How will Bowser keep schools closed now?

Finally. That was long overdue. Germany has no distancing requirements at all for schools.

Germany is not a country of morons who see mask wearing as a political issue.

CDC has updated other guidelines, and the updates have been ignored by DOH or OSSE or DCPS.

Mask compliance is no better in Germany then in DC. The comparison to Texas is irrelevant here. And by the way, Germany only requires masks in schools for fifth grade and up.

Germany is run by a scientist and so cases have been low in Germany. They’ve risen a bit, but nowhere near 500,000 deaths as we’ve seen in the US.

The US was run by a corrupt criminal installed and kept in office by oligarchs like Koch and Murdoch and Sen Purdue and Rick Scott and Mitch McConnell.
We did something rare: we voted out oligarchy. And in the deal we got a better COVID response too.

You are wrong on the German Covid numbers. Many areas of Germany had much worse case numbers then the DC area ever had. And yet schools were open all fall, and a re-opening now after a short lockdown. Especially given how local school decisions are in the US, it makes no sense at all to compare Germany to the US overall.

Also, they have gone through two total lock-downs where regulations were completely observed. Apples and Oranges here.

What matters is to compare the level of community spread. And it has not been lower in Germany, despite the lockdowns. During which, by the way, elementary school stayed open in many areas

Germans mostly wear N95 masks in public. It is required in stores and public transport. Its an extra level of protection for everyone and service workers. This is true of many other European countries.

Many countries in Europe don't have children under 12 wear masks in school.

This is a fairly recent development. And as others have mentioned, they do not require masks in elementary school. Not in the classroom. Since this thread is about the distancing requirements within classrooms, that is the only relevant point, besides the question of community spread (which, as is becoming increasingly clear, is actually not that relevant for the safety of schools).

Schools were open when everything else was closed. Again, everything that I heard about the lock-down was that Germans complied with strict regulations and at times there was a curfew. There was no indoor dining and no one traveled to beaches or went skiing over the weekend and then brought their kids back to in-person learning. It's a little different here.
