The State will move Contra Costa County to the “Red Tier” once the following three criteria have been met for two consecutive weeks:
- Case Rate: Less than 7 new cases per 100,000 residents – (currently 11.5)
- Positivity Rate: Less than 8% of tests countywide are positive – (currently 3.6%)
- Equity Metric: Less than 8% of tests for residents of the lowest quartile of the Healthy Places Index census tracts are positive – (currently 5.8%)
K-6 School Reopening:
Contra Costa County is currently in the Purple Tier. Schools may not reopen for grades 7-12 while in the Purple Tier. K-6 school may reopen for in-person instruction in the Purple Tier if the adjusted case rate has been less than 25 per 100,000 population (currently 10.8) per day for at least 5 consecutive days (schools can now reopen) and the school has an approved COVID Safety Plan. Local school officials will decide whether and when to reopen once these criteria are met.
I have a solution to get to “Red Tier”
Shut down all testing areas In CCC!
Open my gym already! Should’ve never been closed in the first place.
Based on my admittedly limited understanding of this complex tier system, I would guess Contra Costa County will be moved up to the red tier on March 16th or March 23rd. I think it will be on the 16th because I would expect the health equity metric to dip under 5% on the 9th. This would help waive the two week “red tier criteria” requirement I believe, which caused San Mateo and Marin counties to move up last week despite only meeting the above three criteria for one week. I wish they just had three tiers with easier-to-understand metrics because I have absolutely no idea if what I just stated was correct or not.
“Two more weeks.”
We had dine-in breakfast at a location in California I refuse to disclose, as we were driving out of Kleptofornica for good. Had dine-in dinner in Arizona and Oklahoma. Will have dine-in breakfast in Arkansas before reaching our new home. Heck, I feel as powerful as Gavin bin Lyin right now, except I kept my integrity.
And this is your Sunday Troll Report.
Congrats and I wish you well. Please don’t be like my brother and constantly brag about your new home and put down CA all the while always staying on claycord and east bay times. Move on and forget about us. Enjoy your new life. Stay safe.
Tiers of a Clown.
It looks very promising!
Lol….Equity Metric?
Wtf?
Such a joke.
Best wishes Chuckie. We are very happy here in The Free State of Arizona. And to the whiner…..we pt up with enough crap from Commifornia that we will post what we like, when we like until cancelled.
MDUSD chief, Chereese Kahund (Future Assemblywoman, President of the Diablo Valley Democratic Club, Founder of MDEF that killed off PEAK in Walnut Creek, also fought hard against Northgate Unified School District because it wasn’t fair to poor people in Pittsburg) is dragging her feet. She is kowtowing to the teachers union so she can get their endorsement for a future run for office. Please tell her to fight for children instead of fighting for her political future.
Agreed. Prime example of a self-serving political hack.
Case Rate target for Red Tier is < 7 new cases per 100000 residents with allowing 1 new case per 14285 residents. The present is 11.5 new cases per 100000 residents with an infection rate of 1 new case per 8695. The difference 5590 virus free per 1 new case improvement needed.That’s just for the Red Tier. You can also use percentages for this and make it look even more ridiculous. If the state and county can play with the numbers so can we.
I know of people in their 20s, 30s, and 40s, with no conditions that would make them more vulnerable to Covid, getting vaccines. Some just asked their doctor, others signed up at CVS.
Apparently we aren’t prioritizing anyone for the vaccine. It’s a free-for-all, every man for himself situation.
