Message: [QUOTE="Fairfield Fan, post: 3613003, member: 6911"] The figure in the state of Connecticut is under 1% positive out of all tests performed daily. We're the best i the nation. But we're the third smallest state geographically, and lots of people travel through, or travel to or from Fairfield County into the country's biggest city. So we're not an island by any means. What happens in Florida or Texas or California, will eventually lap up against our small state. I believe that the CDC said that having a positive test rate under 5% was necessary for any sort of reopening. That along with declining numbers of new infections for at least two weeks, and steadily declining numbers of hospitalized Covid patients. So just being "in line" with the nation's 5% positive testing rate is nothing positive. Still bad. Still far worse situation than any other developed nation. Still means that we're a pariah among those nations, cut off from travel. We're in serious trouble. [/QUOTE]
