Just read a very informative article earlier here on the IBJ listing. Basically it says to take the weekend related and early week reporting w/ a grain of salt… it lags…
There were only 6480 tests (much below the number of daily tests reported since July 14). The 561 positives are 8.66% of the tests reported (which is the highest number since the aberrational report on July 11). Here’s a link to a spreadsheet gathering the data over time:

Since results are starting to lag 2 weeks out, of course the number of reported positive cases is falling. Just as the president says, less tests = less cases.
I hope to see this article updated once results start coming back in.
Testing and the reported results are really inconsistent – my co-workers who need to visit customer facilities were tested at a walk-in clinic and reported as Positive. They called their Doctors and were re-tested at a Hospital. They were all negative.
Reports are that the walk-in clinics are not re-calibrating their machines and producing incorrect results.
How about only 3 deaths?
Two weeks of record positive tests and only 3 deaths.
Either the testing data if faulty or we’ve got great treatments and the virus is now very weak.
Open schools and businesses now please. Stay home if you wish.
Bernard, just to be clear, there have been at least 140 deaths in the past two weeks.
+1 Bernard.
