[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No. The vast majority of Arlington families at high hybrid selection schools are not being “extremely conscientious.”  You must just have conscientious friends.  Many, many families doing leisure travel, going to Disney etc etc.  [/quote]

The areas with higher hybrid selection (blue) have rates per 100K that are less than half the rates in 22204 (orange) where the hybrid selection rates are very low. There are various socioeconomic reasons for that, but the data is definitely showing much lower covid infection rates in the higher hybrid selection area. Clearly there aren't enough people getting Covid at Disney to impact that trend.

22213 and 22207 (very north ARL) have 1095 cases total (~2900 per 100k); while 22204 has 3437 (6315 per 100k).  It is true that the families in neighborhoods that have been impacted the most by COVID have decided to keep their kids home more so than choosing DL. It has impacted them and their neighbors more, they have multi generations to care for in their homes that they are concerned about infecting, some families have paired together because of work schedules (no sick leave) and do not want and cannot literally afford to infect each other. The reasons for wanting to keep their kids and families safe go on and on. On AEM, some parents were truly shocked that the 22204 neighborhoods wanted DL while 22207 wanted Hybrid. One thing is for sure, we are learning more and more about the disparities in our county.

I think that pre Pandemic most sentient beings were well aware of the grotesque, nauseating disparities in Arlington.[/quote]
