Sorry, I see all the subjects to these threads and normally don't click on them. So maybe I should know this. But I'm curious.


Awareness. That's all. Don't say 'omg how is this happening in Fairfax or Loudoun or Bethesda, it didn't happen before!'

It's happening right now in Georgia, Tennessee, Texas, Alabama, Florida. Schools are reporting thousands of Covid+s in students, pediatric ICUs are being overrun, and entire grade-levels are out in quarantine within 2 weeks of schools opening up.


And I can deduce you are not compelled by the possibility that masking and higher vaccination levels in the community will make a difference. Or the fact that kids in those states are probably exposed a lot more outside of their school environments.

Thanks for answering!

Community spread is going to go up because kids are part of the community and in numerous states - they are overwhelming hospital pediatric wards.

When the DMV stops wearing masks and magically un-vax themselves, we can talk.


News flash - none of the elementary school students and only half of middle school students in the DMV have access to vaccinations.

That is over half a million students.

In other words - an unvaccinated population the size of El Pason, TX, Akron, OH, Alburuque, NM, and Fresno, CA is about to be in 150-square foot rooms and tiny hallways in just three days.

I looked it up, Conroe ISD has about 64,500 kids. Having 1.7% of the students infected at one time is an enormous percent.

Two kids just died in Virginia, but agree that people keep pretending this is an isolated problem.
