[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The metrics are both mathematically laughable and logistically impossible to attain:

— They want 5% testing capacity per month. That means doing an average of about 1,700 tests in MoCo per day. Statewide we are doing about 3,000 tests per day. No one knows how MoCo will get our testing capacity up to the point where we are doing 50% of what the entire state is doing.

— Amid all this increased testing, they want a 14-day decline in new cases.

— They want a 14-day decline—as calculated by rolling average—in deaths. We are now averaging 12.4 deaths per day. How can we attain a 14-day decline in a metric that is BELOW 14?

— They want a decline in hospitalizations, yet Gayles said last week that he doesn’t even know how many COVID patients we have in MoCo, and our hospitals haven’t been overwhelmed (with the exception of 2 Silver Spring ones).

That’s just 4 examples of the absurdity of these metrics.[/quote]

Email your governor. I’m in Fairfax County and would love to see MoCo open since the region all seems to be following each other’s lead. [/quote]

I strongly believe that emailing and calling local governors actually has zero effect and is just a waste of time. They do what they want-just like every other elected official. [/quote]

Well, I’m pretty sure not emailing does not good.[/quote]
