I'm confused. I think these are the TOTAL OF NEW CASES FOR THAT DAY, not the rate per 100k. That's a big difference. Over a million people live in Fairfax.

According to the VDH Dashboard it is the “Total number of new cases per 100,000 persons within the last 14 days”.

So many people still do not understand how metrics work, it’s scary

+1. Also, counting positive tests is a dumb metric anyway. Are these people even sick?

It can be greatly influenced by how many non positive people test. So, for it to be a high percentage either means community spread is TRULY astronomical or almost nobody can get tested.

Not only that but people don’t seem to realize lcps k-2 has been in school for about 2 months. They are doing very well.

If you are not comfortable with in person, continue with DL. Many of us want our kids to be in school and hope LCPS succeeds.

Good luck today, LCPS.

Praying the infections skyrocket and push LCPS to DL.

Wow. You are psychotic. Get back on your meds.

Why can’t the pp just keep their kids in DL?

So strange to wish sick upon others.

+1. Our ES has had not one single positive or quarantine. Not a single person has set foot in the “care room.” Teachers are giving the staffer clerical work so she has something to do! Keeping the 3-5th graders out of this building would be absurd.

If you were so sure and so proud of your ES you’d write the name. I would.

But you didn’t. We see your troll posts in just about every thread. You’d be funny if it you weren’t so pathetic and sad.

How is 5 weeks "about 2 months"?

Again, asymptomatic does not equal Covid-free.

You must understand that schools are accelerators of viral spread in that they increases cases in the community. You don’t it inside the school necessarily. Maybe the teacher’s husband gets sick, maybe it’s mild and he doesn't test, he visits his parents in the nursing home, and starts a deadly outbreak in the home. Nursing home Staffers are exposed to high viral loads, return to their families every evening, and it spreads in the community. Now imagine many teachers’ and students’ families spreading Covid without realizing it.


This is how we get to more than a quarter of a million dead.

Don’t care if you believe me or not. It’s true. I sub in the building (gasp!) It is a very low FARMS school in the eastern part of the county. But we are not the only school who has had no cases.

5 weeks is long enough for the doomsday scenario to have begun and it...hasn’t.

Read some of the studies and expert opinoins published that say schools so far are not a major source of disease spread, if they have mitigation measures.

Listen, there studies that say they are Nd studies that say they aren’t. Kids aren’t tested as much and parents underreport to school. There is no consistency among attendance whether hybrid, DL or full time around the country. It is honestly not clear yet what the true extent is od Miss and school vis a vis the pandemic because they all operate differently in areas with different spread and involve an under tested demographic. At mosh kids have been in school since august. That’s simply not enough time with data this varied to know. We can all find studies that support what we want to think is true on this topic. It really isn’t definitive.

August-December is definitely enough time to know that all of the horrible doomsday predictions for schools did NOT occur.

So, your rhetoric is unnecessary. There’s a lot of latitude been all good and doomsday. Again, it’s impossible to say. So many were all DL or only had hybrid. The few districts that have had 5 days are in areas of such massive spread that it’s impossible to separate our community spread from the schools that... serve the communities with massive spread. We know cautious areas had less spread which was the goal. It reminds me of when a kid does well on an IEP so the school starts talking about removing the IEP... they did well BECAUSE they had it!

I’m not proposing 5 day school. Just K-12 hybrid as long as VA is in phase 3. Northam has been conservative on metrics. Let him roll us back if need be.

DP. Not really. Several posters here think that any return-to-school ends up in a radioactive explosion of COVID within days. But it does not, and thankfully we have LCPS to prove it to the rest of the region.
