Weird post? If you are worried about purple toes, you should probably just keep your kids at home for the next several years. You sound somewhat strangely gleeful that some kids might have purple toes?

You sound extremely guilty about repeatedly exposing your family to a virus with debilitating long-term effects. Perhaps the penny has dropped? That's not glee in my voice, btw. It's exhaustion. I'm tired tired of careless people who break things.

I'm sure you are exhausted- it takes a LOT of work to never be exposed to this extremely contagious virus. Let me guess- virtual academy, bot parents WAH or SAH, grocery delivery, KN95s when you must go out somewhere, even for walks in the neighborhood? That is no doubt exhausting to keep up that level of effort for over 2 years.

Ok so to summarize:
MCPS got rid of the mask mandate
As of literally this week, they said based on cdc guidance and dept of health guidance, they no longer needed to contact trace
Cdc guidance still says unvaxxed individuals need to quarantine after close contact
But since mcps isn’t contact tracing, unvaxxed individuals in a class or activity or grade level now need to quarantine for 5 days if 3 or more students test positive

So even if a not-sick child, who can’t control whether his parents vaccinated him, showed up to school religiously wearing a kn95 mask, and tested negative (!!) he must miss up to a week of school because other children decided to go maskless in his class and infect each other? And the school dropped all the mitigations?

Just so everyone knows, our school got a letter too. It said students who are eligible for the booster but not boosted would have to quarantine too unless they had covid in the last 90 days. My kids are too young for the booster, but this is getting ridiculous considering there is no vaccine (or booster) mandate and no one was notified of this policy change in advance.

There better not be a vaccine or a booster mandate FOR KIDS or I will truly lose my shit. There is ZERO chance I want to get my 6 year old vaccinated at this point, when she already caught Covid at school in January. Not a chance.

I imagine once the vaccine is fully approved for kids that it will be mandated just like other vaccines are. So prepare to lose your sh-t or make other school arrangements.

Why would you think that? The vaccine is marginally effective. And it could be over a year before it gets fully FDA approved for kids age 5-12. By that time, the variants will be SO different that the current shot will provide even less protection.

It would be stupid for MCPS to mandate an outdated Covid vaccine for 6 year olds. Hopefully they are not dumb enough to do that, but I guess you never know.

1. Asking that everyone test
2. All wearing masks for the next ten days
3. Non-vaccinated kids must stay home and quarantine for five days. Vaccinated, asymptomatic kids can stay in school, masked. But again - see #1 - they asked everyone to test.

Sent home tests and N95 masks.

So a vaccinated kid that tests positive can keep coming to school as long they wear a mask? How are they enforcing what kind of mask and proper fit?

No 🙄

Than what does #3 mean? Vaccinated, asymptomatic kids can stay in school, masked“

I already answered this. First #1 everyone tests. If you are NEGATIVE and VACCINATED and show no symptoms (asymptomatic) you can go back to school. “Asymptomatic” in this context means no symptoms. NOT that they have COVID with no symptoms. People, this isn’t that complicated!
