I have many questions about this. Will this affect the schools reopening and how will it affect Montgomery county and will other counties follow?


no worries. the schools will open as planned. you all need to calm down.


No one thinks they won't open. The question is what happens as cases rise higher than they were even a year ago. And before you say 'no one's dying' we're back to 1,300 deaths a day in the United States, none of the vaccines are open to anyone younger than 12, and the ones that have been vaccinated have to be re-vaccinated between the 6th and 8th month mark.


Almost entirely among unvaccinated people who are eligible for vaccination.


You know that everyone under the age of 12 is unvaccinated right?

Coworkers in Georgia and Texas report rolling shutdowns of their schools already. They have only been in school for a couple of weeks. Which means it could happen here.


So could hurricanes. But mostly it doesn't.

OP here and I was wondering if it would delay in person school.


No, it won't. Politicians and local leaders are acutely aware that it's political suicide right now to close schools, even in the face of intense viral spread that a year ago would have closed schools no question.

But sadly, instead of pushing for rigorous contract tracing in schools, such as assigned indoor seating at lunch (which is crucial, since it's prime Delta-spreading time and this is where kids will most likely catch it), moving lunch outdoors whenever possible, ensuring each classroom has adequate ventilation and air filtration (which they don't, despite pretense to the contrary), and generally educating staff and students on how to wear their masks properly and how to choose a quality mask, everyone in charge is just standing there apathetically waiting for Covid surges to inevitably lead to mass quarantining and, at some point, close schools.


If politicians had followed the science they would have opened schools when rates were low last year and a vaccine was available. Now that these is a more contagious variant their hands are tied because it would be disasterous to close schools again. They were too cautious last year and now have no room to be cautious.

This has been obvious to everyone but the DCUM crazies

How is TX like MD regarding covid? Do we have similar vax rate? Did our governor ban masks?

There is another thread about how someone hates MoCo because they stll see kids wearing masks outside playing. I bet you wouldn't see that in TX much.

Once again.. Can't shut down schools unless the state mandates it.
