Yup! This is what you wanted TogetherAgainMCPS, deal with it.

We want “TogetherAgainMCPS brought to you by new and competent leadership”. We got the former but not the latter.

Please. It's not unreasonable to want MCPS, the public school system for the county that's home to NIH and FDA, to use *science* in determining guidelines, not whatever nonsense they deem will prevent any transmission of COVID in schools ever. God forbid they follow CDC or CHOP PolicyLab or the guidelines Ashish Jha and colleagues outlined for his kids' school system in Massachusetts, etc. Nope. Instead we get quarantines for any symptom, with no thought to practical considerations or any number of outcomes that matter for kids.

No. Your dumb group wants schools open no matter the cost. No matter if kids die. No matter if a kid brings it home to a relative. You are a selfish group of people hiding under PhD's (I hope deep down you all know that doesn't make you medical doctors because you sure don't act like it). Schools are open; you're now paying the price for a very disruptive year because that is exactly what you demanded.

We're paying the price for incompetent leadership making up their own guidance that is out of alignment with every other district in the nation. We're paying the price for wishy washy leadership that is making things up as they go along.

What price are you paying? The only way to reopen schools was to have no social distancing or other precautions. You got what you wanted.

In elementary? Yes, they are all over each other. I had three boys in a dog pile while waiting for busses last week. They have zero sense of personal space. This is what 5 days a week for everyone looks like. Without mandatory testing, this is the best we can hope for in terms of catching cases before we have full blown outbreaks.
—k teacher in a school with multiple classes quarantined

A FIFTEEN-MINUTE dog pile?

Common sense that kids are exposed sitting in a classroom for a 7-8 hour day. Come on use the big brain

They get exposed, and we have an 86% vaccination rate. That’s how we will get to herd immunity.

There is a 0% vaccination rate in Elementary school for students. You may be ok with exposure and covid as you'll just send your sick kid to school but others are not.

The teachers and staff are vaccinated. That’s how you protect those kids by vaccinating adults. If kids get exposed the consequence is minimal to the kids. Get a grip your kids will be exposed to all kinds of viruses. There is a major RSV outbreak currently, no vaccine against RSV. Children’s ICU is full with RSV infections.

I hope we turn our attention ruin to an RSV vaccine next. Does the virus just not affect boomers or the elderly enough?

Hogan’s spokesperson said tests are available that MCPS could use?

Uh...this is not normal.

Yes, it is. Only difference is kids are masked. They should always have been sent home if sick.

except often they aren't masked in fact one of my kid hates the fact that one kid who sits next to him takes off his mask during every single class multiple times

As teachers told you last year it’s impossible to enforce and you can’t make someone mask just remind them 267,977 times

Are these Hogan’s tests from South Korea?

And cloth masks suck anyway, which is what most kids are wearing.

My kids cloth mask is 4 ply with adjustable bands and a changeable filter. #NotAllClothMasks

Yes even yours. We demand science yet don’t follow it. If you want better protection your kid needs a Niosh n95 or at the very least kn95 but parents would do that because Larlo doesn’t like it.

A cloth mask with a nonwoven filter is fine as long as it fits well. Look at some of the studies.

I peer reviewed several and work in a lab. I know it well. Good luck to you.

Ok, this means nothing. Some tests gave some cloth good reviews.

What are you even on about? It’s parents who want free childcare. Nice try though! We know you only learned in the last year you can’t stand your own children, so you take it out on everyone else. I hope you get better soon!

It means do your homework. Without proper fit and proper masks it literally doesn’t do much for your kid. Read publications if you need to. Cloth masks are pretty useless especially the surgically ones with gaps around the face.

You’re probably dealing w a microscopist who thinks that makes her an actual medical doctor. I wouldn’t worry.
