Okay. But here in Washington state we were testing 1000 per day with about 100 positive.
For the last couple days we have been testing 2500 per day with about 100 positive.
To me that indicates that percentage of positive cases is now falling. As of yesterday we had 904 positive and 11,582 negative.
And this is a good thing.
It might be falling in Washington. That is great. It’s falling elsewhere in the US.

I’ve found these numbers fascinating over the last couple days. The increased testing numbers surely reflects the increased availability of testing. What strikes me most is the number of negative tests (92%). Not to minimize the extent of the COVID spread or the seriousness of the disease in some patients, but most of what people have is not COVID but colds/flu/other seasonal viruses. That I find somewhat reassuring.
