Exactly. Because I am in Germany right now and nobody here argues that opening schools is the reason for the uptick. Nor is anyone contemplating closing them again, unless there is a case at a school, in which case individual classes are quarantined. Schools have not been shown to be the source of community outbreaks. Don't you think the people in charge here are looking into that?[/quote]

But Germany hasn't spent 50 years (or more) building

-places where kids need a school bus to get to school 
-school buildings without windows that open (or without windows at all)[/quote]

Lots of kids get to school by bus in Germany. They are not school buses, but public transportation. Arguably, that poses a greater risk in terms of Covid.[/quote]

No, it doesn't pose a greater risk.

Also, you are missing the point. For schools to open, [b]MCPS [/b]has to figure out how to get kids to school [b]by school bus[/b]. That is a huge logistical obstacle that MCPS would not have if kids got to school by walking, biking, or public transportation.[/quote]

You don't think kids riding public transportation to school crammed together with a random assortment of adults every day is riskier than kids riding a bus with other kids only from their school? And you are basing this assessment on what?

You are right though that the fact that the school district itself is responsible for the transportation is an issue, because then they have liability. Liability is obviously a huge issue in a litigious society.[/quote]
