This is for MD as a whole not for MoCo with 90% of eligible population already vaccinated. MoCo cases are at 10.7. [/quote]

Exactly 10.7 cases per 100,000, half of what the state of MD is seeing, and our hospitalizations are a 1/3 of what they were same time last year. https://bethesdamagazine.com/bethesda-beat/coronavirus/as-covid-19-cases-increase-hospitalizations-remain-lower-than-in-previous-waves/. here MoCo’s sweetheart Dr. Gayles acknowledges that MoCo is doing just fine.

Uhh..you divide the number in the graph by 7 to get the daily number per 100000. Which gives you 15. [/quote]

Uhh no you don’t because 106 is the average over the 7 days so you take 106 divide by total county population and multiply by 100,000[/quote]

Both approaches are actually valid, but they're moot. The most critical point is the trend. The context is that there is a sharp increase in cases in our entire DC, VA and MD area, and that schools have just begun to open, which means that cases will continue to increase. Looking at the Moco graph isn't actually as helpful as looking at the larger region, since we don't have border walls between counties. Both paint the same picture, however: we are going the wrong way!

Only a troll or an idiot could see this as anything but concerning.
