7 day running average of new cases per 100K.[/quote]
That is Maryland as a whole. For Montgomery County, the data updated 12/29 is 803.38 cases per 100k in the past 7 days.

And for those who are math impaired, that is 0.8% of the population with a positive test in the past 7 days. If you want to estimate that for every 1 person who got a positive PCR, there are 3 additional people who have Covid, that would bring the total to 3.2% of the population. And it is reasonable to assume those numbers will go higher in the next couple of days as everyone who is still getting sick manages to get tested.

However, the Health Department and MCPS need data to act on, not estimates and assumptions. The letter that was posted said "As of today 12/30" MCPS was still planning to open in person. There are still 4 days for that to change. Regardless of what MCPS does and when they communicate, people are gonna scream about it. That just seems to be the permanent setting nowadays. If you really think MCPS should not be open on 1/3, then encourage the people you know to complete the form on the homepage to report students that have Covid. MCPS can't act until they have data.
