That's the daily additions. There's a separate file with 14 day tally and percentages. |

This is all so frustrating! Why bother with the color coded system if they are not gonna release the information on what… day 3? They should have just said that they would determine virtual learning in a case by case basis. And if it really is because whoever published the document couldn’t do an excel sheet… that even more concerning! |

I know this is frustrating, but simmer down. The document a PP linked is not the final version, and not the version that is normally color coded. That has not yet come out. |

It also should be noted that this is only cases reported up to 4pm today. Our middle school kids got sent home with two rapid tests today. Today's numbers won't take into account any results taken after school with these test. They haven't provided instruction as to when these tests should be taken. Ideally one should be taken tomorrow morning before school (or late tonight) and the second on Sunday night / Monday morning. I imagine we'll see another big spike then if families are using them. |

You’re right. I need to simmer down. I do better with some visual representation of the risk. I want my kids in school and I want them safe. It’s all the uncertainty that makes me nuts. I guess I was hoping this would go better. |

| It looks like the color-coded chart would end up with virtually (pun intended) all schools red now. They can't just put that out there without a statement. |

| NP. There won’t be school tomorrow anyway. |

I am getting confused by the threads and charts.
Has anyone been following the trend at Central Office (look under Other on the chart). https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/uploadedFiles/Coronavirus/dashboaird/14-Day%20COVID-19%20Case%20Reports%20December%2023%20-%20January%205.pdf 208 cases of Covid. They have more cases than most high schools. What’s the magic percentage of cases? Who knows because MCPS doesn’t know (or is not reporting) the number of people in Central Office. Is Central Office green, yellow, or red? Ha - they list themselves as N/A. These are the great minds leading our county school system through this crisis of COVID spread. So how do you think 208 people got COVID in the last 14 days when they were off December 23rd - January 4th? Too much maskless fun on their vacation trips so now they need quarantine days on top of their extra vacation days? Yup. The captain is going down with the ship. |

| This daily chart doesn’t even take into account teachers and students quarantining due to a positive family member. My neighbor is a HS teacher with kids at 2 other MCPS schools. Her spouse tested positive on Friday after having symptoms. She and her kids got tested over the weekend and STILL don’t have any of the results back. So I’m betting the case counts in reality are higher than what they appear if others are having trouble getting results. |

Probably because high schools have more students because all of the middle and elementary schools feed into them. Seriously the lack of math skills in some of these posts is frightening. |

Sounds like a lot of HS kids took their rapid tests at school today.

You think that because you keep up with the research. Mcps apparently does not. |
