[quote=Anonymous]Former HIV immunology researcher and current MCPS teacher here:

A couple of points:
Vaccines are not perfect.  You hope for at least 70% effectiveness to release.  For some age groups the vaccines may not be effective.  We may need seasonal vaccines if the corona virus has new strains similar to flu.  We are already seeing new strains in the wild.

I don't feel safe in a classroom with students.  The reality is that students will challenge any guidelines we set up.  Students are not very reliable at following social distancing or washing hands. Some can't keep their hands off each other.    I am concerned about staff that are high risk and the family of students that are high risk.

I don't think 7-12th grades should return to school for these reasons.  I think the younger grades should return and spread out in all the classrooms with the option for staff to opt out and teach remotely as hybrid model.  I also think ESOL, 504, and IEP students should return.  Basically all learning should be online but students in the classes have adult supervision and stay in class together all day.   I have no idea how buses would work though.  The students are all over each other in the lines and on the buses.[/quote]
