[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not saying that the Department of Health is actively trying to hide spread of COVID by testing lots and lots of asymptomatic people, like it is some kind of plot.

Just want people to realize that the fact that our positivity rate has remained at about 5% doesn't mean cases are flat.   We only got that result because we are testing more and more widely.  And we are of course picking up more positive cases.  Because cases are, in fact, going up.  Spread is happening.

Now, a PP MPH poster has told us he or she is OK with spread going up, because it is among low risk young people, mostly.   That's fine.   Let's be sure to share that information widely though.

CASES IN MD ARE GOING UP.   They aren't flat at all.   The rise isn't just because we are testing more.

As cases go up and spread gets worse, older people and more high risk people are more likely to be affected.   Then hospitalizations will rise again.

We can stop this NOW or we will have to stop it LATER.   The earlier we get things to a very low level that we can live with (as in Europe) the easier it will be on us.  The sooner we can reopen schools.[/quote]

You don’t understand how this works at all, and don’t seem open to learning why you are wrong.  But you are wrong.[/quote]
