[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well first DC has to stop being a red zone.

Wow that truly is an alarming looking color without context. I prefer the blue one below that which also lacks context. It's much more calming.[/quote]

not enough for you lol

"This map shows a rolling average of daily cases for the past week. This is the best sign of hot spots."[/quote]

DC is under 5% positivity rate as of today (this is based on a 7-day average). That is very low.[/quote]

Why are we a red zone then?

I am seriously asking, I posted on here because I am just now returning in person (I was on leave due to personal reasons) by choice. But some of my coworkers are trying to dissuade me from going in person.[/quote]

OMG. Did you look at the map? The red zone of WHAT? All of the colors worse than us are darker reds. The whole scale is red/red adjacent colors. DC is actually below the middle of that scale.

Anyway, positivity rate and number of cases are somewhat related, but not directly related. They tell you somewhat different things. In a place with lots of testing -- like DC, we have easy access to excellent free tests -- there will be more cases even with a low positivity rate. In some big square state with a handful of testing sites and many COVID deniers, the positivity rate will be sky high (people are basicaly only being tested on admission to hospitals), but the number of cases will be low because 95% of cases are going undetected (as compared with 40% or whatever somewhere like DC).[/quote]

I did, but we still aren't in the orange ranges which seems to be where we should be. For example Hawaii is in that range.

I realize we are on the lower range which is why I wanted to come back but everyone is warning me against it because we are in the red still, regardless of which part of red.[/quote]
