[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just drove by a middle school and saw at least 40 girls at a soccer practice.  Kids are at camp and pools all over the county.

Not having in person school - at a MINIMUM just for elementary - is beyond insane in these circumstances.  Totally not justifiable.[/quote]

Because that stuff is happening OUTSIDE!  Really, how hard is this?[/quote]

Not all camps are outside.[/quote]

The difference is in the absolute numbers. Students plus staff = almost 200,000 people = roughly one *fifth* of MoCo residents. Sure, they will not all be in one place, but the probability that an outbreak will happen is so much higher. [/quote]

Roughly four-fifths of MoCo is [i]currently[/i] out and about, not in one place.[/quote]

First of all, no they are not. A great many people are still working from home and severely limiting their interactions and the time spent outside the home. Which is what everybody should be doing unless you are an essential worker. Second, they are not sitting in poorly ventilated rooms with a bunch of other people with questionable ability to keep their masks on. Third the PPs were specifically invoking camps and comparing them with school. The number of kids currently in in-person camps is minuscule compared to the number of public school students. [/quote]
