[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's funny, [b]Anne Arundel and PG have been able to go virtual[/b], but MCPS have not.

I already know two 50+ vaxxed adults who have caught Covid from their their vaxxed teenagers in MCPS just since the beginning of school. Fortunately, they seem ok, but we will see who ends up with long Covid and who doesn't. :([/quote]

People want to forget if their kids get covid, they can bring it home to them.

MCPS promised they will stay open.  They are following their promise.[/quote]

First, stop spreading misinformation. AA did not go virtual. They switch a very small number of schools to virtual similar to what MCPS did.

Second, what exactly did PG gain from two weeks of virtual? [b]There is not a shred of evidence of any impact[/b] other than lost in person days, disruption to work, and some teachers not having to figure out how to adapt to staffing issues.[/quote]

DP - According to the Maryland State dashboard, there were 889 new covid cases in the past 24 hours and 65 people died in Maryland in the past 24 hours.

According to the New York Times dashboard, Montgomery County alone had 88 deaths in the past two weeks.  Remember that when someone dies, that frees up an ICU or hospital bed.

How many died in Montgomery County in the past 24 hours, and why did I use the NYT data for Montgomery County deaths?  The Maryland dashboard only breaks the data down by zip code which makes it difficult for anyone to analyze the data.   Why would the State do that?  My guess is that it's to let ignorant people shoot of their mouths and think there is no issue where they live (and it's working!).[/quote]

You are sick and just because someone dies, that does not necessarily mean they were in ICU.[/quote]

Exactly.  [b]88 died in MC these past two weeks.  Pay your respects to those families, then make your comments[/b].[/quote]

It is wrong to attribute those deaths to schools being open. There is no evidence that if schools were virtual the numbers would be any different. It’s called the counter factual. It’s basic science which you apparently do not understand.[/quote]

And what kind of clown edits out someone else's post?  I bolded the part to help remind you.

American parents cherish their children and will do anything to protect them.  Normally parents will oppose policies that threaten the health and safety of children.

To counter parental instincts to protect their children, there is a technique used to desensitize people so they believe extreme measures (ex. violence, death, etc.) are socially acceptable.  If you want real-world examples, just look no further to modern-day North Korea and Russia.

"At the time of the (Chernobyl Nuclear) accident, Ukraine was a Soviet republic, and initially, the Soviet authorities tried to cover up the disaster. To avoid raising suspicions, they went ahead a few days later with May Day parades in Ukraine, marching schoolchildren through swirling radioactive dust.  This callous attitude helped stir anti-Soviet sentiment throughout Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, the republics most affected, and the accident is now seen as one cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union five years later."

"As the world enters a third year of the global Covid-19 pandemic, North Korea claims to remain free of the coronavirus because of its strict border closures and travel restrictions that have reportedly worsened food shortages. As the reclusive state rang in the new year, supreme leader Kim Jong-un called on North Koreans to do their part to combat the virus despite economic hardships and state television ran video of children dressed up as bottles of hand sanitizer."

As we all know, hand sanitizers do squat for an airborne virus.  Similarly, as we all know, when you unmask in a crowded school lunchroom, covid-infected individuals can infect others.

Edit someone else's posts all you want - but it won't change facts.[/quote]
