What's this?

If the increase since April was 10 or 15%, I'd agree with you, but

you think the SIX fold increase in testing from April 1 to July 1 is a function of a lag in test results and is not meaningful and therefore a correlation between the increase in positive tests and a 6 fold increase in testing can't be trusted? Please tell me you don't believe that.

I'm not saying the recent increase isn't a concern, but the positive test numbers are not directly comparable to the positive test numbers from April because of the massive difference in # of tests.
