[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]None of those positive cases are at school they’re all at home.  I’m sending my kid to school. He’s vaxxed and we are boostered.[/quote]

Sorry, but you're really dumb. I don't know if you're the one parroting this on every MCPS thread, or if there are a small number of really stupid dummies.

Schools are accelerators of Omicron spread, especially during lunch. The kids are sitting close together, hundreds in one crowded cafeteria, without masks, opening their mouths to eat and yell. Every day. What do you think's going to happen? It's way, way worse than any mass super-spreader event you could participate in outside of school, unless you took your household to an indoor concert venue and you all took off your masks. So people with Omicron are going to school, and spreading it rapidly to others students and staff.

And don't say it didn't happen before. It happened with Delta in September, but to a lesser extent because OMICRON IS 10 TIMES MORE TRANSMISSIBLE THAN DELTA.

Not the PP, but there is not a single scientific shred of evidence that schools are super spreaders.  Lunch time is not a super spreader event. The reason why cases have skyrocketed recently is because people were NOT in school, socializing, attending parties, going to the mall, going to restaurants, etc. and THAT'S how the virus is spread around. Not by attending school. [/quote]

This is just completely and utterly untrue. There is evidence that schools serve as locations of Covid transmission, especially during unmasked lunch time. Here is one study in Chicago which shows 40% of cases originating at schools.

Maybe they could just go to half days with no eating?[/quote]
