[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lordy DCPS’ about face on what’s safe is staggering. I’m trying to be guided by facts not emotion, but I’m much more nervous sending my kid in this fall than I was last January.[/quote]

+ a million   I sent my kid happily in February but I’m more concerned about now.[/quote]

Why's that?[/quote]

I’m the PP. Am I the only one watching the news?  And the news that there are not pediatric hospital beds because of Covid?  [/quote]

I have been exceedingly cautious since the beginning of COVID (including not being in favor of reopening schools in-person last spring and indoor masking continuously), but context is critical here. The places experiencing shortages of pediatric beds are in places where vax rates are low and masking mandates are non-existent (and often prohibited by law). That’s not the case in DC. Universal indoor masking + higher vax rates create a different context. [/quote]

Marginally different. 
Under-12s are equally unvacc'ed.
12-17 are undervacc'ed[b]
We have stripped schools of so much of each layer of the multi-layered mitigation that DCPS is starting to sound like low-key DeSantis with a thin chippable top-coat of not-DeSantis safety.[/b]
We have enough unvaccinated people overall, and enough virus circulating right now, to basically get in 3 weeks' time where TX is now.[/quote]

What do you mean (^ bolded)?[/quote]
