[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cases in MoCo have quadrupled in a month.

I'm not saying it was either spring break (way too soon to see that) or taking off masks.  But you can't really say "no change".  [/quote]

+1  and I would guess that at [b]home tests are not all being reported[/b].   70+ yr. old parents in DC positive last week for first time.[/quote]

Why does that matter? If they test, and test positive, it is good info for them to have and they can stay home or take whatever measures they need to take until they feel better.[/quote]
It would be best if all home positives were reported so health officials would have a better idea how much community spread is happening and how high case numbers are. I can’t believe that needs to be explained to you.

For example, if case numbers are high but hospitalizations are low, then we learn something about the current strain. But if cases aren’t being counted and hospitalizations start going up, we don’t have that information.

I know a whole bunch of people who escaped covid through the original, the delta and the omicron surges who have contracted covid in the past couple of weeks due to going back to normal, which is fine, but not one of them thought to report their at home results to the health department [b]until reminded[/b]. I think people don’t think it’s still important. But it is. [/quote]

Let me guess.  You felt the need to "remind" them.  People know, they just don't care any more despite whatever "reminding" you may have done.  I'm sure they all ran right out and reported it. [/quote]

Ha! Of course they did! These are close friends who’ve all been very, very careful and were quick to let their close contacts know and isolate. Of course they wanted to report their positives. It’s easy to do and, more importantly, the right thing to do.

Honestly, I think that some of you have lost the plot a little. Your choices aren’t to be a triple masker who never leaves the house or someone who disregards every single public health recommendation, like please report a positive test so we can continue to track the course of this disease.
