So is MOCO just never opening?

We'll all be dead before we "get used to it."

What does this even mean? Do you know the percentages of deaths from this virus? It is incredibly low.

Wait so now we’ve gone from “we need to fulfill all this criteria” to “oh, stage 1 is starting next week”?

DP. The idea that the deaths of old people don't really count, because hey, they were old, and everyone's gonna die sometime? A pro-life position, it's not.

You're missing the point which is that nursing home cases aren't the same thing as community spread. Montgomery County should be in phase 1.

Nursing homes represent communal living arrangements. I'm sure other crowded indoor areas will also get lots of cases if we go back to normal.

The thing that jumps out is the 70% hospital bed utilization target. Under normal conditions Maryland expects a 71% average utilization rate, so looking for 14 days under 70% during a pandemic seems... odd...

And we’re at zero Days so it’s at least two weeks out. This is nuts.

Yes, because a crowded indoor space is TOTALLY the same thing as a nursing home.

Yeah, that metric worries me. I wonder how that compares to other counties that are at phase 1. Seems like we’re on track with the rest of them.

Except the other nine metrics look great. MoCo is opening next week (as Gayles said today).

If current trends continue, presumably.

Into stage one after memorial day. Miraculously will catch up with the governors orders after that.

So Tuesday? Omg, I hope this is true.
