[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do people keep talking about there being little to no spread in schools "all year, so far" when we know that omicron is 10x more contagious?

While kids seem to be less likely to be superspreaders, they're also less vaccinated.

Your numbers from other strains are very weak and incomplete evidence.

Not to mention that it's easier to go outside for lunch in every season but winter-- which is the only season we haven't experienced in MCPS in COVID times!

Omicron is the biggest difference here, but it's also worth noting that people are comparing spring and fall to winter.

Our school had very few indoor lunch and recess days through November, but the same won't be true in January/February.[/quote]

Denial is a wonderful thing.  Outdoor recess/lunch isn't going ot stop covid.  [/quote]

...are you drunk?

It [i]is[/i] 1:48 am, so that's my charitable interpretation.

I'm not saying that outdoor lunch and recess is going to stop omicron. Quite the contrary.

My entire point with that is to mention that (in addition to how much more infectious omicron is!) it's different going through a COVID winter in schools than a COVID spring or fall. Outdoor vs indoor lunch is only one part of that. Winter is the worst for viruses like this for a whole host of reasons, even omicron aside.

The point is that people love to say "You thought spread would be bad in schools, but it's been fine. Watch, you'll be wrong again!"

And they're basing it off of spring/fall-- [i]we have never experienced a winter in-person in MCPS with COVID[/i].

That's not an apples to apples comparison.

But then again, omicron to delta is not apples to apples.

And this level of community infection is not apples to apples.

Yet people persist with their delusional "it's been fine, therefore it will be fine" nonsense.[/quote]
