[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many schools are red! But it still says this is from cases starting December 23, so some of them must have aged out and shouldn’t be included when looking at data from the last 14 days.[/quote]

This! Why is MCPS counting more than 14 days when it said 14 days?[/quote]

+1 MCPS has already been closed for two weeks. The numbers are not spread in schools. Cases reported before winter break would be cleared to return from quarantine.

Another 14 days is a MONTH out of the school building. MCPS is a rats nest mess. Just more trickery to deny children in person instruction.[/quote]

No you don't. Community school = school spread. Omicron is 10 times more transmissible than Delta. It's not up for debate that Omicron spreads in schools, particularly during the elbow-to-elbow unmasked lunch.

Problem is that you can't have schools if there are no staff or bus drivers anyway

DP, but Omicron spread in absolute terms is not the issue.  The issue is whether the consequences of Omicron spread *specific to schools* outweighs the (massive) negative consequences of virtual learning to kids.

I mean, if you think COVID is bad for kids, wait until you see the effects of chronic stress.  I wish I were kidding, but as a licensed mental health professional with expertise in clinical neuroscience, I’m more than a little terrified.  Just because you don’t see it now doesn’t mean it’s not a problem.[/quote][/quote]
