So, yes, small increase day to day...
but, like I always say, day-to-day is a bad metric
Safe to say, we still appear to be in what I like to call Phase FOUR
(see my "artwork" below)

Now let's look at POSITIVITY (Red) and TESTING (green and yellow)
As of now, 2.52%
One week ago... 3.06%
(that's good)
Testing hovering around 7k
(That's relatively low)

What's interesting (to me)...
is that you can generally see the four phases if you look at the 7-day average for POSITIVITY
(someone smarter than me, I am sure, has a really good explanation for this... but as you know from my typos... I am not smart)

One more, then I'll let you go...
ANTIBODY TESTS (different from the PCR "jab you in the nose" tests)
Notice red line below
Generally testing at around 8% positive
(remember this test shows past infection)
What's it mean? We're likely < 10% in population that's gotten this

MORAL of the story
NO indication of anything to significantly worried about... not yet...
I'll watch hospital numbers a little closer this week, but with low positivity, I wouldn't expect to see anything sustained
Have a good rest of your week yall.
