MCPS covid cases

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.

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 problem is we don't have extra cleanings or much cleaning at school, no social distancing and no other precautions beyond masking.

Most people in Russia don't want to take the Russian vaccine for good reason.

Let’s keep it going until every school that has a single case is covered.

Will omicron show up at MCPS?

No, MCPS has an invisible bubble that keeps out all covid and covid variants.

Seriously, of course, it will come with all the travel. Just give it a few weeks. The good news is MCPS is only doing minimal testing so it will be easy to hide.

The good news is that MCPS is in a county that is doing about 38,500 PCR tests per week.

Covid will come to MCPS in 2030. Covid will come to current high schoolers’ children who attend MCPS. BFD.

Delta pretty much disappointed in MCPS relative to summer hype. I guess there’s a new variant to root for.

Doesn’t look like omicron is going to spread widely in the US, which has a much higher vaccination rate than SA. It is unlikely that omicron will reach our schools. It also seems that omicron is not as bad as initially thought.

It is just a matter of time …
