Because we wanna go to bars and restaurants and the beach and not wear masks more than we want to get case counts low enough to get kids back in schools.

Here's my new favorite tool: Event risk assessment "The risk level is the estimated chance (0-100%) that at least 1 COVID-19 positive individual will be present at an event in a county, given the size of the event"
Today, for a 10 person event (ES classroom) there is a 10% chance that one of the people there is COVID-19 positive. For a 100 person event (7 HS classes) there is a 65% likelihood that someone will be COVID-19 positive. When we get case counts low enough that the chance is <1%, then lets talk about sending kids back. Until then, stop blaming MCPS for the problem.[/quote]

If you're going to assess risk, don't assess the risk that there will be somebody in the building with you who has covid. Assess the risk that you will actually get covid from somebody in the building with you who has covid. And if you're wearing a mask, and this person who may or may not be in the building with you is wearing a mask, the risk that you will actually get covid is very low.[/quote]

Then I really hope all the parents who are gunning for their kids to go back to school full-time are teaching them how to wear masks for 7 hours a day at a time because I really wouldn't bet on five year olds knowing how to wear masks properly. In nine years I've had one kindergarten student who knew how to sneeze into her elbow (And she was the daughter of a teacher). [/quote]
