For example, there were 3,737 tests conducted on Thursday in Maryland with 879 positives. So you would go 879/3737= 23% As a reminder: we don’t know for sure when the tests were actually conducted. The numbers we get daily are tests that came back with results. ...doesnt change your point of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we’d maybe be seeing more cases but a lower % positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 4 minutes ago, WxUSAF said: Hospitalizations is what MD is looking at for reopening criteria right? "The primary gating benchmarks for Maryland are: first, the current hospitalization rate (including the current ICU bed usage rate) for COVID patients; and, second, the number of daily COVID deaths. Deaths are a lagging indicator, so the State’s primary gating metric for this recovery roadmap is the current COVID hospitalization rate. The rate of COVID patients occupying beds is currently our most accurate measure of our ability to slow the spread of this deadly disease in Maryland. However, once testing in the state becomes truly robust, new case rates could also become an effective gating metric in Maryland." https://governor.maryland.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/MD_Strong.pdf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ErinInTheSky Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I went to hike my favorite trail thinking I could socially distance. The trailhead is more packed than I’ve ever seen, worse than the Florida beaches. I noped out and am going to a quieter trail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baltimorewx Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 Meadowood regional park in Timonium where I work part time was certainly more crowded than has been today. Certainly a product of a decent day and cabin fever. Lots of people out and about today. The stay at home order honestly as kind of become a joke.

Hikes, walking, etc are specifically mentioned as exceptions in the stay at home order, so I can see why people are doing it - it's allowed under the rules. But god they have to learn to wear masks and not congregate. There was NO social distancing at the first hiking trail I pulled up to, hence why I left it.
