What changed?
Why not celebrate that the infection rate has gone down to 7.7% and that there were only six deaths and the ICU beds also went down why are you saying that it was the 14th time in the last 14 days that there was over 600 cases why are you always celebrating the negative
That wouldn’t fuel the panic.

Why would they report that? The 7 day positivity rate dropped to 7.9%.
release the hounds!!
