Every single time a country or region around the world has reopened their schools, cases have skyrocketed.

And yet trolls on the DCUM school fora still want to open schools.

Unfortunately, the Western Maryland Counties are not mask compliant and much of the population is not concerned about the virus. Alleghehy County, where things are worst, only started bringing young kids back at the beginning of October, grade by grade, so the huge spike cannot be attributed to the school population. Frostburg, maybe, but not the public schools.

Interestingly, just about every county in Maryland has seen their numbers surge beginning shortly after the end of September. Given that most of the large districts did not return their students to the classrooms, reopening schools cannot be the driver. If only it were possible to identify other factors that align with the surge, like. . . . loosening of restrictions, expanded indoor dining, etc. Al of these things happened at the state level, and things went downhill from here. If nothing else, I hope we will learn for the next time that reopening needs to happen in stages, with time in between each stage to determine what the impact will be. [/quote]
