Regardless of the positivity rate, the fact it has more or less consistently been <1% in a region of 617,870 people is really good. Hopefully the school reopenings don't cause a big increase, because with such a low positivity rate means the R nought is incredibly low and so community transmission is low. It'll really be up to how well kids behave, how well teachers can control things in regards to masks/social distancing/cleaning/not allowing friends to get close, how fast we can get improved HVAC systems in the schools (if we are even doing that? I know it was trending on Twitter the other day and people were wondering how the hell we can upgrade HVAC in thousands of schools across the country) and so on. I think the true test will be in...maybe November, when it's cold enough outside that people aren't socializing/working outdoors and we're pushed indoors and any impact from schools has spread to other demographics. Dr. Tam is already expressing some concern about another increase come autumn.
Edit: Looks like the data they have is suggesting that fall could result in us finally overwhelming our hospitals...I sure hope not. We've done so well: https://canoe.com/news/national/covid-19...heresa-tam
