If your FOMO has been setting in this holiday season, seeing friends on Instagram hopping around bars and venues in other states, even eating
inside, then you and I have something in common. While Colorado s shutdowns and restrictions have been a total downer, there s some good news: Colorado is doing better at getting COVID cases down than most other states are, according to new data.
A new model provided by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Colorado School of Public Health shows Colorado s COVID cases are finally starting to drop, KKTV reported.
Additionally, one of Colorado s epidemiologist added that the downward trend in cases in Colorado is not what s going on nationwide, crediting Coloradans’ actions and the state s policies.

Back on Aug. 11, the state reported 1 in 900 people were contagious with COVID-19. Author: Marshall Zelinger Updated: 6:44 PM MST December 15, 2020
DENVER There are 1 in 40 Coloradans contagious with COVID-19.
That statistic comes from the bottom of a news release provided by Democratic Gov. Jared Polis on Monday.

On Nov. 24, the statistic was 1 in 41.
On Nov. 15, it was 1 in 110.
On Nov. 5, it was 1 in 100.
And back on Aug. 11, the state reported 1 in 900 people were contagious with COVID-19.
How does the state figure that out? We use this SEIR model. Susceptible, Exposed, Infected, Recovered, or frankly, Recovered or Deceased, said Dr. Jonathan Samet, dean of the Colorado School of Public Health.
