[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There have been 14 cases at our middle school. Cumulative, so the first notices were not related to the most recent ones. About 1,400 students. It’s not good, but also not surprising or overly alarming. Schools were not going to have better stats than the community. Hoping the delta peak is here or near. [/quote]

I don't think you understand what "peak" means, if you think something "peaks" in the first two weeks of exposure. We have a ways to go, and since only distancing  or vaccinations stop the spread, you have to realize that every single case is a new vector. Your kids aren't going to quarantine once. They're going to keep on quarantining over and over. If you're lucky they won't also be sick over and over. [/quote]

Actually, you have no understanding of viral spread. In fact, Delta has peaked. The problem is that distance does not stop spread, only makes it take longer, so MoCo is a bit behind in reaching the Delta peak than the rest of the country, [b]who live their lives normally. [/b]Community spread in MoCo remains at "low transmission." There will probably a slight spike in # per 100,000 because of all the testing in schools. But as you can see if you look for yourself, the positivity rate continues to go down.
