[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Could someone explain how we are in the "moderate" range?

The CDC indicators are, for "Total new cases per 100,000 persons in the past 7 days"
[list]Low - 0-9
Moderate - 10-49
Substantial - 50-99
High - 100+[/list]

When I look at the CDC's data tracker, we are at 768 cases total over the last 7 days, or 108.82 per 100k. That puts us in the "high" range, not the moderate range.

I think we are getting mixed up between DC's version of "moderate" spread (which is rolling average of 15/100,000 per day over 7 days) and the CDC's version of "substantial" or "orange" which is 50-99 cases total over 7 days per 100,000.  If your numbers are correct, we are getting close to "substantial" but aren't there yet.

At "substantial" (orange) the only different CDC guidelines are that that MS and HS should be hybrid, and outdoor sports are sort of allowed.

I imagine that with rates plummeting as quickly as they are, that we will get to substantial within a week, and will get to moderate by summer (particularly with vaccine rollout).

The question is still whether OSSE will change it's guidelines according to CDC, or if they will just continue to do whatever.[/quote]
