No, they offered DL for all who applied to VA. Parents screamed they didn't want virtual or hybrid so you got what you asked for. You told parents it had to be in person or deal with it. So, those of us who were uncomfortable with our kids being around yours due to behavior choose VA. Now its time for you to deal with it when your kids get quarantined. Oh well.. It is viable long-term. Many kids are doing virtual long term. It may not be viable for your family as you need free child care but that's a different issue.

How many?

Exactly. And how many are regretting it?

There are about 3200 students in virtual. More applications pending.

We don't regret it.

You don't regret it because you like being a martyr even though it is obvious at this point that school reopening hasnt driven infections in the community and that kids are fine.

No just don't like being around the covid crazies who can't keep their masks on or are in all out denial

Girl, if you think MoCo is full of covid-crazies, you need a reality check. Did you mean crazy-cautious? This is the land of masks on playgrounds.

That's exactly what she means by Covid-crazies.

The covid-forever crowd that things the disease is lurking behind every bush ready to pounce on their child.

Those are the covid-crazies

I am currently at a local park waiting for my son to finish soccer practice. There is a little obscure playground here that no one ever visits. There is a family of 4 at the playground in masks. There is no one around them. Just them and their toddlers. What are they scared of?

Why do you care? For all you know, one of them is recovering from cancer. Butt out!

This- we know a family that wear masks around eachother at home too because dad has to go into the office part-time and one kid is back in school. Just easier to wear masks then worry about transmission at home. The family at the playground could have a similar family policy.

Precisely, my wife is an respiratory therapist and our kid is high risk. What's it to you?

I still don't get why a family playing by themselves would wear masks, especially when they are accepting much bigger risks with a respiratory therapist in the family, but YMMV. Even when masks outside were all the rage, I would only put them on myself and my kids when other people showed up at the playground.

Right. I mean, the only way that makes sense is if they also mask at home too? And eat separately?

Otherwise, it's just silly. or signaling to neighbors how much they "follow the science"

There are parents who are picking their kids up from school on rainy days during lunch so that the kids don’t have to eat inside. Everyone has gone just a little bit more insane. We were getting a little better until MoCo brought back the indoor mask mandate.

If masks are such a burden to you, then you might be happier living in Florida or Texas.

We have friends doing that and good for them. We'd do that too if ours were in person. Saying you follow science means nothing as its just a made up term to justify your behavior.

As in, saying you follow science to justify your behavior of keeping your kids out of in-person.

I'm using science to know if I have to get my kids at lunch, there is no social distancing or other basic precautions beyond masking per the CDC its best not to have kids in person. If you read the CDC guidlelines MCPS isn't really following them nor are most parents.

Well MCPS administered 29,000 tests in 141 schools and only found 18 positives. So I guess MCPS, the parents and the students are doing something right to have a positivity rate of 0.067%. But you do you. CDC guidance is predicated on community transmission and vaccination. We are 89.3% fully vaccinated and 99.2% with at least 1 dose. This is not Alabama.

This was an opt in test where those high risk opt out. Cdc guidance says more especially with large schools.

11 and under have no vaccinations.

[Anonymous]

11 and under aren’t vaccinated, OMG what breaking news 🙄 We get it, you kind of wish this county was experiencing some kind of doomsday scenario because it would make you feel superior. So sorry that the return to in person school hasn’t resulted in rampant serious illness and death.

I'm using science to know if I have to get my kids at lunch, there is no social distancing or other basic precautions beyond masking per the CDC its best not to have kids in person. If you read the CDC guidlelines MCPS isn't really following them nor are most parents.

Well MCPS administered 29,000 tests in 141 schools and only found 18 positives. So I guess MCPS, the parents and the students are doing something right to have a positivity rate of 0.067%. But you do you. CDC guidance is predicated on community transmission and vaccination. We are 89.3% fully vaccinated and 99.2% with at least 1 dose. This is not Alabama.

This was an opt in test where those high risk opt out. Cdc guidance says more especially with large schools.

CDC guidance says that if you can’t social distance use a layered approach, vaccination, masking, cohorting, testing, ventilation and respiratory protocols. What specifically is MCPS not doing ?

How many?

Exactly. And how many are regretting it?

There are about 3200 students in virtual. More applications pending.

We don't regret it.

You don't regret it because you like being a martyr even though it is obvious at this point that school reopening hasnt driven infections in the community and that kids are fine.

No just don't like being around the covid crazies who can't keep their masks on or are in all out denial

Girl, if you think MoCo is full of covid-crazies, you need a reality check. Did you mean crazy-cautious? This is the land of masks on playgrounds.

That's exactly what she means by Covid-crazies.

The covid-forever crowd that things the disease is lurking behind every bush ready to pounce on their child.

Those are the covid-crazies

I am currently at a local park waiting for my son to finish soccer practice. There is a little obscure playground here that no one ever visits. There is a family of 4 at the playground in masks. There is no one around them. Just them and their toddlers. What are they scared of?

Why do you care? For all you know, one of them is recovering from cancer. Butt out!

This- we know a family that wear masks around eachother at home too because dad has to go into the office part-time and one kid is back in school. Just easier to wear masks then worry about transmission at home. The family at the playground could have a similar family policy.

Precisely, my wife is an respiratory therapist and our kid is high risk. What's it to you?

I still don't get why a family playing by themselves would wear masks, especially when they are accepting much bigger risks with a respiratory therapist in the family, but YMMV. Even when masks outside were all the rage, I would only put them on myself and my kids when other people showed up at the playground.

Right. I mean, the only way that makes sense is if they also mask at home too? And eat separately?

Otherwise, it's just silly. or signaling to neighbors how much they "follow the science"

There are parents who are picking their kids up from school on rainy days during lunch so that the kids don’t have to eat inside. Everyone has gone just a little bit more insane. We were getting a little better until MoCo brought back the indoor mask mandate.

We have friends doing that and good for them. We'd do that too if ours were in person. Saying you follow science means nothing as its just a made up term to justify your behavior.

As in, saying you follow science to justify your behavior of keeping your kids out of in-person.

Wait did you sample all those who did not opt in and determined that they are somehow high risk?

vaccination: getting there, but eligible students do remain unvaccinated

masking: check

cohorting: not happening

testing: still a joke. Only 125 tests deployed to schools and roll out has been abysmal for screening tests.

ventilation: show me the data. the diamonds don't cut it.

Acknowledge it's an airborne transmitted disease.

Exactly. in some elememntary schools with 500 students, only about 20% opted in. They are not reaching families, and other families are launching a "do not opt in" propaganda campaign. Principals are left to figure out who to pick for testing. We don't need to be alabama. We are pretty comical
