[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non-DC area responses aren't really helpful.  [b]DC has been way more cautious than elsewhere in the country. [/b] Went to Target yesterday and 75% of people were masking in MoCo.  I am the poster in the K-8 that announced starting the school year with masks.  I am not completely surprised given the protocol at the camp and other area camps at schools (from talking to my friends and having my kids at a couple, some are mask required, some are mask optional).  I expect teachers are going to mask if they haven't gotten covid yet.  I would like my kids to have a choice, definitely not have to wear them outside and adjust if this next wave shows up.  I am skeptical of the wave.  I know so many people who have had covid in the last few weeks.  All people who hadn't had it yet.  But the cases aren't reported.  The tide has been high all summer.  And covid is coming for everyone it missed.[/quote]

To what end? Have they fared any better as a result?[/quote]

Nope [/quote]

I am the above poster, and actually, DC has fared better in deaths per capita than most states (43 out of 52 - https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm).  So, it worked when it needed to.  My view is now that there are vaccines, my kids do not need to wear masks in school.

And to the poster who said who said we will be playing the covid lottery again, maybe I will change my behavior when I hear of actual people I know getting covid again.  At this point, more than 75% of the people in my big circle of co-workers, family and friends have gotten covid.  None of them have gotten it twice.  I will choose to play the lottery if it means my kids no longer miss out on seeing faces, travelling, family get togethers and weddings, playdates, birthday parties, museums, not being cohorted in a small group in school, field trips, so many things.  They add up.  They missed out on a lot. They got covid.  They are fine.  I don't want them to miss out on so much more.[/quote]
