[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is still tracking reported cases. Reported being the operative word. And of course there is also flu and any number of other regularly circulating viruses that aren't tracked.

Thank goodness viruses like the flu are not tracked.

I don’t want MCPS wasting a cent of our taxpayer money tracking the flu.[/quote]

Denial must be a wonderful thing.[/quote]

Denial of what?  I’m not denying that the flu exists.  Not denying that Covid exists.

The point is that it is a waste of resources for MCPS to track cases of Covid in high schools.

Should the county still track deaths from Covid (and the flu)?  Yes, of course.

But there is no good reason for high schools to track the numbers of Covid cases.  Especially when we know that Covid is not a threat to otherwise healthy high school students.

Let’s not forget that ZERO kids age 0-17 have died of Covid in Montgomery County.

Lets not forget MoCo has been really lucky  with child fatalities but its only a matter of time.  However, in MD, DC, and VA children HAVE died of covid as have their parents, and other relatives.  Lets not forget a child can bring home covid to a parent or caregiver and that can kill that parent or caregiver.  Its not just about the child, but the child being a carrier.

I don't care about death numbers at this point, I care about transmission.  I care about getting it.  You also don't seem to realize not all high schoolers are "healthy" nor are their family members so you need ot check your privilege.  [/quote]
