[quote=Anonymous]As a parent of children in both MCPS and daycare, there have been similar patterns on the part of public officials of proposing non-evidence-based and confusing policies and then retracting them. Remember the policy at the start of the school year that the whole class had to quarantine if any student had a symptom until the symptomatic student produced a negative test? That was a departing gift from Dr. Gayles. Then the color coded system for pivoting schools to virtual? Then the different, more qualitative metrics? Those were under Dr. Stoddard's watch.

A similar pattern is playing out with childcare guidelines. The state released guidelines and DHHS released a memo saying their were adopting the guidelines. Then they retracted the memo and released a new memo littered with contradictions and seemingly stricter guidelines that has confused daycares and parents.

I know we are dealing with a difficult and changing situation, but there is no excuse for this level of incompetence. What could be behind these patterns? The commonality both situations is DHHS. And who appoints the health officers? The county executive. Is this the best we can do in MoCo?[/quote]
