[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know there are a ton of doctors and scientists on this forum. Question - does anyone know the county level incidence over the last 14 days? And does it track these school wide metrics? Is the county reporting, say, 1% over the last 14 days but the schools are reporting close to 5%? or vice versa?[/quote]
NY Times has county level data with 14 day trends.

Back to the question if the school numbers are out of whack with the community spread. 
Can an epidemiologist walk me through this? Daily new case rate according to nytimes above for Moco is 325 per 100,000.
14 days would be 4,550 cases per 100,000 - is that a correct way of looking at it (I realize the cases are going up so this is an overestimate)?
So that would mean 4.55% incidence? 
Am I thinking about this correctly?[/quote]
That community spread rate is of tests given, not the total MoCo population. MCPS is using positivity within the total population of a given school.[/quote]
