[quote=Anonymous]No. They are using an average daily case rate as a measure. That’s fine. But they are using CDC guidelines that use a seven day total. It’s a big mistake. The CDC guidelines say transmission risk level is high if you have a seven day total of cases more than 100 per 100,000 people. Prince George’s County says we have a daily case rate of 18, so that we are in the yellow moderate risk not the high risk. It’s true that our daily case rate is 18 new cases per 100,000 per day. I’m not arguing that. But that’s a daily case rate. If they’re using the CDC guidance they should be looking at a weekly case rate. Multiply that 18.2 by 7 and you get 127 new cases per 100,000 people per week. We are in the red zone; not the yellow zone, as per CDC guidance. It doesn’t take a degree in epidemiology to understand how to read a chart based on basic math. You cannot mix measurements like that.[/quote]
