Some days this is true.....10-13% positives depending on that particular day stats, and 7% overall since we began measuring. But so what? Increased positives with a declining critical case and mortality rate are proving the virus to be weaker and weaker than first thought. New cases alone mean nothing as the vast majority have few or no symptoms.When we had 1 million tests back in early September we had 25,906 positive new cases, now with 2 million tests we have 162,822 new positive cases, clearly new positive cases are growing a lot faster than testing!!!!!The only surge is proirtinally increasing positives as to increased testing.Hospital stays down to average of 5 days from 3 weeks in March......critical case rate at .46% from 10% in May.....testing over 2 million a day from hundreds of thousands earlier, positive case rate at 7% overall and that is down also. Mortality rate at 2.0% from 6.5% in May.Yes, there is a surge.Hospital stays down to average of 5 days from 3 weeks in March......critical case rate at .46% from 10% in May.....testing over 2 million a day from hundreds of thousands earlier, positive case rate at 7% overall and that is down also. Mortality rate at 2.0% from 6.5% in May.

140,000 positives from 2 million test is EXACTLT the same thing as 70,000 positives from 1 million or 35,000 from 500,000.
Emotionally and mentally undeveloped lockdowners see the big number if 140,000 and incorrectly feel that some huge uptick is occurring when it’s all just proportional
