Any chance if numbers are ridiculously good in August Hogan will override Smith?

Wrong again, you really are a fount of inaccurate info. |

This. So if you're in MoCo and want F2F learning, it'll be a while. We've just given up and we plan to move out of the county to an area that will likely be open. |

Yep. PP can’t understand data. So sad. Every metric for Maryland is improving, and has been for weeks. Sorry you aren’t capable of understanding positivity rate. |

Positivity graphs have been flat at about 5% for several weeks. They haven't continued to fall. R0 sits at right around 1. Improvement would require a number under 1. Other stats, like hospitalization utilization, and deaths, lag behind positivity rates, so it's likely that we'll start seeing them stall. |

Maryland was yellow on this map up until a few days ago, now it's red. Outlook is not great:

Positivity rate has declined slightly almost every single day. Computing R0 is very difficult with the data available right now. If deaths stalled at current levels—about 12-14/day in a state of 6 million people—that would be probably what one can expect in a continuing pandemic. We’re never going to get rid of this thing completely, until there’s a vaccine. |

Are you not particularly detail-oriented? Maryland is red on one metric: cases. Since they are increasing, we’re coded red. Having one red metric makes the entire state red. However, they don’t normalize case increase against positivity rate, which makes it a misleading metric. |

The official local Maryland county email update I got today said positivity rates are up. But I know your kind. When positivity rates go up, we will hear, but death rate isn’t up! And when death rate increases, it will be, they’re “just” the old and infirm (they should be more careful, amiright?), then it will be, ok, more people are dying but it’s not as bad as NYC at the height, why are you being so hysterical and paranoid? always something with ya’ll. |

If we want to have school, we need to close indoor dining and bars. |

When did you get that email? Positivity rate ticked up slightly a few days ago, but it’s generally been on a pretty relentless downward trajectory. Might want to look at the actual data: https://coronavirus.maryland.gov/ It’s updated every day at 10am. I’ve been looking at it and deriving my own metrics (like age-bracketed fatality rates) since March. I follow Mike Ricci and Kata Hall on Twitter, since they provide additional information. I don’t just rely on an email update from a county. As for the rest of your 100% unfounded assumptions about me: I’m not going to give you the satisfaction of a response. |

Sorry, I saw that you said you got it “today.” Which county do you live in? The overall MD positivity rate went down by 0.19. For MoCo it was down an impressive 0.82. So your email is either wrong, or only your county’s pos rate was up. |

I am going to start praying for Jack Smith and the School
Board to make a decision that forwards the education AND the economic stability of families in our County. |

He can actually. He can completely override the school superintendent. And he should of the numbers continually get better by the start of school. And Jack Smith can feel what it's like to lose his job during all this. |

Yep, absolutely. There’s no way it can happen in FL, TX, AZ, and maybe CA (among other places) but if our trajectory continues, we might be able to do something, especially if we’re creative about how to use space. |
