[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish that before re-opening the Mayor would order another 2-week lockdown, she did in the spring. Is anyone else worried that with all schools re-opening Feb 1st this virus will shoot up in DC? Even teachers who have been vaccinated will not have had their round 2 yet,  and there will be lots more kids to manage in a distance way all at once, many of whom it will be the first time practicing mask wearing etc. I am just worried we will go from bad to worse in DC, with just 5% of the population vaccinated--we are a LONG way from 'herd immunity'.[/quote]

No, I am not, because I have looked at the data and studies they have done of spread in schools, and I am confident that schools are not significant drivers of community spread.[/quote]

I have not seen any done on this scale, by a system as generally messed up as DCPS. So sue me that I have way more confidence in, IDK, Germany. I am a former teacher for DCPS (not recent), but what I saw in terms of management, hygiene, yikes. It doesn't appear that DCPS did much maintenance during this hiatus... why would you trust them? NY has been opening and closing schools like whack-a-mole. Not sure there is a case that our large, horribly managed public school systems CAN handle a wide spread reopening well. On top of the surge and the new COVID variants that are hyper-contagious, are we not just asking for trouble here?[/quote]
