They haven’t said that they are not, and since they are not sending out community case letters anymore, they stated that families are informed about the number of cases in schools through this format. So they really should still be posting it (along with data from the weekend). This is really not a hard thing to deliver properly.

We’re still getting the daily Covid case count letter from the principal, on weekdays at least. (Blair HS)

Seems like coming off the holiday weekend they just couldn’t get their act together.

Somebody with an agenda to close schools. The figures are constructed in a way to lead to certain conclusions. The fact X percent of students or staff have Covid is neither evidence of school spread or an indication that an individual school is in “chaos.” I’m sure it will stop being updated once cases decrease.

Strongly disagree here. I am for keeping the schools open but not showing accumulated 5-7 days of data is highly misleading. MCPS started with that and then dropped it. You can decide when to close or switch or not close or not switch ... all that, but be transparent about the data which can be seen by families.

Families can decide if they want to send their kids to school. My kids already have gotten covid so I am not worried, but it hardly means that we hide data and force families.

But what is it exactly that anyone can conclude from the data that is at all useful for making decisions? If 10% of the students in a school tested positive, I have no idea whether they caught it at school or the mall, and they are isolating at home.

For MCPS parents’ purposes, it doesn’t matter where they caught it. What matters is that statistically, 2-3 kids *in every class* have an active covid case. That makes it much more difficult to avoid catching covid than when 2-3 out of every hundred kids has an active case.

Kids who test positive aren't in school. Or at least the ones whose parents aren't assholes.

Every kid isn’t testing every day. Some kids tested negative on Monday and didn’t test again. Those kids were in school on Monday with kids who did test positive and were contagious. Did you think testing every kid once magically stopped transmission, even retroactively?

This is what has me concerned.

Anecdotally, I heard that in the UK they do test every single day. At least in some schools. We've been told this isn't possible, but I'm not sure how it's possible to contain tbe spread without doing this.

I am concerned too, but my kid got covid over winter break before going back to school. It is mostly omicron because there's no symptom. We family got covid at the same time,, and recover/finished quarantine at the same time. I assume that my kid that go to school has some extra immunity now and unlikely to get covid within 90 days. After 90 days, the omicron peak should have been gone.

How nice for your family, assuming they don't have any long-term effects.

DP.. more than likely, they won't have long term effects. Statistics.

Everyone will be exposed to covid at some point, and covid is here to stay. Even if you go virtual now, at some point, your kid will get exposed.

You also have a chance of getting into a bad car accident, but I assume you and your kids stil get into a car, right?

we really don’t have any idea of the odds Long COVID. i’ve seen estimates of 10-50%. A recent study came out that seemed to indicate that vaccination might cut the risk of Long Covid in half. As a parent who is watching a child struggling with long COVID, I can assure you that 5-25% chance of struggling with what I’m seeing is not a bet you want to have to live on the losing side of.

I have a dear friend whose child is dealing with long COVID. It's sad that we're so willing to offer this generation up as fodder to this virus.

Why haven’t they posted an update since Fri? Aren’t they supposed to update it weekdays by 7?

Do we have any ideas why they didn't post numbers for the 18th?
