Maryland is in last place in the entire country for opening schools

We sure do live in our own little bubble, don't we. Imagine all the kids throughout the country getting a proper education while we fall further behind. Wonder if it will show up in college admissions this coming year.

Need to do a side by side with a map of dead/sick teachers for this to be instructive/convincing

Come to Carroll where they’re (BOE) demanding schools be open 4/week for all students by 3/22.

My state has a little over 50% in school. For deaths from Covid, roughly 80% of deaths were associated with long term care facilities. From a deep google search, I could only find one teacher death from Covid. From personal experience, I've worked with Covid patients since the beginning and my hospital has had the most number of hospitalizated and deceased patients in our state. We've had no teachers pass away. A few hospitalized. Obviously this is just one little look and I'm not speaking for every state or even saying schools should be open 100% (we kept DS home this year). But just giving my own piece of the puzzle.

The country is approaching 500,000 deaths, so of course some of those people will be teachers. But the number is small and even smaller when you consider cases where there is some reason to believe the transmission resulted from school.
