[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coronavirus numbers in DC are already very low right now, and hardly anyone has been vaccinated. By the summer, a large percentage of people will be vaccinated, and the number of coronavirus cases in the city will be extremely low. [/quote]

You can just look at the numbers. The infection rate is now below 1.0, which means the outbreak is shrinking.

The positivity rate is 3.4 percent, which is very low (it's supposed to be under 5 percent if you want to reopen schools).

And barely three percent of DC residents have been vaccinated. [/quote]

If we'd stayed virtual through June, maybe. With si many kids sharing air aince last week, community transmission is bound to rise again and jeopardize what OP is hoping for. [/quote]

people have been wrongly predicting such things for almost a year now.

remember when memorial day was supposedly going to lead to a huge outbreak? (didnt happen)

remember when the george floyd protests were going to lead to a huge outbreak? (didnt happen)

remember when celebrating july 4 was going to lead to a huge outbreak? (didnt happen)

remember when all the people going to the beach in august was going to lead to a huge outbreak? (didnt happen)

remember when labor day cookouts were going to lead to a huge outbreak? (didnt happen)

remember how people said a combination of the flu and coronavirus was going to devastate washington this winter (didnt happen -- the number of flu cases is microscopic, and the coronavirus numbers are pretty good).

What are you talking about? Cases did rise substantially after many of those dates- including the most recent peak due to holidays.[/quote]

Look at a graph of cases in DC. They peaked last May and then fell fairly steadily throughout the summer and fall before climbing again this winter. They spiked in early December before falling again before Christmas and then spiked back up again in early January. They've fallen dramatically in the past month.  [/quote]
