[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I'd say the difference is significant not only because of the numbers themselves (maybe double the dashboard, although 2 x a fairly low number is still a fairly low number), but also because of distribution of the cases (I know from other families that some are clustered).  I am grateful to the principal for keeping the school community informed, of course, but for those who are trying to observe patterns at a higher altitude, it would be good if the MCPS dashboard were . . . accurate-er.  I didn't know myself that the Google form was the key to dashboard registration.[/quote]

Ok, but I still don’t see how it practically makes a difference. Schools are open and will stay open. Kids will occasionally get covid, and the vast majority will be just fine. If you're not willing to accept the small risk that covid presents, then homeschool and isolate for the rest of your life.[/quote]

I can understand your perspective, but I am personally more aligned with the OP. A family might have something important coming up this weekend where getting covid this week would be supremely inconvenient. Knowing there is an outbreak in their child’s school or class they might ask the child to wear a more protective mask or even pull their child out of school in very specific cases. They might ask kids to rapid test before a sleepover if cases are higher. Some of us are still adjusting our behavior in response to level of community spread. I personally fully expect to get covid but I really wouldn’t want to test positive the day before my sister’s wedding for instance. [/quote]

You’re kidding yourself if you think we’re actually catching enough cases to be able significantly reduce the chance of exposure.[/quote]
