What are the numbers for the high, moderate, low, etc?

Test positivity in Arlington is back under 5%. School cases very low. If not now, when? [/quote]

They need to rethink how they are looking at the metrics.  If we continue to look at case numbers, we will never take off the masks.  In Arlington, we've been "low" for only one month in the last year.  Vaccines are widely available, we need to start looking at hospital impact not case count.  For vaccinated, this is risk at the same level as the flu, if not lower for kids.[/quote]

So this is APS saying children will mask forever in school. [/quote]

Under this system, masks are only required by APS when transmission levels are substantial to high.  When they are moderate, vaccinated people are recommended but not required to mask, and when we are in low transmission, APS does not care if vaccinated people mask at all.  If you’re unvaccinated, low transmission means masks as only recommended but not required.  So how does this policy translate into APS making students mask forever in your mind?[/quote]

Because APS will only be low or moderate in the summer when there is no school.  Look at this past year's data.  Moderate is unattainable and definitely unsustainable.  Masks forever is what APS wants.  Don't let it happen to your child.

The law is on your side to unmask March 1.  Don't wait for metrics that won't be reached. And APS knows it![/quote]

Moderate is 49 or below cases. We are well on our way to that. What does it matter anyhow, you can literally opt out.[/quote]
