[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Why are we even arguing about 5 or 15 per 100,000 right now,[/b] when our numbers are triple or quadruple that at the moment? It was like 40 per 100,000 yesterday. The virus is everywhere. The focus right now should be on the governor getting this spiraling mess under control.[/quote]

Because this is the Hate On MCPS forum.[/quote]

No.  We expect MCPS to make decisions based on science.  Not on whims and ‘feelings’.

5 per 100K is ridiculous.

And at some point, we will be back down to 15 per 100K, so it makes sense to look ahead.  [/quote]

+1.  Now is the time to adopt reasonable metrics backed by the experts like the CDC.  There is no reason to wait until we hit that point to establish the metrics.[/quote]

MCPS' failure to follow any kind of scientific evidence is embarrassing.  Dr. Gayles still hasn't provided a rationale for these metrics, has he?[/quote]

It's impossible for him to provide rationale (at least credible rationale) because he's not an expert in this area. He may as well have rolled a D&D d20 and landed on a 5. That would have made more sense than anything he's offered up.[/quote]

LOL!  I mean, I agree with you, and that's the whole problem.  You have a bunch of parents with even less expertise than Dr. Gayles starting this petition, which then affects all of us.  I don't expect everyone to be an expert, but I would hope that most people know to ask for evidence before starting nonsense petitions like this one.[/quote]

Only you and Gayles believe he is the smartest person in the room.  You have not have noticed, this MoCo is very educated area with an inordinate amount of scientists, many of which are parents.  Gayles intellect needs to be questioned, because he is not following ALL OF THE OTHER SCIENCE. [/quote]

Um.  Who, exactly are you replying to?  If it's me (the PP directly above your response), you're completely misunderstanding my comment.[/quote]
