Also Cohen’s store in Clifton is absolute trash.

I collect and restore mid century modern furniture as a hobby.

The crap she sells in there is hardly a step above good will.

So looks like that's one bunch of people fully ready for a strong start on August 23.

Is she incapable of common sense?

I mean for crying out loud!!

looks like a bunch of teachers and school employees in person ready to start a school year in person. I'm not seeing the reason for outrage here

A bunch of clueless idiots who are likely transmitting COVID to each other so more and more unvaccinated children are put at risk when school starts in 18 days. That's the reason for outrage.

Those aren’t teachers—they’re principals and other admin— but don’t let reality get in the way of your hurt feelings.

I don't even understand what you are arguing about here?

Who cares if they are teachers or admins? They are FCPS employees who are disregarding FCPS rules about indoor mask wearing.

Are you trying to say it's ok since they are principals, but it would be a problem if they were teachers?

WTF?

What are they disregarding? Teachers aren't required to wear masks if students aren't in the building.

To be fair, current FCPS rules state (from an email on Tuesday): masks will be required for everyone, regardless of vaccination status, inside FCPS school buildings when students are present.
As of Monday, August 2, all FCPS staff – both in offices and schools – are strongly encouraged to wear a mask at all times indoors:

So, with no students present they were within the current rule which doesn’t require masks, but does strongly encourage them.

This is why West Springfield cancelled all student activities, otherwise masks would have needed to be worn because students would have been in the building Administrators not wearing masks is more important than football practice and any student activity. The hypocrisy is killing me, can’t believe Laura Jane posted for all to see. What a simpleton.

To be fair, when you call her a simpleton, it isn’t an insult. It’s just a fact.

So now Admin doesn’t interact with kids?

Or teachers?
IN March/April 2020, there was spread happening after schools closed, with teachers and staff in fewer rooms.

You aren't making any sense right now at all.

In school year 2020-2021 kids were more likely to get COVID when not in school. School is a controlled environment with mitigations. If cases are rising that’s an argument to get kids in school.

Not when we're talking about a variant of COVID that's 100% more contagious than the strain faced by people during the 2020-21 school year.

Well, too bad they used up all their shutdown capital last school year. They're not going to keep kids out of the school building for 2.5 years. I mean from two weeks to flatten the curve...to over two years? I mean not even the craziest school board member is that crazy.

When widespread infections inevitably occur because of Delta they will have no choice.

Delta infections are down 70% in the UK over the last three weeks, 75% in the Netherlands, and 95% in India. Cases have started to turn over in Missouri and slowed in other southern states.

This isn't a long term sustained wave. I know there are a few people who are upset by this since they turned freaking out about COVID a major part of their personality but this is all going to be much to do about nothing in a few weeks.

Woe is me when that crowd loses the "Delta is different; nothing will ever be the same again" talking point. I suppose it'll be time to back a new horse like Lambda.

Do you actually read anything, or just sit around making empty sarcastic comments?

Do you actually read anything beyond panic porn headlines? Have you tracked how waves manifest/dissipate across variants? Did you actually track how Delta impacted unvaccinated children in the UK? Are you going to be disappointed when Delta doesn't actually close the schools this fall?

- Moderate rise starting mid July

Fairfax's Vax rate is similar to the the more populist counties in the Netherlands, combine that with a higher rate of people with prior infections (both known and unknown) and there isn't a lot of room for this to take off in NOVA. Cases will spike in the next two weeks then start to drop like a rock.

The schools that opened this week down south have a much tougher hand delt to them then us who don't start school until late August.

Stay calm and carry on (to in person school, five days a week with teachers present).

I doubt it will be a few weeks. There is about a 50 day timeline, and the US is behind the UK and India. India had large scale use of iverm as well.
However, they are already talking about delta plus.

Not a few weeks, I agree. But today is only 8/5 - let’s see where we are by mid/late September?

If they get it now, then kids will be at little risk when school starts. Health department doesn't even ask for negative tests for kids to go back to school after that many days.
