Holiday gatherings? Find your COVID-19 risk.

Cool tool.

Find your county on the map. Use the slider to show the number of people gathering. (There is another factor, testing frequency, but you can calculate at the x 5 or x10 levels.)

You can use this to discourage gatherings or, however unlikely, encourage gatherings.

I can find my county but can't seem to select it. Wasco, County Oregon is 67%. well, I'm not invited to any gatherings anyway.

We are staying in. Daughter and son in law are Covid positive. They WERE gonna have some others over for dinner, we opted to not go since we didn’t know the others. So her cancelling didn’t upset us.

I'm sorry, Liz.

my plan for Christmas is to watch Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas and maybe It's a Wonderful Life.

What is your county...if you care to share.

 

[JackieOnLine]

I did! it's Wasco County in Oregon.

 

[Spiky Bugger]

I misunderstood.

Wasco County is 67% IF your gathering is 50 or more people.

At 20 people, it’s still a 36% chance you have a COVID person there.

There’s a slider, on the bottom left of the page, you use to adjust for gathering size.

oh, I see. well, my first thought is the biggest gathering I've been to for months was a total of 4 and masked.

not counting work, of course.
