Here’s the most updated data on OC testing. Note the data for number of tests was updated for the prior week (surprised the update on testing was so large).
As you can see, the number of pretty much everything is at all time highs. Cases came down a little this week.
The next question is: Will Memorial Day festivities bring a surge of cases next week?
It’s clear policy rules are changing: OC has record high 7 day average hospitalizations, deaths, and new cases… and yet continues to reopen. See the data here:
Note the number of tests has been declining so this isn’t a testing increasing issue. Plus deaths and hospitalizations doesn’t depending on testing asymptomatic people.
The question is what this means for our recovery and economy. We will see soon what percentage of the decline in demand is due to mandatory stay-at-home and what percentage is due to people voluntarily staying away due to fear.
