The positive percentage is the big tell in all of it. More testing will mean more positives, yeah. But for a while the state has dropped from 10% positive in tests to 6% while the number of positives stayed the same. That was a good thing! The number of percentage positive tests, however, are increasing and things have been opened for two weeks. It’s not drastic so it’s too early to sound an alarm bell, but it’s worth watching.
Yes, but is the increase in positive % just capturing some of the community spread that already existed but was undercounted (as we know, a lot more have/had it than were reflected in official numbers)? Too soon to tell...it’d be nice if they contact traced some of these people testing positive, which would give a better idea if it’s truly spreading from recently opened business activity
