Pretty much when you try to claim it means something.

The number of cases don't really mean that much. It's the number of deaths that are the real indicator, even if they are lagged a bit.

Add 1000 cases of people in the 19-35 age group and it doesn't mean much of anything. Might get 2 deaths at worst. Add 1000 cases of people in the 65+ age group, that's a big deal. You are then looking at 100's of deaths.

And the number of positive cases can spike even without a spike in the actual number of people infected. They are just catching them more. So for example if a plant decides to test all it's employees and it finds an "outbreak" is happening. The majority of them generally have no symptoms and never will. They would have never been tested in normal circumstances.

Same thing with the so called outbreaks in prisons. High cases, low amounts of deaths because most aren't affected.

Basically, the case numbers are useless for anything other than trying to fear monger people, or trying pass off your extreme butt hurt as trolling.
