Please everyone.

Can you ignore the pronouncements of our public schools and just focus on the viral spread in our area?

We are not returning in buildings any time soon because our case numbers continue to rise far beyond any safe threshold.

MCPS and other school systems have mandates to plan for reopenings and inform the public of these plans. They are HUGE SHIPS that cannot react rapidly to current events. So when you receive an email about reopenings, you're seeing the culmination of team work that started months before. Just because cases are rising in our area doesn't mean MCPS will stop those projects. It's silly to read an email saying "Small groups in person on Feb 1st!" when we all know we'll be in even worse shape at that time, but please realize that MCPS knows it too! And is trying to course correct with the next email, which will get it wrong too. Viral spread is too fast for large public school systems, and they apparently haven't hired virologists, or are knowingly stringing people along for political reasons...

It is 100% certain that schools will not full open this academic year, because vaccinations will take at least half the year to make a significant dent into the viral spread.

We might see a small hybrid reopening towards the end of the year, when new cases go below the stated threshold.

Plan accordingly.
