[quote=Anonymous][quote]Right. Somehow, it's okay for my kid, who is in DCPS, to go skiing in Wisp (since it's just barely inside Maryland), but not Snowshoe (which is just barely outside of Virginia). You can go party in Ocean City, Maryland, but not Dewey Beach, Delaware.

These rules stopped making sense a long time ago. We pretty much ignore them.

You and many other people, which is why covid continues to spread.

You do not understand how Covid spreads.

clearly neither do you.

Actually I do...

- Living with the case, especially sleeping in the same room, attending family/friend gatherings, and dining were found to have a higher risk for transmission
- Poor ventilation and crowding have been suggested to be factors in numerous transmission clusters, including those in bars, churches, and night clubs, karaoke bars [22, 23]. By contrast, such events have rarely occurred outside, and then only in the context of high levels of crowding. 
- The largest outbreaks from across the world have been reported in long term care facilities such as nursing homes, homeless shelters, prisons, and workplaces including meat-packing plants and factories 
- preventing onward transmission requires immediate self-isolation at the onset of symptoms - not asymptomatic spread
- There is a strong association between socioeconomic deprivation, ethnicity and a higher risk of infection [47, 48]. People facing the greatest socioeconomic deprivation experience elevated risk of household and occupational exposure
- the virus may be transmitted at a distance more than 2 m through aerosols [63]. These include prolonged stay in crowded, poorly ventilated indoor settings. 
- transferring infection from contaminated surfaces to the mucosa of eyes, nose, and mouth via unwashed hands is a possible route of transmission.

So, not super worried about kids playing maskless outdoors.
