Kids in Montgomery County are having a significant impact on our daily case counts.

What do you consider “significant,” and where are you getting your data? I see you, or someone parroting you, posting this on all sorts of threads without any substantiation.

If you want news, go to a news site maybe then you will know what is going on in the County.

Dp, I have been watching the news and not seen it presented as you have here “significant transmission”.

The news says it's far from significant in MCPS. So in-person has been a huge success story so far, and we need to begin scaling back quarantines to be more in line with other regional districts.

Eh. I don’t think you can conclude that. Lots of kids play together with neighborhood kids/classmates outside of school.

Or have extracurricular activities like sports, or siblings in different schools. Individual kids could be getting it from all sorts of places other than school. You can’t conclude anything about in-school transmission unless the contact tracing shows an epidemiological link.

And herein lies the problem. Everything is open by design so you can't pinpoint it to school transmission. How convenient!

I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to suggest here. That contact tracing is a conspiracy?

Just that it is impossible to disentangle given that by design contact tracing is very imperfect right now. If we want kids in schools (which we all want), how about we scale back on other things that are less important (do you really need to have tons of indoor playdates, sleepovers, 1st grade gymnastics right now?)

Or you could, you know, test all kids that were deemed in-school close contacts. Other districts do this and have found, by and large, that there has been little in school transmission. But MCPS, somewhat bizarrely, has a quarantine policy that assumes extensive spread when it sends classrooms home, but doesn't follow up to see if that happened.

And I’m not sure why we care that kids may be getting Covid. It’s not a dangerous illness for kids and those over 11 are able to be protected. Enough already!
