WJLA TV: SEE FOR YOURSELF: Montgomery County gives tour of pandemic-prepped school building

The school system has asked parents to weigh in about the fall "recovery plan."

There is no mention of increased rate of fresh air exchange so even though the students will be masked and "socially distant", virus particles will still accumulate in classrooms.

  1. Show us instrumental music class. Do the masks go over the bells of the horns or over the mouthpieces?

    1. Depends. In the case of strings & percussion, no need; ditto guitar and piano classes in high school.

      University of CO actually has done a study of which instruments have what concerns re: aerosol and flutes are BY FAR the biggest problems, right up there with singing.
