You’re never going to stop transmission. |

No, but you can reduce it with basic precautions. We could do a lot more except people like you aren't willing to and don't care about the consequences of your choices to others. |

You’re not getting rid of covid, and there’s nothing coming in the foreseeable future that will change the course of the virus. So it makes no sense to continue with covid measures unless you’re prepared to keep those measures up indefinitely. Most of us aren’t willing to continue masking, distancing, quarantines, or extended isolation periods indefinitely. Particularly for a virus that doesn't get most people very sick. |

It's a bit of a myth that COVID is evolving to become less deadly. I just watched a pretty compelling segment on how China is screwed because their lack luster vaccine and their zero COVID policy means that way fewer people have immunity and omicron is really bad for people with no prior immunity. Part of why COVID is less deadly is because by the time omicron came to the US most of us had some experience with the virus either through infection, immunization, or both. Maybe omicron is slightly less severe but the fact that it's so much more transmissable negates that. It's just that at this point something like 90% of the population or more has some exposure to the virus or vaccine or both. |

| I am wondering what is going to happen when y’all understand how much neurological damage you have caused your kids by demanding they get COVID 2-3 times a year. The learning loss from Zoom school will look like a dream. |

We can do more but people like you are too selfish to do even basics to help prevent illness. We never had extended isolation periods or quarantines. Its kinda sad to think what example you are setting for your kids. |

Most of the learning loss was because these same parents didn't monitor their kids or make sure they did the work. |

Its less deadly as its killed off the majority of people it could and now its just some remaining that will get seriously ill. Do you even care how many people died of covid? At least China is trying which is more than we can say. |

You don’t remember the 14 and 10 days isolation and quarantine periods? |

Even if you think that way, then you should still conclude we’re now in a situation where we won’t need to worry about covid. |

China is ‘trying’? That’s laughable. Did you see their pathetic attempts at vaccines? China is only trying to control its citizens and spread misinformation about how few deaths there are. No thanks. Hard pass on the idea that China is ‘trying’. |

9/15 71 students, 19 staff
9/16 114 students, 27 staff 9/17 47 students, 7 staff Overall # of reported cases is 2,003, 740 in the last 7 days. Starting this week with a few notables: RM HS is now at 32 infection in the prior 7 days (1.2%). Rockville HS 25, 1.5% Wootton HS, 22, 1.0% Blair HS, 21, 0.6% BCC HS, 18, 0.7% WJ HS, 17, 0.5% Blake HS 16, 0.8% Northwest HS, 16, 0.6% Snowden Farm ES 16, 2.1% Central Office 15 cases Fairland ES 15, 2.3% MacDonald Knolls has 3.3% of the school infected. This week will be important to watch. Last week's Thursday's jump of 177 cases in a day was surprising, since the weather was good and kids should have been mostly eating outside. My guess is that fewer are masking, which could account for the rapid increase? If we continue to have spikes like that, it doesn't bode well for Q1. |

The us isn’t doing much better with accurate information. What is the point of vaccines? |

We very much need to worry about it. I don’t want it multiple times a year. |

No, never had any of that in MCPS. |
