I have many questions about this. Will this affect the schools reopening and how will it affect Montgomery county and will other counties follow?

The state of emergency in DC is/was what allowed Bowser to keep restrictions in place, right? Or did I get that wrong?

State of emergency for what? The Covid plague DCUM insists doesn't exist?

Emergency declaration comes as case rates in Baltimore County have increased 376% since July 30

Baltimore county public schools don’t even open until the end of the month - just like DC.

Sh*tshow incoming.

? many on dcum acknowledge the pandemic. What are you talking about?

But many also acknowledge that kids need to be in school, with masks.

Those are two realities we have to deal with.

No, DCUM is very clear. There will never be any shutdowns, any stay-at-home orders, the pandemic is over.

And its only bad in Florida or Mississippi or Missouri etc and would never touch their zip codes.

No one thinks they won't open. The question is what happens as cases rise higher than they were even a year ago. And before you say 'no one's dying' we're back to 1,300 deaths a day in the United States, none of the vaccines are open to anyone younger than 12, and the ones that have been vaccinated have to be re-vaccinated between the 6th and 8th month mark.

DCUM is composed of thousands of people with wildly different opinions. We've got people convinced its over and people who are forcibly masking other people's kids at the playground. "DCUM is very clear" is basically always a wrong statement.

The consensus on these threads says otherwise and before you ask - I'm not the OP of any of them -

No, it won't. Politicians and local leaders are acutely aware that it's political suicide right now to close schools, even in the face of intense viral spread that a year ago would have closed schools no question.

But sadly, instead of pushing for rigorous contract tracing in schools, such as assigned indoor seating at lunch (which is crucial, since it's prime Delta-spreading time and this is where kids will most likely catch it), moving lunch outdoors whenever possible, ensuring each classroom has adequate ventilation and air filtration (which they don't, despite pretense to the contrary), and generally educating staff and students on how to wear their masks properly and how to choose a quality mask, everyone in charge is just standing there apathetically waiting for Covid surges to inevitably lead to mass quarantining and, at some point, close schools.
