[quote=Anonymous]Here’s his statement from yesterday: https://montgomerycomd.blogspot.com/2021/02/message-from-county-executive-marc_25.html

He said that, even though we are vaccinating more people every day, including 60% of MoCo residents 75+, we need to learn the lesson of last year and open activities more slowly, to avoid a surge.

Excuse me, what? I’m not advocating for a total abandonment of all caution, but comparing this year to last year is totally asinine. Over 1,000,000 Marylanders have had at least one vaccine shot. By the summer, many more will be vaccinated. At our current rate of vaccination, by May 1st, 28% of the state’s residents will have been fully vaccinated.

Moreover, right now MoCo and MD COVID stats are exceptionally good:

MoCo’s stats right now are:

3.2% positivity rate
10.9 cases per 100,000 (7 day average)

Overall, Maryland’s cases have dropped precipitously since the beginning of the year. We’re sitting at a sub 4% positivity rate statewide.

And yet, Elrich thinks that if we open up activities this summer at anything but a snail’s pace, we’re setting ourselves up for a surge equivalent to that of last year?

The lack of critical thinking is astonishing, but not surprising, coming from him. [/quote]
