This is the beginning of a upward trend. If in a week or two restrictions are put back in place it’ll be too late and the upward trend will continue for a further couple of weeks. At best. Of course we’ll be seeing a lot of whitewashing taking place.

Of course that’s partly because of more testing but shouldn’t the daily new number of confirmed cases be going below 20K by now?

I know. Note the sarcasm. Nothing needs to be said.

By the 2nd weekend in June we may be back over 30K/day nationally especially after a holiday weekend when everyone will be at gatherings despite the advice against it.

Better hope we have more tracing after testing.
