Yet not acknowledged by the one member who has claimed the outbreak is despite all of the precautions being kept
If it was me it was probably referring to the fact that the lack of leadership in other communities was being blamed yet leadership in Baltimore did their best but still weren’t able to prevent an outbreak.

Facts are meaningless to someone who chooses to ignore them.

Really? 140 tests in Boro park yesterday is a low number to consider it an outbreak

A) Do you really want them digging in to the real numbers in BP?
B) Positivity rate just tells you trend and possible prevalence. It's not going to be the determining factor in declaring an outbreak. Triple the previous numbers says concerning things, and the requests made by CB-12 don't change anything. The request is nonsensical.

Completely nonsensical.

If 3.5% is just symptomatic people, I shudder to think what the real numbers are R”L.

1- It wasn’t you

2- Allowing a COVID+ outsider into a bubble with unmasked and non-socially distant chanting and singing in a crowded room isn’t quite “doing their best”

It’s an absurd tayna. What in the world makes them think the demographic testing in BP is any different than elsewhere (the mix of people symptomatic, exposed, or testing for other reasons)?

Does the person who wrote that tweet think it’s a coherent argument?

If nobody is testing because testing is highly discouraged to prevent a lockdown, then it doesn’t sound so implausible.

If nobody is testing because testing is highly discouraged then total positive numbers should go down. Why would percent positivity be impacted? Whoever is still testing is still testing.

Regardless, I highly doubt the argument being made is that “The rate is low/high because testing is discouraged, so you should let us do our thing”

The reason we they have such high numbers is because the only people testing are the people with symptoms. So there’s 2 solutions either everyone starts testing or no one should test and whoever has symptoms should just quarantine.

Are you saying that the rest of the state is everyone or no one ?

Or, and bear with me here, the numbers are high because... the numbers are actually high.

You can try saying what ever you want fact is we didn't hear anything about covid for a while and all of a sudden we have 40+ positives in our shull, most of them went to test because they had symptoms which was unheard of a month ago
