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.

Last two weeks 23000 died nationally.
Since 5/6 or ten days
Ga 4000 cases 280deaths
Al 3000 cases 145 deaths
case increase is predictable due to increased testing
I am in the dead if you get it group with diabetes and COPD
but I understand there is no choice but to open things up.
The country can not survive economicaly being shut down for
months. Folks like me just have to stay sheltered. Sucks but it is what it is.
Number of cases don't bother me like number of deaths with the caveat that number of cases means there are that many more people to spread it.
