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?

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.

Being vaccinated is not stopping COVID from spreading.  The vaccination helps you fight covid when you get it.  [/quote]
No. Vaccines do slow spread. [url]https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2021/08/421171/how-dangerous-delta-variant-heres-what-science-says[/url]

[I]A recent analysis of breakthrough cases among UCSF employees and staff since Delta's rise showed that unvaccinated people remain five times more likely to become infected than people who are vaccinated, and 25 times more likely to be hospitalized.[/I][/quote]
