[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]

I think we need to be at under 50 cases per week (per 100K), so that means we need to be at 7 cases or less per day (per 100K).[/quote]

People hoping we will get to moderate and unmask are out of touch with the numbers from the past year.

we have to disregard CDC metrics or we will be masked in School forever. Unless we go to school in July. [/quote]
