A minuscule dip. The mask mandate is coming back.[/quote]

Not if -16 new cases are reported tomorrow.

You can do negative new cases, right?  [/quote]

Looks like Prince George's county now has a lower case rate even though its vaccination rate is lower.  What is the difference between Montgomery and Prince George's counties?[/quote]

Indeed. Montgomery County is doing a lot more testing. 5204 tests/week per 100,000 residents compared to 3758 tests/week per 100,000 residents in Prince George's County.  Accordingly, their test positivity is 46% higher- 2.36% compared to 1.62% in MoCo.

I assume those are the differences you were alluding to.[/quote]

They've both been testing at similar rates throughout the pandemic. The case rate in PG is falling. The case rate (and the positivity rate) is going up in Montgomery County. I know someone once said if you test more you get more cases, but this is not that.[/quote]

Many people are testing at home or not testing if the symptoms aren't bad.  So, we really don't have accurate numbers.  I'd home test except our insurance does the covid and flu at the same time and I want it identified and if we need medications to get it easily.[/quote]
