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.

Why are you bothered by discussions?  Its silly to report.  The only ones to report is private school parent thinking they should have an opinion on MCPS based off what their private school does which is not relevant.[/quote]
