@dsh33782 Thank you Don, for doing this every day. I am not surprised to see the change like you show - remember that yesterday was reflecting weekend numbers, when reporting may not have been at peak efficiency, so today's numbers are perhaps showing the reporting catching up with the reality. Overall, I am heartened to see that the number of new cases reported have "flattened" for several days - hanging at about 20,000 new cases per day, even though it becomes a smaller percentage of total cases reported - it may indicate that isolation is helping.
It will be interesting to see if we begin to see the number of new cases decline as isolation goes on.
The second concern I have is that the numbers reported, as alarming as they are, are only test-confirmed cases of the virus. We KNOW there are many people symptomatic but untested due to shortages, so the public needs to assume that this virus is far more common that reported.
Stay calm, Stay home & Stay safe.
