[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  I stayed quiet for a bit to see what conversations took place and I noticed two things.

1.  Totally glossed over the point that last January required shutting down schools due to sick teachers, staff and bus drivers.  The point was that schools would have to shut down again if it's as bad as last year, so say all you want how you need schools open.  But a school is only a building.  Without teachers and bus drivers, it's really not a school.

2.  No.  MCPS is not telling the truth.  Multiple infections occurred.  Infections were tested.  Parents were notified (they had to be - the school couldn't conceal it - it was way too visible an issue).  I took another capture of the reported numbers (again, that claims to show the last seven days worth of data).  Yes, I have the proof, so I'm pretty comfortable that no one at MCPS would be dumb enough to challenge it or claim I'm not telling the truth since others also know.  But whatever.  Keep telling yourself whatever little white lie helps you sleep at night.

I get the people who are clinging to the idea there's no issue.  I don't want there to be an issue either.  But I took a hard look at the numbers.

Anyone notice anything unusual about today's data and the exact same time period last year?  It's the same pre-Christmas bump, but this year we're higher.

If we're very lucky, maybe it's a fluke and there will be no massive January spike.  But since the "tripledemic" is already a thing, if it happens, will you all be blogging how no one could have predicted the issue?

Please.

If they sent out notifications to parents, then it sure doesn’t sound like they’re concealing it.[/quote]

Op what do you expect the dashboard to accomplish?  It didn’t change anything last year.  And what motive would the school have to lie about it as you suspect?  I think a lot of students and teachers are masking now, I don’t think any responsible person is willing to force virtual learning again given the toll on the kids.  You seem to see a massive conspiracy here but I’m not clear that there’s any high stakes decisions that would be affected by your claims.  We’d probably be better off handing out free N95 masks in classes with those resources rather than maintaining the dashboards. [/quote]

Yes, the dashboards are an indicator to some (conciencious) people who actually do change their behavior when they are aware there is an ongoing issue.  Other parents might (unlike a self-centered person like yourself) actually may encourage their kids to mask if they know there is an issue.

But it's clear exactly what you are, so my expectations for people like you are not high at all.  If there was a another serious outbreak, you wouldn't care, would you?  If a senior teacher died, it's just accidental - not your fault, right?  No worries - there are a lot of people like you in DC.[/quote]
