Thanks. I enjoyed your description! Our decision would be based on my DH's work position ... which will take a very hard follow of anything coming from the state level. If the state suggests a 14-day quarantine, his project will enforce it.
Thanks for the explanation. Perhaps you could do a retrade of the Scottsdale reservation to something in California. I've seen some 1 and 2 BR Marriott Palm Desert using an accommodation certificate. The weather in Palm Desert is usually quite similar to Phoenix.Sorry, I jumped into a a thread am not the Original Poster (OP).

(Thank you for the hiking suggestion!
What a silly post. No I was not making that absurd argument that cases increase when you test more. What I stated is "California has had a spike in positive tests, due almost exclusively to an incredible increase in testing. " I also noted that the positive rate in San Diego has remained the same, which is true. Nor was I saying we should not be testing more.The positivity testing rate in Riverside County home of PD is 9.1%. So take your chances I’m not.

As to Dave repeating of the Trumpter arguement that we only have more cases because we are testing more, what nonsense. Of course we are and we’ll find even more with additional testing. So let’s not test and it will all magically go away.
The Argument That Increased COVID Cases Are ‘Only Due To More Testing’ Is Just Plain Stupid

We were supposed to be at NCV on November 29th, and Four Seasons Aviara on 12/6, but have canceled NCV and are still on the fence about Aviara. We still have a bunch of free Bonvoy nights and 3 travel packages to use up (by mid January and early February) and just don't want to be away so much. I have been rebooking (and retrading) lots of trips and then rebooking again, since we don't want to fly yet, and are rather limited on the West Coast. I think we'd have been fine, as both NCV and Aviara are easy to socially distance, and we do not need sightseeing since we have lived in California forever, but have a grown son and his wife visiting over Christmas before they leave for his USAF assignment in Germany, and would not want to pick up anything contagious while wandering around the beaches and outdoor dining! We have another NCV reservation for late January, and have had great weather in January and February in the past. Not swimming weather, but sunny and beautiful. We are just happy the fire danger will be reduced with the storms now coming in. Our Waiohai res has been moved twice, and we now have a May reservation, but being seniors, the flying is a bit daunting. Still have to deal with accumulated points, but that can wait! With a granddaughter's wedding in Scotland rescheduled from last summer to June 2021, I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can be flying internationally again to use up some of those MVCI points in Spain and France, but not counting on it! Good luck everyone!
Ann, From what I understand Marriott extended the travel packages to August 2021 recently.
All the typical outdoor things that you have anywhere else. Hiking, beaches, etc. Balboa Park is a popular tourist spot, but the indoor museums will likely be closed. Will it be fun to walk around anyway? That depends on what you like to do. Personally, I'll take outdoor stuff over indoors anytime, covid or not. I think the most difficult thing with planning ahead right now is that stuff can be open on the day you travel and then end up being closed a couple days later.
Correct, but when most big counties are significantly increasing testing, there is little to no adjustment. So if every county increases tests by 10 and their "case rate" (I hate this term) goes from 6 to over 50, they should be shut down? This then penalizes all counties for increasing their testing, and it simply makes no sense to base on the raw (even if adjusted somewhat) numbers. Sorry, but no science behind this.

I have some question as to the significance of the positivity rate. I know that zero would be great (and impossible). But I think that it is a weak statistic. If the only people who were getting tested were those that had Covid symptoms and either went in for their self-test or were people referred by their doctor or hospital (if admitted) then a high positivity rate would be expected. In fact, a 50 percent positivity rate would just mean that half the people tested didn't need to be tested. But I also realize that a bunch of people are tested who are doing so only because they are required: Nursing center personnel, medical personnel, etc. who are probably tested weekly. Plus all of the people who are tested in order to avoid a 14 day quarantine. So, there IS some value to the statistical positivity rate. It is just a little weak without knowing the underlying universe of people getting the test. If some people's jobs are requiring them to get weekly Covid testing, then that statistic would be a valuable one. If we could somehow eliminate (from the positivity rate) the people who got tested because they are showing symptoms, then that would increase the value of the statistic. Or if the people getting the test were randomly selected....The positivity testing rate in Riverside County home of PD is 9.1%. So take your chances I’m not.

Thanks. Online they still say January and Feb. 2021, so I'll call to be sure.
Yes the state government decided to create an all new metric for shutting down, punishing those that are doing well. Continually moving the goal posts, of course always based on the science as interpreted by an all knowing single person.
