[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I voted for Elrich, I phone banked for dems in 2018, Im a bleed blue progressive. Larry Hogan is looking real good for having kept MCPS from falling into an indefinite virtual hole and I wish he’d do more for quarantine-happy daycares.

[b]Frankly I know a lot of parents who would vote for nazis right now if they could keep daycares and schools open[/b].[/quote]

That is my fear - that you are correct.

But you're also pushing a false story line.  No one is arguing that schools SHOULD NOT be in-person.  Every parent does want normalcy and in-person learning.  The argument is that LIMITED DURATION / TEMPORARY virtual learning should be enabled during covid flareups and for those without resources or recourse, some type of in-person option is available (provided they're not infected).

The main question here is [b]what gives YOU the right to dictate MY CHILD must be exposed to covid?[/b]

Agree there are parents WITH covid or WITH infected children that still want or need to go to work and spread it to others.  For them, that is who the Federal and/or State Government SHOULD have offered stimulus checks to (or at least provided rent coverage, food delivery, daycare for children when adults become sick, health check-on's for infected individuals, etc.).  Did this happen?

Politicians and decision-makers throughout the county are trying to paint over the problems and wishing that this is a short-term problem.  The gamble is that if they hold out long enough, all of this will just go away.  And it might.  One possibility is that past March this will all go away, if historical models hold true.  However, there is a difference between now and then.  The world is much more interconnected now.  Just as there are ripples in a small pond, a large lake has much richer dynamics.  We have to remember there is no such thing as a localized covid issue.  As long as there are pockets in the world of unvaccinated immunocompromised individuals, there is the possibility of variants re-emerging.

I really hope that covid will be over by March, but my analytical side says the math is stacked against it.  We can choose to make deliberate, methodical and measured plans; or keep shooting from the hip with our head in the sand.  In the mean time, as parents see their children endure infection after infection, they too will become desensitized and stop caring what happens to their own children, and drag down my children with them.[/quote]

And, what gives YOU the right to keep my kid at home?

You have had the option of Virtual and still have that option.  The rest of us want the option of in-person school.  [/quote]
