[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they expect the rates to get higher in the Fall/Winter, there will be no school this year. And millions will lose their jobs and kids will fall behind because teacher’s unions absolutely suck. Even more than the lazy whiny teachers who are non stop about their pay, holidays, work load, class size, etc...

There are plenty of essential workers out there getting the same pay doing their jobs. [b] Colleges are going back. [/b] Daycares are already back.

Public schools? Heavens no!!! We just can not do it.

Pathetic. [/quote]

U of Alabama, U of Georgia, and U of Washington have already had outbreaks with hundreds of cases, including some staff and teachers, and in-person classes haven't even started yet. Colleges are going to be a major problem in the fall, if this past month is any indication. And it's impossible to keep outbreaks contained to campus once they've started, especially since younger adults are less likely to show serious symptoms. They're going to be walking around town spewing the COVID, thinking they're just hung over.[/quote]

Meanwhile, in Montgomery County, which is where MCPS is, there was the lowest daily increase in COVID-19 cases — 0.22% — since mid-March.

The 3-day average is 77 cases/day. Daily numbers aren't that accurate a measure since we just had a 3-day weekend and a lot of testing centers only operate during the workweek.

MoCo is definitely improving, that's for sure. It's still #2 or #3 highest in MD though. We are now at over 15,000 cases. The entire neighboring state of VA has 66k cases, with about 8.5x the population of MoCo.

Some people are just bound and determined to see EVERY glass as half empty.

Here are the test positivity rates: https://twitter.com/MDHealthDept/status/1280140506362712069/photo/1
