+1000. Many of us who work are back in the office, traveling for work, having happy hours with coworkers and clients etc. our kids are playing sports and being kids. We’ve just filed covid away as another (small) risk we choose to undertake everyday in exchange for living a normal full joyful life. DCUM is not real life.
Except the risks you take impact all of us. But, clearly you don’t care.
You are correct. I do not care. It’s not up to me to keep you safe from an invisible ubiquitous virus that apparently I could have and not know about. That’s very entitled by the way. I don’t know anyone who actually is such a narcissist in real life. But even if I cared deeply about you, I can’t protect you from covid. It will find you eventually regardless of whether I suck the joy out of my life in solidarity or not.
Its not anxious if you actually have real health issues and understand what long term health issues really ar.
Its too bad you are the one spreading this and so self absurd that you stopped caring. Worse is you are raising the next generation just like you and then will complain how selfish they are without realizing you are the reason why.
I have to agree with this. The majority of the country is going about their daily life, quite normally. Yet there is this subset of overly anxious people who clearly can’t run and efficient risk benefit analysis, and insist we stay home to keep them safe. Yet they think we are the selfish ones. It’s bizarre.
Last time I looked at mcps numbers, they continued to be on the rise and no I am not overly anxious but I don’t want to get Covid from you. So, yes, you are selfish.
What are you looking for? People aren’t going to keep covid measures up forever. Nor is covid going to be eradicated. So what's your plan? Are you going to keep isolating yourself and your kids? Or are you going to take steps to protect yourself so you can interact with others?
The discussion is about Covid in MCPS. Honestly I have no interest in interacting with others as I don't want covid. Its not about it being eradicated but since people refuse to use common sense and stay home when sick, we are now seeing outbreaks in MCPS schools and that's an issue.
There are always going to be cases in MCPS. Vaccines and infection don’t confer lasting immunity against subsequent infections.

DP. At some point you’re going to have to adjust your mindset on this because the PP is not some outlier, society is continually heading in this direction and yes you sound anxious if you are worried about getting Covid from random internet posters you don’t even know.
At the risk of sounding like a republican, two years in to this, some of y’all need to take some personal responsibility and modify your actions if your caution level is relatively higher than everyone else.
Our actions have been modified. The discussion is about Covid in MCPS schools and far more can be done to keep it out of the schools.

As someone said earlier, we all have our personal/family risk tolerance. We do not need to shame anyone about that.
As someone very cautious, posting daily counts is silly on multiple threads as its easy to look at the MCPS dashboard and while its surging, no one cares or is going to change their behavior so what is the point. Anyone really cautious is in Virtual or homeschooling.
I appreciate the analysis offered and you're wrong about what defines someone as "really cautious." Skip the thread if you don't like it. What is your motive for posting here and trying to derail it?
Really cautious are folks staying at home for the most part, not traveling, non large events or gatherings, no indoor activities outside absolutely necessary shopping, etc. I watch the thread and numbers as we are trying to decide if we want to send our kids in person and watching the numbers and how MCPS handles things. I don't know who is worse, the other families or MCPS. It really sucks for families like us.
I would say at this point if you are considering not sending your kids to school. you fall into the really cautious camp.
We are right under really cautious as we do allow for some activities, but mainly as one is still requiring masking and basic precautions. Other than that we are really cautious but we'd like to send our kids back in person.
There’s only one month left of the school year- I assume you are talking about the fall? I don’t see much changing in terms of breakthrough treatments or vaccines so if you’re not comfortable in person now be sure to register for VA next year.
You don't need to register if you are already enrolled. I agree with you, I don't think there will be any change in vaccines, despite them promising an updated vaccine last March, which is unfortunate.

+1000. Many of us who work are back in the office, traveling for work, having happy hours with coworkers and clients etc. our kids are playing sports and being kids. We’ve just filed covid away as another (small) risk we choose to undertake everyday in exchange for living a normal full joyful life. DCUM is not real life.
Except the risks you take impact all of us. But, clearly you don’t care.
You are correct. I do not care. It’s not up to me to keep you safe from an invisible ubiquitous virus that apparently I could have and not know about. That’s very entitled by the way. I don’t know anyone who actually is such a narcissist in real life. But even if I cared deeply about you, I can’t protect you from covid. It will find you eventually regardless of whether I suck the joy out of my life in solidarity or not.
I have to agree with this. The majority of the country is going about their daily life, quite normally. Yet there is this subset of overly anxious people who clearly can’t run and efficient risk benefit analysis, and insist we stay home to keep them safe. Yet they think we are the selfish ones. It’s bizarre.

As someone very cautious, posting daily counts is silly on multiple threads as its easy to look at the MCPS dashboard and while its surging, no one cares or is going to change their behavior so what is the point. Anyone really cautious is in Virtual or homeschooling.
I appreciate the analysis offered and you're wrong about what defines someone as "really cautious." Skip the thread if you don't like it. What is your motive for posting here and trying to derail it?
Really cautious are folks staying at home for the most part, not traveling, non large events or gatherings, no indoor activities outside absolutely necessary shopping, etc. I watch the thread and numbers as we are trying to decide if we want to send our kids in person and watching the numbers and how MCPS handles things. I don't know who is worse, the other families or MCPS. It really sucks for families like us.
Thoughts and prayers.

I personally don't care. It's wall-to-wall people everywhere you go now. No one individual decision moves the needle in the slightest. We've already arrived at the new normal.
I don't think that's true.
We just traveled to Disney. And go to NY/NJ frequently. It’s 100% true.

I would say at this point if you are considering not sending your kids to school. you fall into the really cautious camp.
We are right under really cautious as we do allow for some activities, but mainly as one is still requiring masking and basic precautions. Other than that we are really cautious but we'd like to send our kids back in person.
There’s only one month left of the school year- I assume you are talking about the fall? I don’t see much changing in terms of breakthrough treatments or vaccines so if you’re not comfortable in person now be sure to register for VA next year.
