I think MCPS is being over cautious, but in the name of trying to avoid a systemwide shutdown. [/quote]

Why would there be a systemwide shutdown?[/quote]

It’s spreading at a lively clip. [/quote]

Is it?

Montgomery County covid dashboard says:

92.51 new cases per 100,000 residents (seven-day average), declining
2.7% test positivity (seven-day average), declining
-7.6% change in cases compared to previous seven-day period (i.e., declining)
71.7% of hospital in patient beds occupied
74.0% of hospital ICU beds in use
8.8% of hospital beds occupied by patients with covid

Shhh....don't let facts get in the way of the narrative.

THE SKY IS FALLING!![/quote]

I was reading that some school districts in Texas are closing down if the test positivity rate goes above 5%.  Obviously Texas is a different situation than us regarding mask use and vaccination, but I wonder how far away we might be from going to hybrid or virtual.   The state has not released any metrics for this.[/quote]

Being vaccinated is not stopping COVID from spreading.  The vaccination helps you fight covid when you get it.  [/quote]

Right.

Which is why the best thing we could do is stop tying policy/responses to cases or case count.  Hell, we should stop reporting on it.
