[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The CDC recommends many things that FCPS chooses not to follow.  Why are we stuck on only the masking recommendation?[/quote]

Such as? Just curious.[/quote]

- 3 feet of distancing
- screening testing
- cohorting
- 6 feet of distance between staff and students
- canceling band, choir, plays/musicals, and other activities that involve singing or shouting
- canceling high-risk indoor sports such as basketball and wrestling

Oh, I thought you meant in other categories of things, not just covid crap. I’m sick of covid. We certainly aren’t doing any of those silly recs, thank god. They need to update their guidance to reflect how mild omicron is.[/quote]

I hope that they update the guidance soon.  The hysteria is wearing me down.  I teach high school, and I think that if they did away with the mask mandate, the students would still be showing up in masks for the next month or so.  Look at Walmart and Wegmans, for goodness sake.  No masks required, but almost everyone is still wearing one.  People should realize that doing away with the mask mandate in schools does not mean that you are forbidden to wear one.[/quote]

Masks protect other people more than the wearer. The selfish ones get to spread their germs more freely to the ones with common curtsey [/quote]

Not an issue anymore.  Vaccines work.  If FCPS allows students to not get the vaccine, then they should allow students to not wear masks.[/quote]

Vaccines aren’t available for everyone. Including everyone under age 5, people who are undergoing certain treatments, people with immunocompromising conditions, etc.  These populations would be better protected if everyone wore masks indoors in public. Is that really so hard to do during an absolutely raging pandemic? If you were one of the people relying on others to wear masks, that it could literally be a life or death situation for you, you wouldn’t be so flippant about it. god people are so selfish  [/quote]
