[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ve heard it is going to be ALL.  Not yet announced. [/quote]

Yup seems like that’s what the plan is.. no way the red schools will be yellow or green after 14 days. If anything the yellow and green will be red soon. Its all virtual for everyone. MCPS ruins another year of learning for our kids. Especially the younger elementary and special needs students. [/quote]

What kind of looney tune wants to send a kid into a school with that much COVID? Weirdo. COVID is ruining things, not MCPS.[/quote]

What kind of idiot thinks COVID is more of a threat to kids than mental illness resulting from nearly two YEARS of chronic stress?

Clueless people are ruining our kids.  Not COVID.[/quote]

NP. It clearly isn't more of a threat to kids. But what I am worried about is kids bringing it home to the rest of the household, some percentage of whom will get at least moderateiy ill and some percentage of whom are ninnies who think "I might have Covid" is a good use of the ER, thus causing an onslaught for already burned-out healthcare workers. Who are getting sick, calling out, or quitting all over the country at unsustainable rates that affect the whole system and leave non-Covid patients up a creek with substandard care or canceled procedures. Is hoping that maybe we could exercise some judgment about not sending the whole school system into Covid soup to all get sick at once so onerous and misguided? This will burn through in a few weeks anyway. I really feel like we're almost at the end of this; omicron is going to massively build up the native immunity along with vaccines and successive variants are going to be more nothingburgers. We just have to not be total uncaring morons for another few weeks. There's a middle ground somewhere between the overcautiousness of last year and the wanton recklessness of now and we haven't found it. [/quote]

Ok, but if you’re that worried about your kids brining Covid home from the Covid soup you describe, you should t send them back in two weeks either. You’ll need to keep them home another two weeks after that because that’s when it would burn through the schools. Clueing for two weeks just puts off the inevitable.

I have to admit, with an essential worker spouse who worked in person throughout the pandemic, I have a hard time relating to people who view schools as the riskiest thing out there.[/quote]
