New cases subsiding in US.  Possible causes:

1.  Fewer tests being run.
2.  More care being taken to distance and wear masks by individuals.
3.  Shutdowns in some states.
4.  Some level of latent resistance in some percentage of the adult population.

Testing is down in some places, but up in others. Not sure what the national numbers are.

As more of us have been exposed, cases will go down. Testing will go down as symptoms go down.

I have to get tested in a couple of weeks, prior to having a procedure. I'll be happy to contribute to the negative result counts.
U RAH RAH! WIS CON SIN!

They apparent are in Florida, which "some" claim is the governor attempted to massage the figures for tourism reasons.

It could also be that folks are just not wanting to get tested.  If the test is the one I had, I would not do it again except if it was very necessary for something serious.

Even the wife said it was bad.  She warned me, I didn't know they did both nostrils.  I had to sit in the car a couple minutes before I could see to drive.

Made my eyes water something fierce, no doubt.

Hospitalizations and ICU use trending steadily down in Texico since a peak about a month ago, good news.  Some school districts are back in-person, although most of the major metro area school districts are online-only until 9/8 at the very earliest.  So I'm not sure we'll get much change in data as a result of school going back in session in August.

Orange County should be going off Newsom's "watch list" today. 14 days off that and schools can reopen in person.

if you don't get test results back sooner than 10 days, it's not much use

just quarantine and forget the test

If I was symptomatic I'd get tested. 

And I'd get the horrible nose swab. I don't trust the throat swab.

My problem with the nose swab as that I thought I was done after the first one, and then she wanted to poke the second nostril.

We walked around a good bit the past two days and both of us noted that masks are becoming rare, or at least uncommon, around here, versus a month ago.

I also noted the restaurant next door has tables in a covered patio area that are in the same place they were pre-C, crowded, and the place was packed, with folks standing outside in a group of 15 or so waiting to get seated.  It's nice they have business, but it's business as usual, and they even put four tables outside where they used to have valet parking that are full.

Some folks ran or walked right by us making no effort to distance even if there was room.  The wife yelled at two folks, I told her to ease up.

So, the guidelines around here are being widely ignored.  And the care numbers continue to drop.  Sunday often is a low day so I don't know if that figure is reliable.  The peak around a month ago had the 7 day average over 3,700 per day new cases and now it's 2,417, yesterday 1,717.
