I commented on this Facebook post, but I'm afraid everyone's gone home for the weekend andwon't see it.
Based on the FB posts from Mar3-16, we have had 40 cases in the last 2 weeks, so we should
be at a case rate of 120ish per 100,000, not the 71 reported.
It's making it show up as Green (unmask) instead of Orange (masking recommended)! It's alsomaking it look like a test positivity rate of only 1.2% because it's only showing 3 positive tests
from this week! And only 11 from the previous week.
I know maybe I'm missing something here, but it seems like it's got to be a mistake. If so,please correct it ASAP before more people unmask.
Thanks for all your hard work,
Darcy Reeder
