Who are the people to contact at the county level? I think my preschool and others will struggle to go against a strongly worded recommendation regardless of what they think. I can’t find an email address for dr. Bridger and it doesn’t seem the permanent position is going to be filled anytime soon[/quote]

Well, we are mostly privileged compared to the child care workers. But, you don't formulate public health policy based on what the less privileged party wants. Look at the health-related benefits and risks of the policy, and make a recommendation. This should not be about what your preferred stakeholder wants.[/quote]

I’m not even sure how many childcare workers are even pushing for this?

This is what I found for Dr. Bridgers: mailto:james.bridgers@montgomerycountymd.gov.  As for who else would be relevant 
, I’m not are but there are other staff, maybe ek wine else would know.

I recommend using the email addresses that come up in this county employee directory. https://www2.montgomerycountymd.gov/mcgportalapps/searchphonebook.aspx

Also copy in Earl Stoddard. Also your local Councilmember and his staff plus Council President Gabe Albornoz (and his staff) as well as Councilmember Andrew Friedson and his staff. Friedson seems the most concerned with these types of issues. Albornoz is the chair of the HHS committee.[/quote]

Just wanted to chime in that although I did not think to copy the councilmember staff members, I actually got a reply from someone in Friedson's office saying he wants DHHS to align with the CDC/state on this stuff.  So he is definitely a good one to encourage to keep speaking up about this.

I don't know if any of this will make a difference but at least I can say I tried.[/quote]
