Gov. Hogan comes out with hard stance, aims for cross-state hybrid instruction by Mar. 1

Finally, someone with political guts. Hopefully this puts the pressure on VA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?fbclid=IwAR0xWRCyk3gJkMzespdyo50u4ZVl_1kJYl-iOcsjI4ILZ7wpOvsIN3jGpco&v=tDKejObCVZA&feature=youtu.be

That's 2 weeks after my second vaccine. Sounds great!

Wow so impressive. 12 months after public schools shut down they might reopen . . . for 2 days a week.

Meanwhile crowded Catholic schools have been humming along fine 5 days a week since September with NO DEAD TEACHERS OR CHILDREN, of which we were told to expect plenty.

MCPS announced weeks ago it was pausing their RTS until March 15th.

It's a starting point. I agree that public schools can and should pull off more, but this at least sets a marker and puts pressure on school districts to meet a minimum of hybrid instruction. Without political leadership in VA, school districts like FCPS, ACPS, and other cowardly school boards won't be inclined to try and move forward at all.

Yes, this. Take the first steps, even if they seem absurd, to get everyone back into the swing of school in a building.

What an idiot. As if picking an arbitrary date was helpful with an ever-changing viral situation.

It's sobering to think that even with such pronouncements, Hogan is one of the better Governors on this and other issues...

It's sobering to realize how many people like you are willing to overlook all evidence to the contrary and spout off about how dangerous schools are . . . for what reason? So you can enjoy the feeling of living in the middle of catastrophic times? Find a new thrill.

Because I'm an expert in a molecular biology (which, you know, includes viruses), and I KNOW that opening schools shouldn't be done lightly. It's not that it can't be done. It's that I doubt Americans can accept and stick to a stringent plan. Japanese and Koreans? Sure. Europeans? Deplorable effort all over Europe, and cases shot up. Americans? I'm not holding out much hope...

Wow, you are an "expert" in microbiology?!?!?

AMAZING

I bet there isn't a single person in all on Maryland, or Montgomery county who has your level of expertise.

I mean what do Johns Hopkins, the NIH or the former head of the FDA know?

You should be in charge!!

If only everyone listened to you everything would be better.

Schools are open all over the county.

Nursing homes = Problem
Multi family living = Problem
Bars & Restaurants = Problem

Schools = Not a problem

Anyone telling you otherwise has an agenda.

What does that have to do with us in Virginia?
