I hope the increase is mainly tied to increased testing capacity.

That is likely the case, though I read this morning we still lag behind the rest of the country in our testing rate.

And the 14 day average doesn’t show a flattening, but rather a steady increase for the past month. Likely also primarily from more testing, but even still that seems to indicate this virus is more prevalent than the actual numbers show. And a lot of people here in Birmingham seem to have abandoned the safer at home guidelines this past week. Lot more cars on the road, fewer masks in the grocery stores, we’ve gotten several invites to meet for dinner, pools opening, etc. Just seems people are of the belief we are in the clear.
