[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone think the sharp decline in new COVID cases in Fairfax County could provide an off-ramp, face saving rationale for FCPS to lift the mask mandate?  I did a Google search on Fairfax County COVID and a graph came up that showed the 7 day case average coming down from ~2500 per day in mid January to 131 per day currently.[/quote]

I was going to respond "not by March 1 but then checked the numbers. I see this: 
Case Rate per 100k	50.89
I think that number needs to be at 49.9 or below for 7 days to be mask free per FCPS's previous communication. Looks like we will get don to moderate (if I am looking at the right number) but it won't have time to stay there for 7 days by March 1, obviously.

But encouraging to see we are close.

Or am I looking at the wrong thing?[/quote]

But these metrics were just made up in the first place so what difference does it really make [/quote]

It''s just surreal that these arbitrary CDC guidelines have taken on such importance in some parts of the country.  Generally no one pays any attention to various CDC guidelines and there is very little about COVID-19 that the CDC has gotten right over the entire pandemic.  [/quote]
These numbers are just an extension of the argument. The reality is most people are living their lives like normal and masks in everyday life are pretty meaningless and optional. Many probably have their kids hanging out with friends and playing sports but then cling to masks in Schools strictly because the other ‘side’ wants to do away with them.

People who are concerned with Covid can wear N95s and take 4 vaccines if need be. Now it’s about power and tribalism. Not science.[/quote]

It's sad that we are holding our kids hostage over political differences and political hacks like Brabrand are willing to go to the wall for it.  What possible difference on COVID-19 is forcing kids to poorly wear cloth masks making?  Especially as you are saying in every other aspect of life we are proceeding near normal without masks.[/quote]
