Oooh don’t talk actual science to her. She confuses easily. |

Although tomorrow will reflect data from the first day back-to-school, Friday will be the first indicator whether in-school spread occurred today. By Friday the post Memorial Day trend will continue.
This holiday data is from Monday, 5/30/22, reported today. There are 72 new student infections and 17 new staff infections reported since yesterday. There have been 1568 active infections at MCPS within the last 10 days. This is 192 less than yesterday's 10-day average. Of 210 schools in MCPS plus Central Office, 96 (46%) are improving, 95 (45%) are steady, and 19 (9%) are getting worse. 7% (15 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 2% or more. 0% (0 of 210) schools have an infection rate of 10% or more. This is the shortest this list has been in several weeks, although Churchill is an outlyer with 122 infections.

And as of today, 5/31, Maryland hospitals are reporting a total of 3 pediatric patients hospitalized with COVID. It's unclear if these patients are hospitalized for Covid-related illnesses or merely incidental positive tests, although past data suggests it's likely half and half.

Antibodies wane over time. You can keep insulting me as much as you want. But your own *science* is about as logical as your *logic,* which tends to posit examples like, "covid is just like the flu!" Or, "why would they expect us to keep getting boosters? We don't have to do that with the flu!" Or, one of my favorites, your recent: "we can't ask people to wear masks now because we might need them to wear masks later!" Either you're paid, or you're just so far up some government-contracted K-hole that you can't wipe your own self. Either way, your continued attempts to pretend like you're being *scientific* are nothing more than amusing. Dance, monkey. Dance. |
This, on the other hand, is great news. |
It must just kill you that no one reads these or cares anymore. You lost this debate. |
There is no actual science in those paragraphs. "There's no such thing as zero risk in life" does not translate, for most ethical people, into "let's continually infect and spread a contagious virus to vulnerable people because there's no mandate and masks are icky." No, that's just you and your misguided sense that you're on some noble crusade for freedom, dude. |
I read them. And appreciate you posting them. It's heartening to see the low numbers at our high -Farms school. Although rationally, I realize the numbers may be low due to a lack of testing or reporting, I know a lot of the kids and staff as masking and the principal takes covid seriously. When I look at the schools with the highest numbers, I do wonder how much of that has to do with reporting and how much of it has to do with arrogance and privilege. You just know Kensington Dad's kids are at a W feeder. And his opinions are probably the same as a lot of his neighbors. |
If that's true, why are you still here on this thread? Not sure why you're trying to convince me I've "lost this debate" that I didn't even know I was debating? You can say all you want and comment all you want. What you don't seem to realize is that it is you that is irrelevant. Yet time and time again, you come back and comment. It's really very sad. Move on with your life and read a different thread. You'll be happier for it. Trust me. In the meantime, those of us who care, and care about our children, will continue to monitor. An article caught my eye: "The Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported 7,029 new confirmed COVID cases on Tuesday, after no reports over the long weekend." https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-reports-7029-new-covid-cases-over-4-days-6-additional-deaths/ Why is this important? On May 30th, Massachusetts reported zero new cases in the entire state, with a 7-DAY-AVERAGE OF 2,060 cases. The question is, how did they get 7,029 new cases in a single day with 0 cases the day prior? |
How was your super important call with China? |
Great, thanks. It's still sad that I'm taking up so much space in your fluffy little head. You should talk to someone who isn't me about that. |
Holy sh!t. I thought you were just scientifically illiterate. Now it’s clear that you’re just plain illiterate. I’m going to stop engaging with you now. It’s no longer amusing to debate with people that have actual diagnosable problems. My apologies. |
Who are you calling tonight? I expect a full report. |
Are you kidding? Talking to you is like talking to Hannibal Lechter. I am intrigued, amazed and disgusted at the same time. Someone who is not you wouldn’t be nearly as entertaining. |
You previously claimed antibodies disappear 5 days after an infection, with a vague statement saying it was from the CDC website. Obviously you didn't read that on the CDC website since it doesn't make any sense given how antibodies are produced. You never explained where you got that idea, so I can only guess. You might have been confusing tests that look for antigens (basically, the virus) versus tests that look for antibodies produced by the immune system. Antibody levels wane over time, but serology testing is different than fighting off an infection. As the FDA’s page shows, serology tests for prior infections are certainly specific and sensitive enough to give good data for controlled covid studies. Your claim that we don't have reliable ways to test for prior infections is simply false. |
