[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live close to Ashburn and our neighborhood had a big bonfire/outdoor party, adults drinking, kids running around. We avoided it, but took the kids out for socially distanced ToT. Just the optics of it seemed tone deaf and wrong, at a time when the CDC has said not to do stuff like that and we are desperately trying to get kids back in school.

Ashburn lady who thinks the COVID numbers are low here:  Go check the recent numbers. In the past two weeks, our numbers have steadily increased. The next wave has reached our county and your little bubble is simply a mirage.

It's because of things like this that our case numbers will continue to rise and our kids will never get back in school. SMH.[/quote]

Actually I work at Inova hospital.  I know the numbers. I also know exactly how many covid patients we have. Average stay is 24hrs, and I can count on one hand how many covid patients we have admitted right now. Its a very slow unit.

We have been averaging about 30-35 positives a day which is a sharp decline from earlier October.

Hospitalizations have remained a very slow trickle, not even daily.

But feel free to tell me how it is😂 i can also point you to the numbers if you'd like. 😉[/quote]

I'd love to take the word of some random person on the internet who claims to work at a hospital, but luckily everyone with a computer has access to the Loudoun County Department of Health website and can see the numbers themselves. Positivity rate has gone up. Early Fall it was hovering around 5%. Now it's about 8% and rising.

But don't take my word. Read for yourself:  https://loudounnow-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/loudounnow.com/2020/10/19/loudoun-covid-case-counts-trending-up/amp/?amp_js_v=a6&amp_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA%3D#aoh=16040778447127&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Floudounnow.com%2F2020%2F10%2F19%2Floudoun-covid-case-counts-trending-up%2F[/quote]

Or you could just go direct to the VDH?
