There was a brief spike in daily new cases that was extremely high, then it lowered. It will take more than a day or two to know if it is truly subsiding as fast as it’s growing, and what the meaning of that spike was, so this seems premature.

- kevinmchugh 5y agoMedia reports about case counts are useful because they precede hospitalizations by days or weeks. This allows the risk averse to modify their behavior sooner.
