And if a few kids commit suicide because we’re telling them to stay in their houses all summer, who cares right?

Look, no one is telling them they have to stay in their house. Grow up already and get your kids mental health treatment or yourself since someone in your family is clearly suffering from it. If staying at home causes mental health issues to the point of suicide, something seriously wrong is going on with that person, family or household and its not going to be fixed by having everything open. It will be fixed by mental health treatment and/or medication or if both don't work, they may just do it anyway.

Last year we were opening indoor bars and Elrich caught enough flak for saying stop serving alcohol after 10pm (which caused people to congregate, maskless). Bars and clubs (indoors) present the highest risk because of there’d be crowds of young (unvaccinated) people packed against each other.

Outdoor activities will be fine. Just chill.

Limiting hours does not limit poor behavior.

Then I’m sure you’re happy about living in the county that’s dead last in the country in terms of reopening schools.

I am. And, we aren't dead last.

He destroyed MoCo’s economy and is dragging his feet on reopening schools, but sure — great job!

We could be just like Georgia, 15000 people died today. But you can get you a sit down meal and your kids can go to school 5 days wa week.

Show me how Elrich is being guided by “the science” in his decision-making. I’ll wait.

I'm a research scientist in virology and related fields, and yes, Elrich is being guided by the best scientific advisers: our brain trust at NIH. We're a lot more cautious than the CDC, which is continually pressured to be as pro-opening as possible on all sides.

Uh huh. Sure — you’re a research scientist.

PP you replied to. You do understand there are quite a few of us on DCUM? The NIH is in Bethesda, prime DCUM territory.
And my husband is one too!

You literally identify yourself in the same way in every post. And you seem to contradict the actual science most of the time.

NP. Glad you're so comfortable with 500,000 dead and more every day.

Know what? During other pandemics and wars, kids literally went to school via radio lessons. Or home school. Or not at all. The only way to not make it through a tough time is to die.

Not for over a year! Don't be so dense.

Considering the crap coming out of the keyboards of so-called “research scientists” on this forum, I hope at least some of you are trolls.

Sure, I’m so happy about it. You understand me so well! In fact, I welcome it.
