What are the numbers for the high, moderate, low, etc?

Test positivity in Arlington is back under 5%. School cases very low. If not now, when? [/quote]

They need to rethink how they are looking at the metrics.  If we continue to look at case numbers, we will never take off the masks.  In Arlington, we've been "low" for only one month in the last year.  Vaccines are widely available, we need to start looking at hospital impact not case count.  For vaccinated, this is risk at the same level as the flu, if not lower for kids.[/quote]

This chart is such utter BS.  Really.  So irritating.  They're going to try to shame us into keeping the masks on and they're hoping enough people will go along with it that families will feel pressured to keep it up.[/quote]

🙄 This isn’t shaming, it is a revision to APS’s policy as to when masks will be required vs recommended based on case metrics, subject to parent opt-out.  If anything, it is a relaxing of their prior strict masking requirement.  If you feel shamed by this, maybe you should consider what that says about your confidence in your own masking position.

Wow, it's super amazing that APS is going to only recommend masks when cases are next to nothing and also that they have acknowledged that parents have an option to opt out if they read the fine print.  A bold revision to their policy.

I feel very confident in my masking position.  My position is APS's position is out of touch with reality.  [/quote]
