Many many other countries have dealt with this [b]with covid numbers comparable to the dmv[/b] and rest of Northeast.  There really wasn’t much of an impact from schools opening.

Same poster, of course, AZ, TX, Fl and SoCal should not reopen schools until they get their numbers down to our levels.  But we don’t live there, we live on an area with an extremely competent covid response.[/quote]

Can you please name a country that has reopened schools without much of an impact from schools opening?

I would like to actually compare the rate of COVID spread in that country, with the rate of COVID spread in the DMV area, to evaluate this statement.

I'll start:  (note -- case rates are probably less right now in close in suburbs than in overall state but hard for me to access county numbers, plus since we don't have county border lockdowns what happens in one county affects all....)

DC -- 58 new cases per million people per day  (24% increasing)
MD State:  71 new cases per million per day  (18% increasing)
VA state:  71 new cases per million per day (13% increasing)

My understanding is that the schools reopening in European countries are in places where new cases per day are 1 to 3 new cases, per million per day.

Is that what you are seeing as well?  Or do you have different information?

WE NEED TO GET OUR SPREAD DOWN TO THAT LEVEL.

10 new cases per million per day at the highest.

That will protect teachers, office worker, grocery workers, UPS drivers, healthcare workers.

We need to stop arguing about how to reopen schools safely when spread is so high it is ridiculous.[/quote]
