[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] What is Maryland having trouble with exactly? Because as far as I can tell, hospitalizations are still low and manageable... [/quote] It turns out that keeping hospitalizations low isn't the best way to deal with COVID. Because this virus spreads exponentially, the best way to keep it from spreading (and getting to a level that will make hospitalizations really bad) is to intervene very early, and keep new cases per 100,000 per day under 1. MD is now at 15 new cases per 100,000 per day, and at that level contact tracing becomes almost impossible, and we are running short on testing capacity as well. It's like letting a candle flame become a small fire. True, it isn't burning our house down yet but it is much better to just blow out the candle flame, rather than have to stamp out a small fire.[/quote]
