[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote]FWIW, there have been several Covid cases at our school over the past two weeks (all acquired outside of school), and none of the quarantined close contacts at school have tested positive. Looks like even delta isn’t just going to rip through masked classrooms.

Exactly. I'd like to see DC news outlets reports on this instead of just inane tweets about "800 KIDS IN QUARANTINE OMFG!!!" Are they even showing up to the Mayor's press conferences? Why not, you know ... ask? A PP posted some really valuable info explaining why the Johnson quarantine was so big -- would be great if reporters included that, you know, INFORMATION, in their NEWS articles. But that would require actually doing reporting as opposed to republishing tweets and out-of-context data reports.[/quote]

Would be great if the local media were reporting news that local families can actually use, by investigating things like what percentage of positives are due to staff versus students, and what percentage are due to unvaccinated staff, and whether DCPS plans to respond to that situation. Because last year there were lots of stories about how kids had to stay home from school to protect teachers from Covid, and it's weird that there are NO stories this year about adults who have chosen not to get a free, widely-available vaccine (for which they were given priority access!) and thus may be exposing children, including those under 12 who have no access to a vaccine, to Covid. Seems relevant! Everyone weirdly silent on this issue, including the people who protested school opening plans last year by putting body bags on the sidewalk.[/quote]

Yes. Very good point.

IMHO DC does not actually have a valid local media, so, there's that. What - DCist? Come one. WaPo is a joke when it comes to local it covers three states and poorly at that.[/quote]
