#t insane enough to consider it? Not even they are that crazy clearly...

Its good covid is going around and the kids are catching it. Makes it safer for the kids in virtual who are waiting out covid. You had the option to do virtual. You choose in person. Stop complaining. You can always homeschool or apply to virtual or pay for a private virtual program.

The issue is the lack of testing, social distancing and behavior. However, MCPS, MoCo and Biden failed us and its all about politics and elections and not safety. And, the selfish parents who refuse to be cautious and don't care and those who send their kids to school sick. Thank them for being irresponsible and teaching their kids to be irresponsible by example.

No one has a serious anxiety disorder except you. But, I think we can safely diagnose you as a narcist. However, its a silly comment as this poster had the same opportunity to apply for virtual as the rest of us and can at any time remove their child from in person.

We're very close to being as good as it gets.

Reported case numbers will drop, as more people gain immunity through infection or vaccination/boosters. More significantly, we'll see less testing, as vaccinated individuals aren't going to bother with testing for cold-like symptoms. Similarly, schools will end survellience testing to a large degree soon after kids are vaccinated. Hospitalizations will drop too, as people gain protective immunity or die trying.

But COVID will still be out there, mostly harmlessly infected people who already have protective immunity. We're at that point now for people that choose to get vaccinated.

But COVID will be just as dangerous a year from now to antivaxxers and anyone that stayed in their basement to avoid infection.
