MCPS Cafeterias will Put 55+ Students Together without Masks while Eating Lunch, a Known High Risk Interaction. #COVID-19 #Ventilation #HighRisk

The Board of Education has revealed what schools will look like when they open for more public school students.  (Note, MCPS schools are already open and in use by students paying to attend various programs.)  

In the MCPS video posted to Twitter, the Board of Education shows that they will not be following the concept of creating pods of students.  Instead, they will allow 55+ students to all eat in one room.  Obviously, as the students will be eating their lunch they will not be wearing masks.

The NFL already determined that this type of environment was high risk and eliminated lunch rooms in order to keep COVID-19 from spreading during their season.  

But why learn from others?  The Board of Education prefers to experiment with students and staff to see how this arrangement of 55+ students and staff in one room without masks on will work out.
