[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Rest of the country?  The rest of the world.  Only wealthy districts in the dmv are kicking the can on this.[/quote]

So true. A few major cities too. Otherwise moving on with education. [/quote]

Actually, most are opening up. DC, Philly, NYC, Boston. All have hybrid plans in place. [/quote]
And this is something I, honestly, don't understand. NYC's school system is huge, kids and teachers take public transportation to get to class, and NY is still offering a hybrid. Philly, Boston are big districts, too. What's different there, virus-wise? Are their teachers somehow less prone to infection? [/quote]

If you look at the COVID stats, they have it under control. MD and VA do not. [/quote]
So, how come the biggest city in the country, along with other big cities, can control the epidemic and MD and VA cannot? If you can stop the spread in the island of Manhattan, with people on top of each other, why can't you stop the spread in Montgomery friggin county?
Honest question.[/quote]

Nobody knows.  Truly.  Nobody knows what the best strategy is,  the data is unclear and politics/the media have muddied up the picture.

NYC/NJ got hit SO hard in the beginning.  They got it sooner than we did here in the DMV.  Don’t you remember the Navy hospital ship Comfort had to go help out.  Remember the refrigerator trucks for the overflow of bodies?

Maybe the virus just has to get in there and run it’s course.  And the only thing we can do is try to make sure we keep the cases in check enough that there ar enough hospital beds.  [/quote]
