[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

Current guidelines from the CDC are based on community levels.  And that says [url=https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#county-view?list_select_state=Maryland&data-type=&list_select_county=24031]low[/url].

And not that it matters, but Montgomery County doesn't have the highest cases in Maryland.  I'm not sure where you got that idea.[/quote]

Different poster here…The Washington Post shares this information as well (daily update). Today’s paper has both Montgomery County and Prince George’s County in the “high” range (Red). These are the only two local counties listed as “high.”[/quote]

Takes a bit of selecting and scrolling to get to useful info:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2020/national/coronavirus-us-cases-deaths/?state=MD

Montgomery Co seems to be middle of the pack with 22 cases per 100K.  Allegheny and Wicomico are about twice as bad.

This is why we need testing as most people aren't reporting it so we don't have actual real numbers.[/quote]

Why? We already know covid is everywhere. And it’s going to stay everywhere. The point is that (vaccinated) people aren’t getting particularly more sick than they do with other common respiratory illnesses. Do we mandate regular testing for colds and the flu?[/quote]

The great Covid minimizer.  [/quote]

Everything I said was true, though. You don’t think it’s everywhere? Have you looked at Covid deaths recently- particularly when broken down by vaccination status?[/quote]
