My kids are vaccinated. We are still being very careful. It has nothing to do with anxiety. We don't want long term health issues associated with covid. We are living our lives. Our lives just look different than yours. We don't need to be selfish and travel right now. We don't need to do large indoor gatherings as they are all proven to be higher risk for spread.

We are not making any improvements towards covid because of people like you and your attitude that your wishes come before the community needs and your are probably on eco those people who scream it takes a village, except you refuse to be part of that village when it doesn't meet your wants.

Selfish is in the eye of the beholder. Continuing to refuse visits to grandparents despite an entirely vaccinated family with no known risk factors would be seen as selfish in my family.

+1. My view of selfish is also keeping vaccinated kids away from the activities they love.

You assume grandparents want to see the grandkids. We wouldn't see them regardless of covid as they are busy and not interested in being grandparents except a quick visit a few times a year. You are fortunate to have grandparents who want to be involved. The only grandparent who we have had who is involved died a few years ago.

Are you growing your own food? Or are you putting delivery drivers and grocery employees at risk to provide your sustenance? How are you even posting? Aren't you putting telecom and electric company employees at risk? Why are you so selfish? If you'd only change your behavior, this would all be over.

That's your best response?

Look, if you are looking to justify your behavior, no need. We don't care what you do. And, what we choose has no impact on you so why is it really an issue?

You need to look in the mirror and examine your own selfish lifestyle before blasting others.

We are only as safe as the least safe person we interact with. My behavior is very safe. Is yours?

Employees all over the world are interacting on your behalf. You just have the means to pay them to do so while you hide in your home.

Are these your best talking points? If anything we have a duty to help protect them.

Again, we are talking about safety in MCPS. They dropped the test to stay program. Testing is optional and very limited random testing to those who opt in. There is no social distancing, no extra cleanings (while not good for covid, its good for colds and flu), and expect masking, zero precautions. If that is good enough for young great.

But, what are you doing to help protect the MCPS employees?

St. Mary's County just had a large outbreak. You really think that cannot happen in MCPS?

We got a message last week that the pilot test to stay program would start to rollout around thanksgiving at select schools. It was dropped already? Never saw a follow up.

Now, should MCPS have rolled this out sooner? Absolutely. Our ES sends full classrooms home for a positive case, which is overkill to me.

Do you have a child in person? I can assure you there are more precautions than that at our school, but I’m not going to waste my time on you. Call your school and educate yourself if you want to know what they are doing.

Oh, and the best way to protect MCPS employees is for them to get vaccinated. Which they are.

But let’s be real- community transmission matters here, so if you think you’re somehow doing everyone a service still getting your groceries delivered vs. going yourself, there’s no reasoning with you.

You really have no answer or defense. It's not clear how you expect society to continue functioning using your definition of "good behavior" (i.e., complete avoidance). But hey, feel free to continue outsourcing your risk and acting self righteous.

lol. I think this statement says more about you than anything. I'm not the poster you're reacting to but actually there's no reasoning with you. And you are wrong about your facts. The pandemic / endemic is no where near over so removing any effective measures is a silly concept. If anything, it will last longer because of silly people like you.

The proactive measures (e.g. things that help you reduce infection chances) include masks, air filtration, wipes and social distancing. The reactive measures that help you if you are exposed are vaccinations and treatments. Proactive measures (e.g. pre-infection) are generally what you want to do before post-infection/reactive measures. Why would you forgo one of the most effective proactive measures? This shows your state of single-mindedness and lack of logical process flow.

Your analysis seems to be limited to the current situation in Montgomery County, Maryland and that it is in an isolated bubble from external factors. This shows regional / local thinking, so you're probably work state / local versus global / international. A virus does not care about your politics or opinions. It cares if there is a host (especially if unvaccinated) and if it can mutate / evolve variants faster than your vaccine efficiency. By not acting in a unified manner (arguably impossible in a global pandemic, since countries do not coordinate well and the stubborn people in the U.S. that refuse to get it), there is an increasing possibility that yet-another-variant occurs and eventually takes hold in the U.S. Ex. Russia is in sad shape right now, even though they deployed (arguably) the first vaccine and there is the chance that it becomes a source of re-infection down the road.

But again, you know best and no one will change your mind. Some people learn through observation and analysis while others must experience it themselves.

To the other, more rational people on this thread, just keep your kids masked. Let the lemmings go - it's Nature's Way.

The conversation flowed from post at 3:11 that specifically tried to distract by downscaling the conversation to MCPS. And aside, vaccines are considered preventative (or "proactive" medicine). And it's not "arguably" impossible that the world act in a unified matter. It "is" impossible. I mean your whole post is riddled with garbled nonsense.

There have been an uptick in covid cases @ Blair HS recently. Is your DC’s school also seeing an increase? I wonder how bad it is going to be at MCPS this winter.

I personally find 95 percent if teachers absolutely terrible with dealing with problem kids and 99 percent of administration equally bad.

However if your son is the star QB, your daughter wins math championship or a kids gets into Harvard they take all the credit.

Your kid drops out, ends up in jail, of course parents fault.

I just think teachers in general are very ill quipped to deal with students with issues. And they don’t care or even if they do are not allowed to help.

Kids with drunk dads who beat them and moms on crack, going to bed hungry and cold your math quiz they don’t care

A student with issues takes way more than 1/30th of a teacher's attention. No teacher can excel at that without lots of professional support.

That's good if your school is being cautious. Our school has no precautions other than masking.

Most teens are hanging out in each others homes, there is no distancing at schools and activities. Plus, its travel season. NO surprise.
