[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So the mall Chick Fillet, Starbucks, rio, Cabin John, movie theaters, downtown Bethesda, Rockville pike will be packed with kids eating fast food and hanging out rather than in class.

Exactly how is this better? [/quote]

No need to exaggerate. Many kids stay home all day including my teenagers. Too much computer and phone time but not socializing in person [/quote]

Enjoy your bubble as I sit in Starbucks right now picking up coffee and kids are here already on their iPhones [/quote]

NP.

How many kids? What percentage of the MCPS population?

Hm, let's see...

180,000 kids and staff in MCPS

Probably 150,000 who would have been in school today, average 30 people per classroom for 5-6 hours + 25-400 people maskless in the same room at lunch, for < an hour.

5%? 10%? 20%? (seems high) of ~70,000 MS/HS kids and very few ES kids gallivanting at packed malls (lol, malls) and fast food places for... how many hours at a time, how many maskless hours? An hour, like they'd be at lunch?

So that's 15,000 on the very high end out doing their Bethesda rumspringa

plus

135,000 kids at home or just outside playing or otherwise not sowing their wild Starbucks oats NOR being in schools with hundreds of other people during the height of pandemic spread. Just chillin', with an infinitesimal chance of spreading COVID.

Hm.

If I were omicron, which would I prefer? Do you really think a snow day is measurably BETTER at spreading COVID?[/quote]

Most kids are just playing snow now. [/quote]
