This could be a reporting anomaly due to some weekend effect, or it might be a real turning point.

The article goes on to say: "As you can see from the chart above, new daily cases were growing by leaps and bounds on a daily basis until Sunday,

From March 21 to March 22 alone, our new daily cases skyrocketed from 4,825 to 9,400. From March 25 to March 26, the daily cases grew from 13,355 to 17,224.

This pattern continued for several days until the final number was tallied on Sunday, registering at "only" 18,469, down over 1,000 new cases from Saturday.

Yes, our "total" case count is still growing by what could be considered an alarming rate, but we need to look deeper into the numbers.

The fact that the daily "new" cases appear to be slowing down means that the virus is not spreading at the frightening rate it had been.

Take note, the cases that are showing up now are cases that likely originated 5-7 days ago. That means our nationwide efforts to enforce "social distancing" are working just like Trump said they would. (KEEP IT UP!)

Another reason these numbers are incredibly encouraging is because we're TESTING more people than ever before. On Sunday, our country conducted 95,000 tests alone, yet we still registered over 1,000 less cases than the previous day.

We're not saying the pain is over yet, but this drop in new cases is the first glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel for our country.

Cases may very well jump back above 20k on Monday, but as long as we have stopped the exponential growth of new cases per day, we are well on our way to defeating this invisible enemy once and for all."

New case totals for tonight. Folks, if this is good data, understand - it's not exponentially going up - it's not even linearly going up - it may be getting ready to head down image

Never fear, any second now the leftist media will be claiming that it has quadrupled instead.

There were a little more or less than 20,000 new cases per day for each of the past several days.

Over the past day, March 30, there were 21,778 new cases.

Daily numbers are worthless unless factored with cases tested.
The ratio of new cases found divided by the cases tested is a valid number and at least in Washington state seem to be beginning to trend down.

3 to 5 days for a trend to genuinely appear. I’m looking for a glimmer of hope too, but let’s not be hasty.
