[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think for schools like Inspired that are phasing in a hybrid starting with the youngest, there is an outside chance that a little bit will happen.  But, I am preparing myself for even that phased in approach to be canceled before the year can begin.

Inspired parent here. I agree. I'm sort of suprised they're even attempting hybrid, honestly. Makes me nervous. [/quote]

Me too.  The city's data seems worse and worse every day.[/quote]

What?! This is DC's most current data. https://coronavirus.dc.gov/release/coronavirus-data-july-21-2020
The amount of fear is just crazy to me.[/quote]

Why? There are a lot of new cases today, more than there has been recently.  When the college students come back it will get worse.  Then, seasonal flu. Think about the trend, not just today. [/quote]

Scary, I am a 23 year old teacher who was pushing to work in person...maybe not so much anymore. 
No, I am looking at the data only. This should be about science and data and not speculation. DC's data is not "worse and worse every day."[/quote]

Not EVERY day, but it is getting progressively worse. Look at the 7-day average, which accounts for the fluctuations. New Covid cases in DC are rising again: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2020/us/washington-dc-coronavirus-cases.html

And no, we won't go to in-person learning in January. It will be worse by then, not better. And at that time we'll be dealing with the flu too. This month, I imagine they will say they've decided on full DL and will re-evaluate in a few months. In a few months, they will call DL for the rest of the school year.

I'm hopeful that a vaccine will be out there before the 21-22 school year, and that we will have gathered enough information about this awful virus to effectively protect our kids and their teachers. [/quote]

Look at DC's data, released today. It is solid. https://coronavirus.dc.gov/sites/default/files/dc/sites/coronavirus/page_content/attachments/Situational-Update-Presentation_72220.pdf[/quote]

If you are saying solid as in good....you are crazy [/quote]

Not crazy. Positivity rate is low at 2.7. Rt is under 1. Hospitalizations under 80%. One death per day and likely to be elderly or with complications (RIP). 100% contract tracing.[/quote]

Well let’s look at today’s numbers:

Positivity rate:1.7% but only 2500 tests conducted 
RT:  1.01
Hospitalizations:  81%
This new nugget info:  As national demand for testing increases and results take longer to come back in DC and across the country, DC Health has identified a need to increase the reporting lag time by four days to reduce volatility in the data. The most recent data reflects an increase in community spread. To ensure this graph accurately reflects the most recent data, the community spread count is being paused as these adjustments are made.”

And the death of a 24 year old. [/quote][/quote]
