[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Why is MCPS tracking student cases over winter break? Will these be used to determine if/when the 5 percent threshold is hit?[/quote] Yes, that is implied by this sentence: "Currently, no school has reached the 5% threshold, so all schools are scheduled to open as planned tomorrow, Monday, Jan. 3." Implication is that if a school had reached 5% before tomorrow, it would not be opening. I said this in multiple other threads, but the logic is using that 5% as a proxy for community spread, not exclusively looking at spread in schools. Otherwise, according to the logic that the 5% only counts if a case was contracted in school (not possible to prove with certainty anyway) you would have to send kids to school even with 50% prevalence in the community because it technically "hasn't spread in schools yet." I'm relieved that was not their logic, at least. [/quote] What?? [/quote] That’s some fuzzy math. Wow. [/quote]
