"The 5% threshold was discussed in July" -- @FCPSSupt says he has new guidance from the CDC and Health Department now, saying it "doubles down on mitigation." What about "uncontrolled spread" says mitigation to you? #OpenSlowOpenSafe https://twitter.com/PeterBrannen1/status/1326583142463860736
As of today, @fcpsnews reports at least 150 cases in schools. Yet is ramping up bringing more students and staff back & hasn't yet met our 11 Pillars of a Safe Reopening. Cases will increase if these conditions continue to not be met.
Here's a round up of our tweets tonight about COVID numbers. Why is @fcpsnews moving the goalposts on safety? #OpenSlowOpenSafe

We know @fcpsnews mitigation is not being properly implemented - staff are reporting violations to us daily. We're glad to hear about audits, but they must follow our checklist. 👇

Very good question by Dr. Anderson - what IS the COVID standard for school closure? Our union has developed 11 Pillars, but @fcpsnews has not committed to those standards. "It's case by case" isn't clear and transparent communication. #OpenSlowOpenSafe http://fcft.org/safe-reopening

As Dr. Anderson continues to question FCPS officials about PPE and ventilation, read this great thread from @SujathaHampton @FairfaxNAACP. FCPS keeps saying the word "transparent", but the details are key. #OpenSlowOpenSafe https://twitter.com/SujathaHampton/status/1327025161695076354
