[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The average daily positivity rate for the last week  for Fairfax is about 150.  The county has 1.1 million people.  It is time to move on and drop the masks.  And rejoice about it![/quote]

Ummm.... I think you should probably stay away from covid data since you clearly don't know what you are reporting!

Positivity rate was not 150.

The test positivity is 5.7%   (hint -- it's a PERCENTAGE NUMBER.  hint#2 -- it's good if it's less than 10%)

The seven-day-average-number-of-new-cases:  is 11.  (hint-- it's a number that is normalized for population and given as "___ per 100,000 people).

The seven-day-average number of new cases (raw number, not per capita) --- THAT might have been 150.  But, it's lower than that now (it's 131) So your "news" is out of date.

I'm glad you are excited, but reporting covid data is not your talent.  Leave it to others.  (or try https://www.vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus/see-the-numbers/covid-19-in-virginia/covid-19-in-virginia-locality/   updated around 9:00 a.m. weekdays)[/quote]

I think it was clearly a misspeak for average number of daily cases. Get off your high horse.  [/quote]

No kidding.  I made a mistake and the magpies jump on the shiny object rather than appreciate the fact that cases are so low that masking is ridiculous at this point.  That may change and people can mask back up but right now it isn’t necessary to stop Covid.  Thankfully.[/quote]

Accuracy and clarity matter.  If you don't know what percent positivity is at this point, just keep your thoughts to yourself.  You aren't helping anyone by reporting things that are wrong.[/quote

You have no position to share whatsoever so shove off.  If your only position in life is to be anti-other peopled and never offer anything of value, people find you annoying.  So, based on the data I offered and you corrected, do you think it is time to take masks off? That is the point of this thread.  The point is not to score points by trying to poke holes in other peoples arguments.  Corrections are fine but you are just a big jerk about it and offer no opinion.  But that’s probably because you don’t have opinions.  You just pick at other people.[/quote]
