We’ve met nearly all the reopening metrics. It’s insane at this point.[/quote]

6/10 is not nearly all, it's barely more than half, but  I thought we needed to meet all of them, not nearly all.  [/quote]

First of all, we went into Phase 1 without meeting even 6.

But let’s take a look at the others:

- Cases are at 8 of 14 days, but positivity rate is going down, so we know the new cases are due to increased testing, not because the virus is spreading more quickly

- number of new deaths is at 12/14. Nearly there and, also, we are averaging a low number of deaths (7 per day).

- Acute care bed utilization is at 2/14 but the 3-day average is at 71%, which nearly at the benchmark of under 70%.

The last one isn’t a declining metric; it’s testing capacity. Right now it’s at 3.2% of the population, above the CDC’s benchmark of 2%. Gayles wants it at 5%, but hasn’t said why.
