[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was going the other way, that isolation/quarantine time was being reduced. [/quote]

Cases are increasing. Why would there be fewer or lesser restrictions?[/quote]

[b]True cases are increasing but hospitalizations and deaths are not. The science is showing that a five versus 10 day quarantine doesn’t make much of a difference.[/b] Obviously none of us want our children to get Covid!  But we’re no longer living in a close the schools/require masks environment. Arlington and Fairfax just reduced their isolation time, makes sense other school systems would follow suit.[/quote]

Exactly.

And let’s not forget that ZERO kids age 0-17 have died of Covid in Montgomery County.  There is no justification for putting any restrictions on our kids at all at this point.

Let’s go back to making public policy decisions based on actual data and not just CNN-stoked fear and emotion.[/quote]

What does zero deaths in the county have to do with the discussion.  You need new talking points.

If we are looking at actual data it makes sense to go back to masking and distancing as numbers are up.  [/quote]

Because we are talking about whether we need to reimpose restrictions on kids.  It is very relevant to note the numbers of deaths in kids, due to Covid, when we are decisions whether to impose restrictions/mandates ON KIDS in schools.

If you do not see that connection, then you clearly should not even be involved in this discussion as you have no understanding of public health policy.

Like the other PP said, we need to balance the harm to kids of importing restrictions/mandates on kids against the risk to those kids.  And it is clear that there is no good reason to impose any restrictions/mandates on our kids at this point.  [/quote]
