[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Less testing means less positives.  Parents may not be reporting the positives.  I doubt it dropped that quickly.  [/quote]
The amount of testing in the state and the county has been pretty much constant this month.

The data for the 20th was just reported, and the seven day average in MoCo is now 15.02% for tests administered. For context, the seven day average on the 13th was 23.58%, and on the 6th it was 26.1%. The daily percentage has been around 10% in recent days, so you will see the seven day average fall below 15% beginning tomorrow, and it will continue to fall from there.

Even if the amount of testing is down, it could mean several things:

1. people are not showing symptoms, so they don't test
2. people are not being exposed to people who tested positive, so they don't test
3. people recently had covid (which we know a lot of people did recently), so, they don't need to test again.

In any case, all signs are going in a positive direction, that is it's going negative.   Event the covid ICU hospitalization rate has been trending down rapidly.  That should be a good indicator as well that less and less people are getting serious symptoms.[/quote]
