No, I look at it with my child's safety.  Its really not about my health issues as they aren't going away but i know i don't want to do anything to risk my kids having long term health issues as if you don't have them you really cannot understand it.  I don't get why you'd want to take the risk with your kids long term health?  If my child was able to be vaccinated it might be different but unvaccinated kids in a large group/mixing groups multiple times a day seems like a really bad idea.  [b]MCPS has had a year to make a reopening plan where it would be safe for our unvaccinated kids to return to.  [/b]News just announced a large group of unvaccinated kids getting covid at a sleep away camp (though the good news was that the vaccinated kids were ok).  [/quote]

MCPS is following the public-health advice. If that's not safe enough for you, then keep your child in Zoom school.[/quote]

No, they aren't.  [b]CDC is recommending at least 3 feet spacing and other safety measures in place.[/b]  MCPS cannot provide that especially in MS.[/quote]

That is incorrect. Here is the CDC recommendation:

[i]CDC recommends schools maintain at least 3 feet of physical distance between students within classrooms, combined with indoor mask wearing by people who are not fully vaccinated, to reduce transmission risk. When it is not possible to maintain a physical distance of at least 3 feet, such as when schools cannot fully re-open while maintaining these distances, it is especially important to layer multiple other prevention strategies, such as indoor masking.[/i]

In other words - 3 feet ONLY if it's possible to do that while fully reopening. If it's not possible to do that while fully reopening, then fully reopening is the priority, and there should also be masks.
