So is MOCO just never opening?

What tests are they using in DC, and where did they get them from?

I have no idea, but why would testing in DC impact whether Maryland is using the tests from South Korea?

I can’t see how Elrich can blame Hogan when PG County, DC and NoVa are all opening. I found it interesting he said restaurants can’t open because they don’t have guidance. Well buddy, that’s your job. He has had months to prepare reopening plans.

Explain to me how Hogan’s team is screwing this up.

What happened to those 500,000 tests?

DP. I’m wondering this too. Weren’t they still short on something- swabs? I can’t remember.

Overall I think Hogan has done a decent job but as things started to get a bit harder and nuanced, he’s not willing to make those decisions and abdicating to local leaders that have varying degrees of expertise and resources. Although the he-said/he-said back and forth makes it know how exactly this went down.

The positivity rate is going down because we are using those tests. Why do you think we aren’t using them?

What makes you think we are using them?

What other tests would we be using?!

Coronavirus.maryland.gov now shows a graph with 7-day rolling averages for test positivity and test volume.

Statewide, we are at 12% positivity, which is a HUGE improvement. For today, we had an 8% positivity rate. The CDC recommends 10% in an environment of increased testing as a benchmark for significant loosening of restrictions, so we are VERY close to that.

That's circular logic.

No it’s not. These are the tests we have. Therefore, since we are doing tests, we have to be using those tests. Unless you’re aware of some other supply of tests we are using?

Not PP, but what tests were being used in the state of MD before the additional 500k was procured?

I also read some counties were buying their own tests.

We were barely doing any tests; that’s why Hogan pushed to get the ones from South Korea.

I don’t get why you’re all struggling with this so much.

he rejected the guidance, then complained he didn't get any!

Exactly. Just like Hogan said, Elrich is ignoring the state’s plan. The guidance is there. Now that PG County is opening—which has more per capita cases and deaths than MoCo, and more community spread deaths (aka non-congregate facilities)—Elrich is REALLY going to have to explain why he’s keeping MoCo closed.

MD posted visualizations on positivity rates on twitter today.

Moco positivity rate is much better than PG and Kent?


Btw - Moco site is days behind - depends on the metric and not sure why.

Is the press conference not live streamed? I can only see that it will be recorded and made available later. Anyone know what's going on?
