[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree we are peaking or past peaking. And we are special because our vaccination rates are so high. We are the opposite end of the spectrum from Texas and Florida's vaccination rates [/quote]

The only way we're going to actually know if we peaked is when the cases start going down consistently. It should be noted that we're about the same level as we were in the fall of 2020 before we saw the huge peak during November-January. I don't anticipate the caseload getting as high as it did last year due to the overall level of vaccinated individuals in the county but I I don't think it's going to get better anytime soon.

I cannot f****** wait for the pediatric vaccine to get approved[/quote]

Given the zero-risk mentality that is so pervasive in MCPS, I have little confidence that will be enough.  It won't matter if very few kids are actually getting sick.  Raw case counts combined with the occasional national news story about a kid with a breakthrough infection will be us stuck in this loop for a long time.[/quote]

This. Parents are gullible if they believe once their children are vaccinated the needle will move appreciably. The drumbeat of “but you can still COVID even when vaccinated” will start for kids just like it had for adults. We are going to have to fight to keep kids in school for years to come sadly.[/quote]

Except MCPS said their own policy was that you don't have to quarantine if you are vaccinated. So at least my vaccinated kid can still go to school if another classmate has a symptom and if she has to get a negative test we can run her up to a kaiser drive though clinic and get the results within 8-10 hours.[/quote]
