[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The surge in Allegheny County started when indoor dining resumed. They never reopened schools fully and had only bright younger grades back when they transitioned to virtual.  Case began rising every week after the Governor allowed indoor dining to resume. It is impossible given the timeline for COVID for the entire surge to have been caused by school reopening.

No, it isn't impossible.

This is how it happens:

Aug -Sept.   younger Kids return to school, a few spread illness (asymptomatic students so it goes undetected)
Oct :  asymptomatic cases spread, start spreading exponentially.  A few spread it to older teens  and parents who start to show more symptoms.   People say -- see?  Kids in elementary school aren't spreading it!
November -- spread is widespread in elementary schools and starts getting going with older kids and teens as well.  Now we start to pay attention.
December -- starts to peak, restaurants shut down.  But people gather for holdiays.[/quote]

It IS impossible, as I said, because younger kids did not start returning to school in Allegheny County until early October. See?  See? Perhaps you should investigate actual facts before spreading misinformation.

What did happen was indoor dining reopened BEFORE schools and case rate started to increase BEFORE schools opened. [/quote]

They went back to school Sept 21.  Spike started happening end of October, like the 29th.   Indoor dining also was a problem.  Probably also Frostburg U. contributed.[/quote]
