[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think they’re just going to start off in the fall similarly to how they ended in the spring. If there’s a surge, you may not have a bus driver and your kid may be sitting in an auditorium being babysat with 100 others not really learning if enough staff are out sick. Unless the cdc gets rid of the 5 day isolation, mcps won’t change that procedure. [/quote]

Can you imagine the spread of covid if they do the auditoriums given  this variant is far more contagious?  How quickly will they  be posting here complaining abotu that.  [/quote]

Absolutely.  I am on  day 5 of Covid right now and if I were your kids teacher, I would be coughing all over them in class tomorrow.[/quote]

Fine by me. Stay home if you feel sick otherwise go to work. We’ve got to move on.[/quote]

What does moving on mean?  Being selfish and not caring about anyone but yourself.   Not caring who you pass covid onto and the impact it has on someone else.  MCPS clearly failed with their mental health seminars in terms of empathy.[/quote]

Nope.  It means understanding that people will catch and transmit Covid regardless of what mitigation efforts are occurring.  Even with vaccines, testing, masks - people still catch Covid.

You are right that some posters here do appear to need to some help with their anxiety and mental health issues.  It’s been hard when people have been in fear since 2020 - it is hard to realize that the US has indeed ‘moved on’. [/quote]

If you cannot understand the severity of covid, maybe you should get your mental health checked.  Moving on shows a clear lack of judgement and in MCPS basic precautions are needed.

You've moved on so much that we are experiencing a surge.  So, we have you to thank for spreading covid to the rest of us.[/quote]

There’s no “surge.” This is just what endemic covid looks like. And it looks fine.[/quote]

Yes, there is a surge right now.   It does not look or feel fine.  Denial must be wonderful for you.[/quote]

How many families do you know with covid right now or within the last 2 months?

My entire department with the exception of me and another staffer got it/have it.

Only 1 of 20+ had bad symptoms. One. And that person still said it wasn’t as bad as the flu.

Are we surging in terms of number of cases? Sure.

But what’s the severity? It’s less severe. Just as the experts predicted, covid has become more widespread but less severe. We know how to manage it.

Deep breaths. It’s ok. Truly. [/quote]

It’s definitely less severe. I work with an 85 year old woman whose 92 year old brother currently has it. He’s got mild symptoms, NBD.[/quote]
