[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does MCPS and the BOE have a plan for the spike in COVID after Winter Break? Cases are already spiking across the entire school system after Thanksgiving. Combine that with out of state travel plans during Winter Break, it’s going to be a sh$t show of COVID spread in January.[/quote]

If if the case rate is already spiking, then hooray, the next thing to happen is that the case rate will come down again. Or did you mean that the case rate is increasing?

I'm old enough to remember all the way back to August 2021, when every second post on DCUM solemnly averred that MCPS was going to be a huge mess within 2 weeks of school starting.[/quote]

Also, how do you know cases are rising?  MoCo data hasn't been updated in 10 days.  State data is only current for hospitalizations.  The local case could have plummeted (unlikely).  But you can't also assert that cases are spiking if the data hasn't been updated since 12/4[/quote]
It makes for a better gripe narrative, obvs.[/quote]

Really? You want to hang your hat on the argument that the explained absence of data suggests that cases have gone down? We don't have the data, and that is a problem. However, it's been over 10 days since the data became inaccessible, and hospitalizations have been rising at a steadly clip. Given that hospitalizations are a lagging indicator, that suggests that cases have been rising over this period.

I don't know if MCPS has been reporting the number of positive tests, but Howard and Anne Arundel County public schools have, and both have seen a tremendous increase with the highest number of positive cases so far this year. [/quote]

No.  In fact, I even said its unlikely.  But you're hard to take seriously when you say "Cases are SPIKING" when they aren't currently reporting case counts...[/quote]
