[quote=Anonymous]There has been an increase in cases. If you don't mind becoming infected now, then the cases don't matter to you.

If you want to avoid becoming sick now, areas of Maryland like Montgomery County, are in the "High" transmission range under the old CDC metrics and most of the state is in the "Substantial" range. High is the highest level. Fortunately, the cases aren't overwhelming hospitals, which is what the new CDC metrics are concerned with. It tells you nothing about your chances of becoming infected.

Your individual chances of becoming infected are much greater now than they were at the beginning of the month due to the levels of community transmission. If you want to reduce your chances of getting sick now, consider whether wearing a high-quality mask or scaling back indoor activities makes sense for you.

While hospitals aren't overwhelmed, in Maryland, we have gone from having just 126 people hospitalized on April 1 to 170 hospitalized today. That's still very low, due to vaccines, boosters, and prior infection, but an increase nonetheless. Hopefully, this is a mini-surge that will peak soon.
