I don't think that's true. |
There’s only one month left of the school year- I assume you are talking about the fall? I don’t see much changing in terms of breakthrough treatments or vaccines so if you’re not comfortable in person now be sure to register for VA next year. |
We just traveled to Disney. And go to NY/NJ frequently. It’s 100% true. |
Thoughts and prayers. |
You are correct. I do not care. It’s not up to me to keep you safe from an invisible ubiquitous virus that apparently I could have and not know about. That’s very entitled by the way. I don’t know anyone who actually is such a narcissist in real life. But even if I cared deeply about you, I can’t protect you from covid. It will find you eventually regardless of whether I suck the joy out of my life in solidarity or not. |
I have to agree with this. The majority of the country is going about their daily life, quite normally. Yet there is this subset of overly anxious people who clearly can’t run and efficient risk benefit analysis, and insist we stay home to keep them safe. Yet they think we are the selfish ones. It’s bizarre. |

You don't need to register if you are already enrolled. I agree with you, I don't think there will be any change in vaccines, despite them promising an updated vaccine last March, which is unfortunate. |
|
Last time I looked at mcps numbers, they continued to be on the rise and no I am not overly anxious but I don’t want to get Covid from you. So, yes, you are selfish. |
DP. At some point you’re going to have to adjust your mindset on this because the PP is not some outlier, society is continually heading in this direction and yes you sound anxious if you are worried about getting Covid from random internet posters you don’t even know. At the risk of sounding like a republican, two years in to this, some of y’all need to take some personal responsibility and modify your actions if your caution level is relatively higher than everyone else. |
What are you looking for? People aren’t going to keep covid measures up forever. Nor is covid going to be eradicated. So what's your plan? Are you going to keep isolating yourself and your kids? Or are you going to take steps to protect yourself so you can interact with others? |
The discussion is about Covid in MCPS. Honestly I have no interest in interacting with others as I don't want covid. Its not about it being eradicated but since people refuse to use common sense and stay home when sick, we are now seeing outbreaks in MCPS schools and that's an issue. |
Our actions have been modified. The discussion is about Covid in MCPS schools and far more can be done to keep it out of the schools. |
There are always going to be cases in MCPS. Vaccines and infection don’t confer lasting immunity against subsequent infections. |
