[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most of the precautions from spring are gone. retail, grocery, etc is back to normal. costco is a madhouse, no wipes for your carts, malls are busy. I see people dining inside restaurants. people out and about. beer farms and wineries have lines to get in, kids doing sports, ...
for many people, it is almost business as usual except wear a mask.
considering all of the above, schools need to open.[/quote]

Thats exactly why we need to stay closed.  You clearly know how busy places are as you are going and you are part of the problem.  Bring your own wipes.

Not one person can suggest a clear plan to safely go back.[/quote]
the point is, even with people doing all of the above, the numbers have not skyrocketed. Require masks, hand wash/sanitize breaks, frequent cleaning of high touch surfaces.. HVAC in the schools is designed, to code, to circulate in outside air. 
but before doing any of the above, mcps needs to survey the parents to have an idea of which families are returning and which will do f2f. the fact that this hasn't happened proves that they have no idea what they are doing.[/quote]

The problem is that there's a very vocal part of the community mad about the numbers we're at. They can't do anything about bars, restaurants, and other businesses, so they're taking their anger out on kids and schools.[/quote]

Those vocal folks can do something.  They can behave in a way and make their own choices so we can go back.  They shouldn't need the government to tell them what to do.  They can do carry out only, shop for necessities only and limit social contact.  Instead they'd rather organize unsafe mass protests as they cannot handle their kids all day.  If we as a society decided schools were a priority things would look different.  I don't take anyone seriously who demand going back to school in person and their life choices don't reflect it.[/quote]

This. If everyone would:
-wear masks outside whenever they are near anyone else
-wear masks inside, unless it's in your own house
-stop all social gatherings 
-stop all travel
-stop all inside dining and drinking

The kids could go back to school. People refuse to do this, and parents are some of the biggest offenders, at least in my neighborhood.

If you aren't doing everything on the list above, education isn't really your priority. [/quote]
