[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it makes sense to revisit masks once numbers come down - which should be soon.

But it was a total dick move for Youngkin to force it mid-surge.

Why does he want to pick this particular fight with NOVA right out of the gate?  He could throw it to local control and move on. Federal disability law is on FCPS’s side. He will lose. And in so doing, he scare a bunch of moms and will remind everyone in NOVA right before the midterms that Rs are morons right before the midterms. [/quote]

Maybe he thinks most parents in NOVA know the data on the (barely there) impact of Covid on children and the data on the effectiveness of vaccines—and are ready to stop pretending that the vaccines don’t work.  All this insistence on masking is just more science denial.

Well, he’s missing the part where my senior has 18 weeks of high school left and 4 weeks of robotics build season (after two full seasons were scratched) and even if she gets mildly ill, that’s another two weeks she can’t be in school. And APs and senior sports seasons and prom and school plays and graduation.  All of which get paused or cancelled or moved virtual with unchecked spread.

My older kids’s SLAC had good surveillance testing. They went from 4 cases of Omicron to 156 in 48 hours before Christmas break. Freshman dorms mostly, because the upperclassmen had learned the deal in 2020-2021, while the freshmen had been DL seniors and never really took masking seriously (so says my kid anyway).   And the campus is 99% vaxxed and was about 80% boosted.  If your second grader wants to unmask, Go with God.  But good luck keeping teachers in a cesspool.

My HS kids need to do everything they can to salvage one year. It ice to see my kid running in and out of the house on her way to this event and that meetup.  If the mask gets her to graduation amd saves her senior year, I’ll take it. [/quote]
