[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Montgomery County is 98.9% vaccinated amongst those who are eligible.

When will we see adjustments to the quarantine policies that are putting an unnecessary burden on our kids and caregivers?  Who do we contact to get movement on this issue?[/quote]

Did you read the link you posted? It's for eligible residents who have received at least one shot. The percent of eligible residents who are [u]fully vaccinated[/u] is 90.1%.

MCPS has been adjusting its quarantine policies since school started, and I would expect MCPS to continue to do so.[/quote]

Even with one dose, people are protected against Covid.  [b]Either way you look at it, we are way past what they said we would need for herd immunity.[/b]  What is the goal at this point?

Plus, we know that kids in Montgomery County have been safe from Covid.  ZERO Covid deaths in kids age 0-19 since the beginning of this pandemic.

How are they justifying such strict quarantine rules in such a highly vaccinated county?

No, we are not. Rather self-evidently. There were 103 new positive cases in the county yesterday. There may be a case for loosing the quarantine rules, but "we've reached herd immunity" ain't it.

Yes, quarantine is tough on families, I'm sincerely sorry if it's been tough on yours.[/quote]

I thought herd immunity was the goal.  Is the goal now to have zero cases?

103 positive cases.  Out of over 1 million people.  That is a tiny number.
