Thinks he’s above the CDC guidance for his personal international travel yet talks MCPS into a policy stricter than what the CDC recommends for students.  Jerk.[/quote]

Gayles is gone. Keep up. Time to blame someone else. Maybe Obama?[/quote]

gayles is gone on September 12. Per Bethesda Beat this was his guidance. [/quote]

I figured he left since the policy was more about politics than public health.[/quote]

He’s been more about politics than public health since the beginning.[/quote]

Forcing schools closed is bad politics. Not surprising, though. Bad doctor, bad leader...bad politician.[/quote]

It shouldn't be about politics, it should be about kids safety, their families safety and our communities safety.[/quote]

How odd that never mentioned education there. Are one of those people that thinks school is just child care?[/quote]

If I thought school was just child care, why are my kids in virtual academy.  No, it should be about safety.  Its not, so we choose not to send our kids back as we care about their health, our health and the overall situation.  MCPS is not following any best practices beyond masking.  No distancing, no testing and they aren't being transparent with notifying of covid positives.  [b]If anything he failed us by being so lax on allowing schools to open in full with very large numbers of students.[/b][/quote]

Just shutup. Every district in the country opened up. Go back to your VA, click some links, and be happy you even have that.[/quote]

Its truly sad you don't care about anyone, not even your own kids.  [/quote]

EVERY district opened! Nobody is buying your crap any more. It's truly sad how one dimensional you are.[/quote]

And at least 45 districts have already closed again in Texas alone.

This PA district closed Friday https://www.pennlive.com/coronavirus/2021/09/millersburg-schools-closed-due-to-covid-concerns.html
Others are desperately looking for a way to pivot to virtual or at least hybrid. [/quote]

When all else fails, dig up a Texas story. Those districts opened. They’ll temporarily close, then reopen. If the MCPS clown show attempts a 2020-21 repeat, they’ll be in near exclusive company. [/quote]

It’s not just Texas. It’s happening all over the US in places people insist on acting like covid is no big deal. Even some FL districts are closing. [/quote]

And they will reopen. Working as intended. Aside, Delta is starting to peak/post-peak. This is not an event that will carry through the school year. [/quote]

I agree that mcps will not go all virtual and I agree they shouldn’t. But it is not the case that kids cases have peaked and are coming down. If you disaggregate the case data by age, even in Texas and Georgia, they haven’t reached the too yet.[/quote]

The WSJ just reported a surge in child cases that they connect to schools reopening.[/quote]

So?[/quote]
