This whole reporting thing is REALLY jacked up which is what makes these numbers look worse than they are.
Lots more testing so obviously going to get more results that show positives. But the biggest issue in these "positive" tests are the fact that it lumps those with the active virus in with those that test positive for antibodies. Mean those that have had it and were possibly asymptomatic are still a "positive" test so the number jumps by 1 even though they aren't a new active case.
Also more elective procedures are opening up again. Say someone wants a boob job. She gets tested, she shows positive. She was asymptomatic so never showed the signs, but now they test the whole family, poof there is another say 3 positive tests, none showed signs of it so in light of the elective procedure there are 4 new "positive" cases that would have never been reported without that.
Also the issue with deaths is they are lumping those that died FROM convid-19 in with those that HAD covid-19 but didn't necessarily DIE from it as deaths from it anyways. So again skewing the number higher than it should be. In some case even if they didn't know for sure if they even had it when someone died but suspected it, they checked the box saying they had it. So those particularly in the early days might have been extra inflated numbers.
So even with these flawed reporting of numbers yes cases are up but hospitalizations and deaths are trending down.
