[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to disappoint the Covid fans in this thread, but MoCo is back down to the Low community level. We’re not bringing back masks.[/quote]

Where are you seeing low? The DHHS website says medium and the CDC high. [/quote]

The county dashboard says low: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/covid19/data/

We're right on the edge between low and medium, but the CDC's will almost certainly drop to at least medium when they do their weekly update on Thursday.[/quote]

Wrong chart.
Community transmission in Montgomery County is currently HIGH. It is the only count in Maryland with high transmission.[/quote]

This confusion is caused by the CDC's ridiculous "COVID community level" vs. "COVID transmission level" maps. MoCo currently has 13%+ test positivity among reported tests. We can assume that the actual rate is lower because people are using home tests and not reporting them as + or -, but we're still in a situation where if you are in a room with 30 people, one of them has COVID. Mask accordingly.[/quote]
