[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]MCPS is still tracking reported cases. Reported being the operative word. And of course there is also flu and any number of other regularly circulating viruses that aren't tracked.

Thank goodness viruses like the flu are not tracked.

I don’t want MCPS wasting a cent of our taxpayer money tracking the flu.[/quote]

Denial must be a wonderful thing.[/quote]

Denial of what?  I’m not denying that the flu exists.  Not denying that Covid exists.

The point is that it is a waste of resources for MCPS to track cases of Covid in high schools.

Should the county still track deaths from Covid (and the flu)?  Yes, of course.

But there is no good reason for high schools to track the numbers of Covid cases.  Especially when we know that Covid is not a threat to otherwise healthy high school students.

Let’s not forget that ZERO kids age 0-17 have died of Covid in Montgomery County.

Interesting fact: in Japan when tracking cases they've seen a decrease in COVD but an increase in deaths from mild cases with no pneumonia. I think tracking is a good idea. You never know what we'll learn.[/quote]
