[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yesterday's numbers look VERY suspicious. Schools that were posting numbers in the 20s on Monday are suddenly reporting a single case? Impossible. [/quote]

If they posted high numbers on Tuesday and low on Wed, that’s probably because rapid tests were distributed on Monday. [/quote]

So are you saying these are just [b]new[/b] cases reported on the day? What we need are total active cases or this is just misleading.[/quote]

This is on the MCPS dashboard. Scroll down the list to your school and click on it. It will show you active in the chart to the right.[/quote]

Thanks. I hadn't seen that and it is super helpful. 
FWIW, our "original 11" school is now right at 4%. We got tests on Tues/Weds. [/quote]

That's great news. Could it be that going virtual actually helped?[/quote]

Maybe. Hard to say...otoh, we had to schedule pickup of our tests, which might be harder for some rather than having it sent home in the backpack. 
I'm sure not going to school with 900 other kids did help a little. Plus the snow. [/quote]

I suspect we'll see those 11 virtual schools were the lucky ones. We know so many families flying in at the last minute with possible exposure and they sent their kids to school right away without testing so the schools that went virtual had 2 weeks for symptoms in those kids to show up while they were presumably not out and about a lot.

I hope someone is keeping track of this. These are mainly large schools (Seneca Valley, Roberto Clemente, Hallie Wells - all huge). It will be interesting to see counts of cases/staff out the next 2, 4, 6 weeks compared to similar schools in the district that stayed open. It could possibly also inform decisions in the future. Do short virtual periods help or do they not make any difference in the situation of high community transmission?[/quote]
