Lot of media stories comparing opening up with current death rates (lagging indicator) and case-discovery rates.
Very misinforming.

I saw that WV is going to use pos rates in testing to determine their re-opening. Interesting.

Yep, deaths are on average 14 days behind initial case date which is about 4 days behind probable day of infection.

Too many variables in testing to be that useful. IMHO, case numbers for determining success or failure would be the best metric to use.
