[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a couple friends who have plans to move their kids out of MCPS for this coming year if they stay with the current model. Moving in with relatives in other school districts that plan to be open in the fall.[/quote]

Well, they will have to move far away to have that kind of a "guarantee."[/quote]

In Maryland, Montgomery, PG, and Baltimore are hit the worst, in terms of per-capita case rates. Then there's second-tier adjacent counties like Frederick and Anne Arundel. After that, all the remaining counties in MD are doing pretty well (OK, one breakout in the chicken processing plants on Delaware border, but that's isolated).

Virginia is similar -- NoVA hit the hardest, then all the rest of VA is pretty good. Plenty of places where it's a lot more likely they'll be open for school this fall.[/quote]

Don’t get why you say the chicken processing plant outbreak is isolated, but the outsized fatality impact from nursing homes in MoCo isn’t?

Also, you need to educate yourself on the death rate a bit. Kent has a higher per capita death rate than MoCo. Add to that the fact that 72% of MoCo’s confirmed deaths are among nursing home residents (not community spread, unlike the processing plant outbreaks) and MoCo really hasn’t been hit as hard as Elrich and Gayles would like you to think.

I don't get why you see that chicken plants are community spread but nursing homes aren't.[/quote]

Just going by what Hogan’s team is doing. But what do they know? I should listen to you instead. [/quote]
