[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What about high school graduation? Whitman graduation is tomorrow at 9am at the school [/quote]

A few hours won't kill you.  It won't have any long term impact.

You'll be slightly uncomfortable for a few hours.  That's it[/quote]

This.  Seriously.  I hope they don't cancel high school graduation for this.  People who are concerned can wear a mask.  Or stay home and watch a live stream.  [/quote]

People who are graduating can't stay home and watch a live stream.[/quote]

They can wear their KN95 or N95 masks.  If they cancel high school graduation, when do you think they'll reschedule it for?  Unlikely it even happens or it will be a depressing virtual event.  Let the kids have their graduation.  [/quote]

How great is it that people have N95 masks because we made individual people responsible for protecting themselves from a public health problem, which they can now use for a [u]different[/u] issue where we're making individual people responsible for protecting themselves from a public health problem![/quote]

Um, the county was giving out N95 masks FOR FREE. Sorry you missed that. It would be good if they supplied them again for this.[/quote]

This is not about who paid for the masks. This is about the type of response to a public health problem. "Everything as normal, but people who don't feel safe can choose not to attend, or to wear a mask" puts the responsibility on the individual.[/quote]

Things were not “normal” for a long time, particularly in this area.  MCPS did not let anyone in the schools for a year.  And when they did open up to in person, they gave you, and continue to give you, the virtual option you demanded.  Making everyone else continue in virtual to appease a few who couldn’t handle the choice would have been the epitome of selfish and stupid.[/quote]

Who is "you" here? I'm the PP you're responding to, and I wanted MCPS to be in person in August 2020, with open windows/air purifiers, mandatory masks, and testing.[/quote]

And you are getting in person. Mask your kids.  [/quote]
