[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less testing means less positives.  Parents may not be reporting the positives.  I doubt it dropped that quickly.  [/quote]

Here comes the pandemic forever crowd (right on cue).

This one is great.   While the rest of the world is seeing Omicrom surge and drop in an almost identical way…no way it could be true in MoCo.  Only happening because parents aren’t reporting cases.  Great stuff.  [/quote]

You really think that there is a drop that quickly?  Be real.  It's highly contagious.  It will drop in a month or so, but not this quickly.  I know several parents not reporting positives.  They should show the absentee rate, number of sick kids sent home and positives.

We will have the pandemic forever because the entitled people like you cannot take it seriously and be part of the solution.[/quote]

You are way off, and I'm someone who is very conservative with COVID and hasn't sent her kid back to school since winter break. It's a little soon to tell, but DC's numbers are [i]probably[/i] showing a steep dropoff in the past 5 days. The whole cycle seems to have peaked more quickly and dropped off (knock wood) more quickly than even NYC or London-- and those places didn't stay at a high plateau for 6 weeks, which is what you are suggesting for us. Highly unlikely.

(My guess is that we are just more-vaccinated-enough than those two cities that Omicron is burning through a little faster.)  [/quote]

You aren't conservative with covid.  Stop pretending.[/quote]

...what?

By "conservative with COVID," I mean that I do more than 95% of [i]people I know in Takoma Park [/i]to avoid contracting and spreading COVID.

I haven't sent my kid back to school. The most I've done since Dec 19 has been walk around the neighborhood and RUN into UPS to drop off a package. I was pro-2-4-week virtual from the jump. Please.

I am listing the facts and the increasingly likely (I HOPE!) trajectory we SEEM to be on.

Does that make me pro-COVID somehow? You've lost the plot, have made everything COVID-related hopelessly black and white or are trolling.

Or else YOU are that singly, near-mythical, fatally pessimistic creature who really does love "sitting in their jammies all day obsessing about COVID in their basement." I've never met someone like you IRL, but then again, I guess that's by your design!

And assuming you also made the comment just above, 1 minute before the one I'm replying to... I do believe school being in session in-person contributes to COVID cases in the community overall-- but not[i] this[/i] much. And so much that snow days [i]two weeks ago[/i] were the contributing factors to a decline a few days ago? A steep decline of almost a week now? At the very most, the week with the bulk of snow days (Jan 3-7) would have led to a decline in numbers from about Jan 6-12. In fact, that's when we were at our highest rate in the entire pandemic.

Apparently being factual and very slightly optimistic about the possible future has completely killed my cred as someone who cares about limiting the spread of COVID. Darn.[/quote]
