This is pretty remarkable folks.
This is the first time below 200 patients in more than a month

This is a game changer
Colorado has effectively gotten passed its second bad spell and things are falling again.
Look at positivity, for example.
(*this is not updated with today's numbers yet)
Yesterday we were below 3%!

Look at CASES
(Again, yesterday's numbers as new numbers aren't in until 4pm)
Second hump is clear here.
(this is all GOOD news)

This all comes at a critical time.
Schools are set to start up again. Many will not immediately move to in-classroom teaching.
But this is really good news.
Was feeling a little pessimistic three weeks ago. Not anymore.
(*Of course, we ain't out of this thing BTW)

Questions I now have:
While this corresponds nicely with statewide mask mandate, I am left to wonder if it alone is the reason for the news?
Positivity has gone DOWN again.We were hovering around 5% for awhile. Why is that?
What impact will schools have on this moving forward?

Don't get me wrong. The virus is still active. There is no cure.
BUT
The models presented by the state a few weeks ago are now 100% antiquated.
We are on a different course.

BOTTOM LINE
As vigorously as we report the bad news, we must continue to champion the good days and the good news
We are FAR from this being over, but in the two weeks since I last worked, things have gotten better. And I'll take that.
Have a good week yall!

ONE MORE THING
I think this is pretty much cementing the idea that wearing a mask when indoors and in public is a no-brainer.
Sure, maybe this good news is all coincidental, but wearing a mask ain't gonna kill you. And right now it appears as if it might actually be working
