[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The coronavirus numbers in DC look pretty good. The positivity rate is now below 2 percent on a sustained basis which is well within commonly accepted standards for reopening schools. The only reason schools aren’t opening is Bowser refuses to take on the teachers union. If the union has its way, schools will never reopen.[/quote]

Good. The WTU is right.[/quote]

Actually, DC's own website shows a rolling average positivity rate for DC residents of over 3 percent -- which is good, but not below 2 percent.  And even if it were, that's not enough under the city's standards that also require a R rate under 1 (currently it is over 1) and a sustained decrease in numbers of cases (currently we are still above the low ebb we had back in June.

Here are the numbers from the city’s spreadsheet:

Aug. 18 — 2181 tests, 29 positives, 1.33 percent positivity rate
Aug. 17 — 3823 tests, 52 positives, 1.36 percent positivity rate
Aug. 16 — 2803 tests, 53 positives, 1.89 percent positivity rate
Aug. 15 — 3636 tests, 61 positives, 1.68 percent positivity rate
Aug. 14 — 2911 tests, 41 positives, 1.4 percent positivity rate
Aug. 13 — 6656 tests, 94 positives, 1.4 percent positivity rate
Aug. 12 — 2908 tests, 65 positives, 2.24 percent positivity rate
