And cases don’t mean hospital beds. AIB (asses in beds) is what we need to keep an eye on. Increased testing results in more cases—that’s a no brained. But “sick” people is the key.
If there is room in the hospitals, we are OK. If the rooms are running out, we need to do something. It’s pretty simple.

Though wouldn’t it also “result in less cases” - I mean, in a sense - not being Zen there. That sooner or later the cases left go to a trickle, you get around to the more far flung areas and there just aren’t as many cases as there in New England to report? Dunno if that’s clear, heh.

Being as that state is somewhere between “new case” and “ex-parrot”, doesn’t it seem likely that number would also be trending down along with the other two measures? i.e. the three are linked by nature?
