I think it's going to be a combination of a few workplace cases, more people being out and about, and more tests being administered. There MAY be something going on at the Hyundai plant. My brother in law works there, has the symptoms, and got tested yesterday. He says several coworkers have been out but he doesn't know if they were positive or not.
Monday was the first time since this started that I saw rooms in a regular (not a COVID special use area) Montgomery ER marked up with infectious disease warnings on the doors. Both Baptist South and Jackson still had plenty of open beds when we brought patients in, but they did have Covid cases in a place where I hadn't encountered them. I don't know if that was because of spillover or simply that they're more confident in handling cases now but it was interesting.

Agree on the first two, but tests administered has been relatively flat for the past few weeks so not sure that is having an impact on the increase in confirmed cases.
The 7 day average for percentage of positive test results is currently around 10%. It was at 3% on May 1.
