I found out the CDC transmission rates the MD state board is using to determine whether counties can unmask are wrong. They are calculating transmission rates using the 7 day TOTAL cases instead of the average. That's why the CDC map shows all states in the High category. Been trying to get the word out to other counties and local news outlets as well so they can fight the state board.
My county in MD was the first to lift the school mask mandate. The tide is turning!
